Who was the woman who described watching Star Trek in the 60s, and seeing Lt. Uhura for the first time? "MOMMA! THERE'S A BLACK LADY ON TV, AND SHE'S NOT THE MAID!!!"

#Tesla refuses to come to terms with the Swedish labour unions. As a result, nobody is willing to link up their charging stations in the small Swedish town of Vansbro. But Tesla has found a solution.

They've bought some diesel generators. 🙄

It was astonishing to me to learn that reading a piece of writing out loud from the page in a comprehensible and engaging way is a skill. And it's a skill that some extremely intelligent and accomplished people lack. And they don't know that they lack it.

OK, so the new version of Office has LLM integration. What I want to know is HAS IT GOT A BIG CLIP ART PACKAGE????

Imagine telling someone in 1950 that train travel across Europe will one day be the expensive alternative chosen by well-off people with environmentalist opinions, while unskilled workers will only be able to afford air tickets, and arrive in a fraction of the time.

Oh, you were thinking of demanding some sympathy for the financially distressed white working man in the US?

Fuck that. I'm from an actual modern Western country where everybody gets government-subsidised student loans and citizens pay no tuition in higher education.

You know how that came about? Our grandparents and parents *voted for it*, not against it. Duh. 🙄

You may think I'm weird, but I actually prefer people who are kind, smart and educated over those who are mean, stupid and ignorant. I'm not even going to pretend otherwise.

Konservativt bokmål = 1700-talets danska 😄

Jag vill att du stannar upp med mig och njuter av att nynorska KORLEIS är detsamma som svenska HURULEDES.

Lovely animal art design with two antithetical beasts. Early 8th century? #art

Funny how Scandy fascists keep calling #Islam an evil #religion despite being almost completely secular themselves. It's almost as if they don't really care much about Islam, they actually just hate and fear people with black hair.

You're across from this man on the train to Oslo. What do you imagine he's travelling for today?

@btuftin At a motel. Under fake names. Pax tecum!

@btuftin
Nope, missed that. Can you suggest a summary?

@btuftin
Hahaha, underbart! Och en massa polsk-judiska familjer blev aningen förvånade! 😄

#goodafternoon from Oslo Central. The train west across the mountains will have no restaurant car, so I brought sandwiches and some odd leftover game night snacks.

There's a lot of talk about oligarchs retreating into bunkers, but not enough about 1950s style scientist mastermind collectives withdrawing from all the hopeless assholes into their secret lairs.

Myself, I have been advocating for decades that all the world's non-archaeologists should be deported to the volcanic island of Surtsey. Because having risen out of the sea in 1967, Surtsey is completely free of archaeological sites that people can mess up.

#Goodmorning from dark Fisksätra. And Good Yule to all who agree with the Swedes that 24 December is the main event! Today is basically cooking, baking, family meals and reading for me. And you?
