I love memes and sarcasm but am also interested in human rights, politics, art and culture, architecture, digital accessibility, LGBTQIA+, and many other topics. I lived in the UK for many years but currently reside in my home country, Finland.

I'm here for the vibes and news, finding my kind of people, and the lovely TikTokkers who, due to the possible ban of TikTok in the US, cannot create content on that platform anymore.

The ESC 2025 finale is on.

For the first time in ages, I didn't watch the semi-finals or listen to any of the songs, so today has been interesting.

My top 3 probably are:

1. Austria
2. Luxembourg
3. Sweden

If you are watching the ESC finals, what is your top 3?

The soundtrack for the first third of 2025 is just a mechanical voice intoning "TERRAIN. PULL UP. TERRAIN. PULL UP. TERRAIN. PULL UP." over and over and over again.

I am a big fan of working out at home, following with the workouts on YouTube. Well, my post is not about me bragging that I exercise semi-regularly, but the point is that many trainers may be all?? I follow have pets!!

If you are familiar with Nordic Noir TV dramas such as The Bridge, you might want to read the thesis, "The Sounds of Nordic Noir".

Researcher Kaapo Huttunen says:

"The dark atmosphere of Nordic noir series is significantly influenced by their soundscape."

I'm watching the Macron-Trump press conference from the White House, and I'm just speechless..Trump claims he wants to be a "peacemaker and unifier".
Like WHAT? Delulu much?

I can't believe it has been 3 years already since Russia invaded Ukraine. My heart aches for the people who have lost their lives and for those who are carrying on fighting for their country.
I hope there's peace on the horizon, but with Ukraine's terms, not set by the evil trio=Trump/Elon/Putin.

I’ve spent the day listening to Rage Against the Machine, and I’m unsure if I’m about to have a nervous breakdown, midlife crisis, or literally burn everything to the ground.

It sure is gonna be fun to see which choose your own adventure pans out 🤣☠️

It's Saturday afternoon. Feeling sleepy. I think I will just give in to the temptation of having a nap. Which probably isn't wise as it messes up my sleep later. But that's my future self's problem.

I have now used Deepseek for two purposes. One related to work was whether we should continue using Calibri as a font or switch to Aptos. I got a very thorough reply to the question compared to the reply I got from ChatGPT. Based on my minimal experience so far, I am impressed with Deepseek.

I feed my tiny birds during wintertime, but this is a good reminder of why they are OK despite freezing temperatures (as long as there's food for them).

You listen to music when you take a shower, right? Surely I'm not the only one?

Anyway, not that I'll report here daily what my shower playlist is, but today, I thought I should, as the playlist is too epic not to be shared.

I know we've all got to promote ourselves or whatever but if the person you repost the most is yourself I am unfollowing sorry. I do not want to see every thing you say repeated five times a day! I do not think that is unreasonable!
