Thousands of protestors and tens of professional organisations at the #Stockholm manifestation against the proposed Fascist law about mandatory informing on undocumented migrants. The head of the national teacher's union is just speaking.

Anybody else for the #Gong gig in #Stockholm tonight? I'm going!

Some people might say that a 60s rock band that continues to tour despite having no original members is pathetic. But the Royal Swedish Orchestra was founded in 1526 and still plays great music, new and old. Not many of its members are original, but they're ace musicians.

@notesfrompoland Finally some good news in Polish politics!

@clacke I många lägen är det inte värt att vänta tills man observerat huruvida de bättrar sig. Kostnaden i det fall de *inte* gör det kanske är för hög.

@Lilla_AnnaMD Klart att Y blir ledsen. Jag tror inte han/hon kan handla annorlunda. Människor har inte fri vilja. Men jag rekommenderar verkligen X att dra.

When people say that there is no biological point to the existence of the ticks that transmit Lyme disease, I always reply that if you're a tick then the only point of the entire universe is to provide habitat for ticks.

@gorhendad_oldbuck Didn't know that word, thanks.

In late-90s #Stockholm there was a subculture with only two members: #bipolar #skateboard #Goths.

Funny detail in Marryat's 1836 novella "The Pirate". Current conventions for English fiction don't allow you to annotate dialogue with explanatory parentheses in the authorial voice.

You're all going to love the #space battles in my upcoming big-budget #scifi #movie. Completely soundless! Beam weapons are targeted by computers, fire continuously for several minutes and never miss! Protective fields don't exist! Hull punctures cause explosive decompression and the immediate death of the entire crew!

Saying "Don't delete history" about statue removal reveals a misunderstanding of the function of statues. Many of them communicate *values in the present*. Our knowledge of Hitler and Stalin doesn't decrease when we remove their statues. We remove them to communicate values in the present. Because we are no longer people who honour Hitler or Stalin with public statuary. Despite them both being unavoidable historical figures.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce Bi AF from Dick Automobile in Germany!

@Ibber Jag åt kvällsmat i the Aarhus street food court tre kvällar i rad nyligen!

@Ibber Ja! Jag skulle gärna vilja arbeta mig metodiskt genom alla matställena där. (-;

@pergus Yes! Gygax & Arneson!

@pergus It's truly bizarre. A bit like how Beck Hansen is a lapsed 2nd generation Scientologist.
