I want to post more on here, but I never get around to it. But it is Friday. And Friday means a Negroni.

I promised myself 2025 would be a year of print.
I obvs haven’t been pure. It’s not easy. I’m overriding the app locks on my phone to make this skeet.
But I cannot recommend it highly enough. Printing presses are deliberate democracy.
Subscribe to periodicals. Buy books. Literate yo self.

Mere (om) Andersen - Dansklærerforeningens Folkeskolesektion
Det, der dybest set kanoniserer et forfatterskab, er, at det til stadighed tilføres nyt liv af nutidige forfattere, undervisere, forskere og læsere. Derfor er H.C. Andersens forfatterskab uomgængeligt...

Politikens anmeldelse af min bog er nu online. politiken.dk/kultur/boger...
H.C. Andersen var ikke politisk, men det var hans eventyr
Nogle forskere skaffer sig plads ved at rakke forgængerne ned. I sin nærlæsning af 12 af H.C. Andersens eventyr gør Claus Elholm det modsatte: Han bygger videre.

We're sending out cancellation of FLAS (Foreign Language & Area Studies) fellowships to dozens of students today, bc Trump has illegally refused to disburse year 4 of our DoE grants. Congrats to everyone in the GOP who is laser-focused on 🇺🇸 national security & the threat of rising 🇨🇳 to 🇺🇸 hegemony.
Yes, we’re literally about to zero out funding for every Title VI area studies center at every university in the country, along with FLAS fellowship funding. A generation of human capital that feeds into our diplomatic & intelligence corps that will simply not exist. National security madness.
Another angle to this. They've defunded the university language programs their diplomatic corps come from or go to to upskill. They can't even build back this expertise in the future even if they want to.

Am I disappointed? Maybe a little. Normally, they serve coffee on the short 25 minute domestic flights in Denmark but not today. Too much turbulence.

I believe these are the first four academic books to cite an episode of American Vandal, which, like, there will be prizes.

Copenhagen Airport used to be nice. Now, it is nothing but a tacky shopping mall. The only nice thing is the playground outside.
