<p>I'm a middle-aged single dad living on the Atherton Tablelands, Australia. I work in Aged Care. Hobbies include tabletop roleplaying games, casual computer gaming, and short hikes. Take it as read that I believe in all the usual left-wing, egalitarian stuff, but I rarely post about any of it.</p>

One of my clients is 100 years old. If you met her, you&#39;d probably guess she&#39;s about 80. It&#39;s remarkable.

In a few of the sagas about the settling of Iceland, there is a mention of throwing high-seat poles overboard, and claiming the land where they wash ashore. It&#39;s a will of the gods type thing. I&#39;m going to assume it never actually happened, as fun as it is to imagine a bunch of cold and tired vikings searching hundreds of kilometers of coastline for where the pillars washed up, if they didn&#39;t just float out to sea. But there is another suggestion. The settlers would hav...

Something to consider. You know how people say that Nordic socialism only works because they&#39;re monolithic cultures? a) they&#39;re not really, except maaaybe Iceland b) I strongly suspect that&#39;s just coded talk for saying everything would be great without the dark people

I don&#39;t normally accept gifts from clients, but I was forced to take some homemade pizzas from a tiny Italian nonna. I imagine the whole family will refuse to touch Domino&#39;s after this.

Heh, in this comic, Captain America is raiding Helsingborgs slott. Or at least, the much more fairytale-ish comics version. Red Skull and his Nazis lived there, it seems. Then they smashed it up. #comics #Sweden

I just watched Fight Club for the first time since it came out. Great movie. But sad that a lot of people watched it and the message they took home was &quot;fight clubs are cool&quot;.

I&#39;m playing #Valheim, musing on how cozy the early game is, and how unrelentingly brutal it becomes by late game. I currently have a relay of portals, after going through five ships and about three hours of real time trying to retrieve some equipment, and dying many more times along the way. I do this for fun ...

I like to find the original songs that more famous songs sample. Often they are better than the sampling tune. This one isn&#39;t really to my taste, but it kind of shows how lazy Moby was (though I like his song). https://youtu.be/rS-tm788tok?si=cND2sjDrBNOtd1zn

In the 1930s, the British Interplanetary Society developed the world&#39;s first space suit. This is a replica of what would have been a functional suit (as best the science of the day could predict), not a fanciful costume. People, we could have had moon knights.
