Kan med glede annonsere at eg for fullt er i gang med arbeid på mitt første soloalbum! #SunsetStudio #OneManBand

@AnjaLindtner @Hoyre Ho våger vel ikkje være åpen om kva ho meiner om t.d. Gaza no medan det er valkamp, her har Høgre kun tenkt å sanke stemmer på Ernas “popularitet” og frykten for krig… Råttent, kynisk parti.

Dere har vist oss alle en sterk vilje til å handle bak vår rygg, hvor demokratisk det er vites ikke….men at det danser rundt i grenseland er det nok ingen tvil om. Hvorfor skal vi velge noe sånt, @Hoyre

Incredible that Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew’s most public victim dies in an apparent suicide weeks after being hit by a bus and neither the US President or the British Prime Minister can even comment on it because they are so deeply personally embroiled in Epstein’s nexus

@enemycharlie I've always used a lot of dashes, both in Norwegian and English, in casual and academic writing. The anti-intellectuals really do ruin everything...

some of us read and write and use em dashes because they're useful!! i don't want to be grouped in with chatgpt users AHHHH

Most people are not angry enough about forced car dependency for me personally. Like our cities are designed so you basically have to own expensive and dangerous heavy machinery and you're not mad??

@oncloud_e I can relate

it's always "hunter schafer for vogue" this, or "hunter schafer for x magazine" that. when will it be hunter schafer for holding my hand. hunter schafer for giving me a little kiss and tucking me into bed. when will it be my turn

@jviddy @ThinkComing @TSoS_ You stopped at Children of Dune? God Emperor of Dune is easily the best in the series!

@ThinkComing @TSoS_ I have read the first 3 books and enjoyed both movies. You are well Worthing your rights to not enjoy the movies but you can’t speak for anyone else in the matter.

A young woman on my 11 hour flight watched Dune Part II, then apparently discovered that there is a Part I, watched that and then rewatched the entirety of Part II and I think she may have had the best time of her life.

@Spinnangr Blir enormt trist av at alle går rundt med pods. Det går ikkje lenger an å sei ting i forbifarten til frammande, eller gje dei eit kompliment. I dei fleste høve får dei ikkje med seg nokon ting, og ein føler seg dum og skamfull for at ein i det heile tatt gav det eit forsøk.

This used to be required reading...and should be again

@JennyENicholson Norwegian here, we never melt it, usually we use a cheese slicer to make thin slices and put it on toast, waffles or "lefse", with butter and jam, or plain. Only time we "melt" it is in gravy for gamey meats like deer, moose, reindeer, etc. We call it brunost (brown cheese).

This is one of my favorite kinds of cheese but I think I eat it wrong. I think you're supposed to melt it onto stuff but I just carve it off the cube and put it right in my mouth. But anyway if you see it at a store don't overlook it

“The luxury” of a livable wage? the capitalist class have fried ur brain.

@enemycharlie Antalie Portman lmao

i have the face of a bug. of an ant.

@RaxKingIsDead Louder, please, for the people in the back of the classroom!

why do you own it if you don’t need to stay there yourself

Landlords like to act as if they’re simply receiving compensation for a service when the reality is that they’re hoarding a basic need and profiting off of functional extortion - giving you an option between paying them or living on the street and pretending they’re benevolent.

Between The Odyssey and Dracula/Nosferatu I am actively fearful for how little culture the kids are picking up now. If it's not on a conveyor belt delivered to them they just won't seek it out. That's how art dies.

@enemycharlie Omg Charles this is why I love you, you understand the big truths and also you are very gender which is probably why you grasp the big true instead of being caught up in big lie.

Necropolitics is a great read. expands upon Foucault's biopolitics and applies it to this age of paranoia (one in which we are increasingly likely to cede our freedom in the service of "security"). people look at me funny when i say i'm against the idea of borders but from the bottom of my heart, i really am. heavily militarized borders that meticulously categorize each and every human that exits and enters as "welcome" and "unwelcome" are not natural. they dehumanize us. and the end goal, as Mbembe notes later on, is to create a world in which the wealthy of the western world can go wherever they please while "undesirables" are corralled into the global south--lands that are regularly terrorized, bombed, and looted by the western world.

"[E]verything leads back to borders -- these dead spaces of non-connection which deny the very idea of a shared humanity, of a planet, the only one we have, that we share together, and to which we are linked by the ephemerality of our common condition." - Achille Mbembe's Necropolitics

@Duekorps @TKobberroed @OlaSvenneby Fyren er meir uærleg enn virkelighetsfjern, spør du meg. Typisk Høyre-broilere.

@starwarstufff It was awful, Solo and The Last Jedi were far better. Ep. VIII was the best film of the franchise since Empire.

Is ROGUE ONE the best Star Wars movie?

the “male loneliness epidemic” thrives partly because straight men are more concerned with impressing other men than with being perceived as a good partner by the women they’re (supposedly) attracted to

Å pisse i et toalett stående er nasty
