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 Hope so too :) Now back to my primary account at circumstances.run

@CStamp I have a bit less interactions here now. I guess I shouldn't have added "old white man" to my bio a couple of weeks ago :)

What is 'excessive reposting'? When I came here a bit over two years ago people were all like 'retoot, retoot, retoot'. Has it changed? Is it all about 'me' now?

Ok, inspired by my new profile picture, I think it's time to tell a story. This was inspired by a picture I saw on Twitter, I think by Skulls and Sheets, who sadly doesn't post here any more. I basically made the story up from tweet to tweet. Buckle up for the story of Mari and the corgi.

New seasonally appropriate profile pic in its full glory.

Open letter from a group of sleuths re problems with editors/papers at Scientific Reports

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.
