I feel like there are an increasing number of “it’ll get much worse before it gets better” timelines where trump dies of old age and Elon Musk ends up on trial in The Hague. That might just be idiotic optimism on my part though.

I have watched this video at least 50 times over the last 15 years and it’s still just as amazing the first time. Do yourself a favor and watch Hurra Torpedo play the best ever rendition of Total Eclipse of he Heart on a single guitar and a pole of kitchen appliances. youtu.be/ysUjYAi0WcQ?...

I found this ad gross in more than one way. (That’s about $17.50 fyi)

The elevator from the parking deck at my hotel in Aarhus is themed like a pay phone. Though an MRI might have been more accurate. Denmark is incredibly progressive but also has some of the least handicap accessible locations I’ve ever been. A lot of it is justifiable because of old buildings.

It’s astonishing how much this killer feels like a real horse. You hardly even notice it has 8 legs. youtube.com/shorts/uGhDU...

Just watched this great doc about the team behind LIGO and their discovery of gravitational waves colliding black holes, etc. It’s amazing. It shows just how brilliant and dedicated and human the people behind this wonder are. It’s well worth your time. #ligo #physics youtu.be/jWkWD1MBXKU?...

One result of Amazon not being present in Denmark is that they still have very nice, very busy, department stores. I walked into this place and it looked gorgeous. I definitely want to check out the roof garden with that walkway. #arhus #dk

I rented a car for the weekend and am taking a road trip to Aarhus. Stopped at a travel center. It cost a dollar to use the bathroom. I feel like there would get destroyed in the US.

Literally the first thing I saw on Blue Sky after posting the picket pointer was this ring debarker, so if course I had to share that too.

This Picket Pointer is a very satisfying and beautiful machine for making picket fences pointy. He explains why picket fences are shaped like that. I’d never thought about why they are shaped like that. Apparently it’s all about keeping the end grain of the wood dry. youtube.com/shorts/IwGrm...

TIL that Denmark has a children’s show called John Dillerman about a guy with the with the world longest penis and all of the trouble it gets him into, and out of. To be clear, not sexual at all. It looks pretty fun. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Ymn17w/

Sure, things may seem pretty bleak right now but at least you now know how to survive a suspiciously even, bowl shaped, ice pit, should you encounter one during your flight to Canada during literacy purges next year. #brightside youtube.com/shorts/h5DiW...

I knew all of this before watching this video, but watching @hankgreen.bsky.social being excited is so compelling that I watched it both on TT and YT. It’s fantastic. Unless you are a serious astronomy nerd you will absolutely learn fascinating things watching this video youtu.be/grdu6UBK76w?...

I went to a really excellent French restaurant in Vesterbro for lunch last week and was a bit shocked by the bathroom layout. You can see it's pretty fancy, it has cloth wash towels to dry your hands. However I do not understand why there are two toilets. Both fully functional. #copenhagen

This video by Dr. Kirsten Banks give an amazing overview of several recent discoveries made using JWST. She does a great job of conveying what an incredibly exciting time we live in with regards to astrophysics and astronomy.(I‘d @ her but she doesn’t seem to be on BSky yet) youtu.be/I6NY8TSv5uM?...

I keep thinking about what happens when the rest of the world decides the US is too volatile and finally switches to the Euro or something else as their main reserve currency. Just like that the greatest cheat code in the history of finance goes poof.

Sometime, when browsing the internet, you discover a whole new genre of weird that is only possible because, with ai; all it takes is a crazy person and a dream. I am totally here for it. It’s like if one person could make Wonder Showzen or TV Funhouse. youtu.be/1wS5r9SNFfk?...

Went to Freetown Christiania today. It is/was a semi-autonomous zone. A little like Hamsterdam from the Wire. But a lot more hippy and commune a lot less violent. There is a place called pusher street where the drug dealers set up. There is an ice skating rink there called Pusherstreet on Ice

The Copenhagen Lights Festival tour was a little chaotic but fun. It is day 2 of 28 so I think the guides will get the hang of it. Still totally worth it tho. copenhagenlightfestival.org/en/
