I've written a blog post about the most recent trips regarding Sverigedemokraterna, the second-biggest political party in Sweden.

Jimmie Åkesson with a band-aid above one eye. He's smiling and looking pained. Katja Nyberg, until recently a leading politician in Sverigedemokraterna, now found to have driven a car while under the influence of alcohol and narcotics. Birger Furugård, Swedish nazi. Herrman Göring, top Nazi politician.

I've reviewed Scott Eden's 'A Killing in Cannabis: A True Story of Love, Murder, and California Weed'.

It's a so-so book. The exciting and well-written start of the book belies how the book fares as it goes on.

Book cover: a plastic bag meant to store cannabis. Title, subtitle, and author name, all in green, complete with blood spatter at the bottom.

I had to gather all of my impressions of Xiu Xiu's new album in a blog post.

I've written a post about how I'm getting back to Linux from having stayed with Windows for far too long.

I've written a blog post about music-streaming platforms, what Spotify have done—to all humans, not only to musicians and songwriters—and listed Spotify alternatives.

An UMAW take on Spotify Unwrapped: a list of how Spotify have invested in war tech, welcomed AI, played ICE recruitment ads, and still pays 0.003 per stream to musicians.

I've written about two kinds of serial killers: the one who murders people with their own hands and the one that murders people from behind their desk.

The cover of Caroline Fraser's new book 'Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers'. Ted Bundy's head is partly seen against the backdrop of a chimney from where tonnes of highly dangerous chemicals are dispersed into the atmosphere and, ultimately, into humans, animals, and the future. The book cover of Benjamin Nathans's 'To the Success of our Hopeless Cause: the Many Lives of the Soviet Dissident Movement'. White background, a glass of transparent liquid. The glass has been tipped over, the liquid having run.
