I don't usually share stuff in Icelandic but I want this to be seen.
My friend Ásgeir, poet and cultural critic, died last week. We had known each other since 1991 when I was twelve and he was fifteen. I tried to paint a picture of him and our relationship.
Traditionally such obituaries are published in the newspaper Morgunblaðið. Ásgeir used to work there and one of the last thing he published was a scathing indictment of the incoming editor, and former Prime Minister of Iceland, Davíð Oddsson. While most people kept their heads down hoping to be spared Ásgeir rose to the occasion.

I wonder what is the history of this little slice of building. Seen on my little walk into Long Melford.

@CStamp Same problem here. No easy solutions.

Open letter from a group of sleuths re problems with editors/papers at Scientific Reports
http://deevybee.blogspot.com/2024/10/an-open-letter-regarding-scientific.html
They've published 23K papers in 2024 with APC of £2090, raising £48 million from this journal alone, so should be able to put resource into cleaning this up.
Kojarzycie tych obcych / duchy / hatifnatów naklejanych na znaki drogowe?
Trafiałem na nich w miejscach odległych od siebie, często zadziwiająco dalekich od głównych dróg. Te z podpiętych zdjęć były złapane w województwie kujawsko-pomorskim i wielkopolskim, ale widywałem je też w zachodniopomorskim i pomorskim.
