Huh, with the sheer volume of Aussie bartenders and waiters I’ve met here in Copenhagen I assumed there was already an open border agreement in place.
Happy to hear they’ll be free to bring more great banter from down under.

Humming, wrapping all my niblings’ Christmas presents while listening to stories of hideous industrial accidents that ruined thousands of lives on Fascinating Horror.
Just anything evil-aligned would do to show that they at least understand that they’re on the wrong side of history.
You have to give it to Palantir (and nothing else), taking their name from a corrupted artifact that shows you whatever it needs to entice you but ultimately betrays everyone it touches displays an admirable sense of self-awareness.
Granted, it’s just incredible how someone can go through Aragorn’s story about a scion king using loyalty and honor to unite disperate peoples against the mindless hordes of a tyrannical warlord and missing the point so catastrophically that your only takeaway is “that’d make a cool name for my company making mindless hordes for a tyrannical warlord”.
Maybe that’s the point.
Why DO so many dystopically inclined companies have names taken straight from Tolkien anyway?


Given their history of industrious villainy, it’s safe to say that the answer to that will be “Yes” as long as they’re in business.
My employer was taken out of commission by a ransomware attack for nearly a month.
About when that concluded, my fiancée contracted severe pancreatitis from a fairly routine surgery and has been fighting for her life ever since.
My doctor chalks down all the extreme dizziness and sleepless nights I’ve had down to stress. I have to hope she’s right cause I really don’t have the energy to spare for being ill right now.
So in summary, less than great so far.


Some personal favorites I have used or heard used lately :
“Der er ingen ko på isen” - “there is no cow on the ice” meaning that nothing is wrong after all
“Lave dobbeltkonfekt” - “making double confection” meaning making more work for yourself for no reason
“Gøre ham en bjørnetjeneste” - “doing him a bear’s favor” - a well intended deed that makes things worse in the long run
Glutes in the morning, calves in the evening. Smart! 👍
Not much? That’s almost 1kg a week for nearly half a year, that’s spectacular! Kudos!


All my former doomscrolling time now goes into working out, practicing French on Duolingo and going to events to meet people. So far so great!


Overcame my anxiety and asked a pretty girl out. We’re going out for drinks tomorrow night 😁
And had I not made the comment it would have been the work of minutes for someone to generate a thousand like it to drum up support.
Let’s not pretend anonymous internet comments have any actual bearing here. I’m just having fun coming up with new terms for this festering troglodyte.
Oh I agree wholeheartedly. But every time I see his ghoulish rictus of a face it reminds me that for four miserable years the democratically elected* leader of the largest economy in the world was a philandering child rapist. One who is only now facing the slightest possibility of consequence for a tiny fraction of his crimes because he engaged in honest to god high treason. Nothing against ugly dudes. You’re cool.
*kind of
True enough. Say what you will about the 'loompas, they lift.
Here’s hoping this is the last time in my life I have to gaze upon this grotesque misshapen oompa loompa.
