Fantastiska gothkonstnären Malin Fredrika gjorde den här planschen inspirerad av min bok. Man kan köpa en för det facila priset av 150 kr inklusive frakt. DMa om ni vill ha. (Hela planschen till vänster, inzoomad bild till höger)
En svartvit målning med svart ram. Bilden föreställer skelettvarelser som växer fram ur marken på var sin sida om vatten. Bakom vattnet står en varelse som klätt sig i tyg och hud och satt dit ögon. Bredvid varelsen sitter en liten vit kanin. I bakgrunden syns ett stort kugghjul, som också speglar sig i vattnet. Texten säger: Kugghjulssjälar. Sofia Jeppsson. Hjärnan är inte du. Hjärnan är bara kött, bara kuggjul och fjädrar. Allt kan ersättas. Samma som förra bilden men bara själva målningen, ingen text.

Tågpersonal på SJ:
"Var inte det när du hade en affär med henne?"
"Jo, och det var kul på många sätt, men höll inte i längden..."
Jag: Men ska ni prata om det här såhär offentligt? Ingen skam i kroppen?
"Nä vi kunde ju inte konkurrera med de stora kedjornas priser."

Svårt att ta in hur totalt pantade de har blivit i det där partiet.

I'm in Montreal. I assumed everyone here speaks English too, but turns that's not the case. BUT! I have successfully spoken French with a lady working in a book shop. VERY slowly and badly, but at least I made myself understood!

Regeringen Kristersson har gett direktiv till polisen att sätta upp tusentals nya övervakningskameror runt om i landet. De har skruvats upp i alla centrum och invandrartäta områden, samtidigt som polisen ges tillgång till kamerabilder även från andra källor. Fler hamnar också i bilddatabaserna.
Därför träffade Kristersson Palantir-härskaren Peter Thiel
Palantir vill styra – och regeringen öppnar dörren, skriver Arbetets politiska redaktör.

Saw The Ugly Stepsister. Then, out of morbid curiousity, I Googled "tapeworm diet" ... first hit was a health website advising you NOT to buy tapeworm eggs on the black market; they're advertised as miracle pills for weight loss, but are very dangerous!
WTF! Is this still a thing?

Translation: "Eight-year-old Edda Svanlund Sekander dresses up as a hefty electric bill for Halloween, something she believes will scare the grown-ups as she goes trick-or-treating."
A child using a vastly oversized envelope, with the logo for an electricity company, as a costume. You can only see her face which is painted white to match the colour of the envelope.

We ended up on a 16-17 km hike. It was a little longer than intended bc I don’t have a sense of direction and misremebered some of the forest roads. The boys don’t complain, though, they love going for really long walks.
Three dogs standing on a small dirt road through the forest. Closest to the camera is Kirk, a yellow Tibetan Spaniel. Next is Laban a whiteish, a little apricot-coloured, Bichon Havanaise, with his fur cut relatively short. Furthest away is Spock, a black German Spitz.

Så långt jag läst hittills är det typ 50 % studentfest och 50 % demonologi, och den känns verkligen skriven av någon som kan studentfest. Jag kan bara anta att demonologin är lika korrekt vajbad.

Draws attention to some important but under-discussed dangers. Like, the mainstream interpretation of something (example used is J.S. Mill's moral philosophy) becomes more entrenched, and alternative interpretations completely marginalized. When too many people use LLMs, it streamlines everyone.

Small relief during the workday:

I thought ugh, this paper didn't get rejected outright? I gotta review a NEW VERSION of this shit?

No wait, it was another, much better paper I've previously reviewed and suggested only small revisions for!

Skrev i förra veckan om forskningen om hot och hat och om en haltande och ängslig journalistik på ämnet.

Nu publicerad i Dagens ETC, även om bara en bråkdel av forskningen fick plats:

Journalistiken måste sluta stamma om hatets avsändare
Sveriges bästa politikbevakare måste kunna mer än såhär.

Diskussionen om hoten och hatet mot förtroendevalda och andra personer i offentligheten haltar betydligt i media.

I dag gick jag igenom en rad pressklipp som rapporterar om forskning på ämnet och såg dessutom senaste Politikbyrån som sändes idag maa Hatt.

Selfie of me, a middle-aged white woman with pale skin and short, medium blond hair. I wear sooty eye make-up and red lipstick, a read-and-grey knitted scarf and grey coat. I'm standing on campus, outdoors, with some grass, a pond and a university building visible behind me.

Beach dogs - Laban, Kirk and Spock.
Three dogs playing on the beach. Spock, a black German Spitz, is running towards the camera, while Kirk, a yellow Tibetan Spaniel, and Laban, a mostly white Bichon Havanese, are running towards each other. Behind them you can see the sea bay, calm and sunlit, and further back, a shore with some houses and trees with yellow leaves.

My boys. Kirk, Laban and Spock.
Autumn day by the sea. Three dogs are standing fairly close to the camera, looking at me as I take the picture. Kirk, a yellow Tibetan Spaniel, Laban, a mostly white Bichon Havanaise, and Spock, a black German Spitz. They're standing on rocky, mossy ground. The sun is shining. Next to the sea bay, there are trees with yellow leaves.

Tröttaste skämtet varje år i Nobeltider: Folk som ironiskt postar "ÄNTLIGEN" om litteraturpriset för att det gick till nån de aldrig hört talas om och det blev inte Dan Brown eller postumt till Astrid Lindgren i år heller.

Alexander and Laban.
A middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses and a black sweatshirt, holding a mostly white Bichon Havanaise in his arms; a small, fluffy dog with long ears and the hair on the top of his head pulled up in a high "pony-tail".

The Red King on Netflix is uneven, but big props for having a cop MC who gets in serious trouble for FOLLOWING the law. She reports two colleagues who beat an accused rapist half to death after the court lets him off and everyone is like WTF are you defending rapists for? fucking BITCH (1/2)

I'm at the national book fair in Gothenburg!
Publishers: We can't come until Friday.
Me: No problem, I can easily haul 30 books by myself Thursday morning.
I DID haul 30 hardcover books (in a hiking backpack, the only bag I own big enough). Wasn't easy, though.
