Make that 30 minutes over schedule and technical issues
(I'm chill, I swear! 😅)
Attending conferences organised by the French is excellent cognitive behavioural therapy for my Swedish control issues. First part of the agenda and we're already 20 min over schedule.
I'm serious, I've learnt to chill and not fret unnecessarily.
Que sera, sera
I love hedgehogs! 🥰
27.8.2024 20:40I love hedgehogs! 🥰I'm a big fan of both George RR Martin and Brandon Sanderson as Fantasy writers and story tellers, but I generally think Martin is the better wordsmith.
There are however some passages of Sanderson's that genuinely take my breath away.
None more so than this one. 💔

I should have known.

I've figured out a way to add BILLIONS to research. Institute one singular Reference system for ALL journals and publications!
No exceptions. Just 1 system. I don't even care if stupid footnotes win over the objectively superior Harvard system (fight me). Anything to have just one way of writing citations and reference list. Imagine how much more we could get done with the time saved...

This might be the funniest failed ChatGPT prompt I've seen.
But mainly if you are a Humanities and Philosophy nerd.
(I'm not the one posing the question)
Frustrated with the plodding script for The Gilded Age, I rewatched Scorsese's adaptation of Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence for the 8th(?) time. It's so good it hurts. The sublime meeting of two masters of their respective craft, starring some of the best actors ever.
I will never not be outraged it wasn't nominated for Best Pic and that Pfeiffer didn't get an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. It's an impossible role yet she makes Ellen flesh and blood. 👑
Happy midwinter holidays!

So HAPPY new episodes of #DoctorWho can again be seen in Sweden instantly without resorting to drastic measures. I'm side-eying those viewer numbers for 13 since the BBC made it so bloody difficult to keep up with the show outside the bloody Commonwealth/US.
Doubly happy the new season kicks off with the BEST Companion: Donna!
#JusticeForDonna
Sweet and funny and poignant episode. 8/10
Meep meep!
