For VidUKon's GPOY (here something like "show us a vid that is very you") Premiere, I vidded a city:

Kyoto.

The city of my memories, and the city (real and imagined) as it has been portrayed by animators across 22 different sources from various genres.

Fun fact: if you say "yeah-vlah" instead you've just cursed in Swedish!
Just for clarification, when you talk about it:

Gävle is pronounced "Yeah-vleh", not gav-la, gev-lee or gea-vley.

I love practical effects SO MUCH yes blow up a whole entire car! Let me see it flip over from all the angles! Set that REAL FIRE I can practically feel the heat from! It always looks so much better than CGI (and let's not even talk about AI). #TaxiDriver2

The murder of Swedish PM Olof Palme I think? And then Chernobyl happened shortly after, so that was an interesting spring to be 5 going on 6.

Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

Taking that course on contemporary Korean society was worth it for many reasons, but a big one is that the assigned reading & lecture on modernity and religion FINALLY helped me get an idea of what's going on in stuff like these episodes. Korean shamanism is absolutely fascinating to learn about!
#TaxiDriver2 7&8: YES get that terrible man and free those people! But also: for some reason the costumes this time made me laugh extra hard? All the boys got to dress-up! And S2 Go Eun can really kick ass! You go protect other girls!! The little moment when KDG gives her the 🍀 was so sweet, too.

I got my Pass with Distinction AND I got some really good feedback on things to improve for my final paper, so I am a very happy student right now. 🌟 Ahhh learning is so much fun, and this was a brilliant challenge!
We're getting our seminar paper grades today and I am of course being completely normal about waiting for the notification and will not be at ALL crushed if I only get a pass... (There's Fail, Pass and Pass with Distinction).
I've turned it in! And at 963 words, too! (We were very much not allowed to go over 1000.) It's been a couple of decades since I had to do proper academic writing, and it was a really fun exercise, but yeah, that hard 1k limit really got in the way. So many arguments I didn't get to make!

Skuld is rudely accusing me of OVERTHINKING my 1000 word essay that I have been working on all day and am only halfway through. I have no idea what he could possibly mean! I am getting graded on this okay!! (The grades mean literally nothing; I am an adult studying a free* course for fun. AND YET.)

Rewatch makes me love Kim Do Gi's little pink bonnet EVEN MORE help it's so funny and he's having so much fun with the gang...!
#TaxiDriver2 4: Finally EVERYONE gets to play dress-up, and Kim Do Gi wears increasingly amazing farm hats!

This was a very silly episode and I was incredibly tickled by the whole thing. Just, again: the plan didn't have to include so much chaos, but it did! As far as I can tell, for the lulz.

I've seen lots of people on here getting very excited for Wong Kar-wai's new TV show, without realizing that there is a massive scandal surrounding it in China. Fortunately there's now some English language reporting on the subject: www.whatsonweibo.com/the-wong-kar...
The Wong Kar-wai Scandal Explained: The Dark Side of ‘Blossoms Shanghai’
Whenever reports surfaced about the harsh conditions on Wong Kar-wai’s sets, mainstream media and fans often brushed off his tyrannical habits as the quirks of a genius. This time, it feels different.

tech bro: i have made Artificial General Intelligence

programmer: you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety
I’ve been running around asking tech execs and academics if language was the same as intelligence for over a year now - and, well, it isn’t. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social explains how the bubble is built on ignoring cutting-edge research into the science of thought www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Going slightly feral every time Kim Do Gi's energy shifts from soft-spoken introvert to apex predator. The way Lee Je Hoon MOVES...!! 🔥🔥🔥

I also really appreciate how he sometimes lets his inner chaos gremlin shine through in a little grin, despite his generally reserved manner.

Feeling TERRIFIED of making plans because 2025 had...a lot of surprises...? But also: I am so eager to travel further away from home than we can drive. I haven't been on a plane since 2019! Can 2026 be the year I leave this continent again? I would like that. (But again: lol, plans, how cute.)

We report when the dawn chorus is at its loudest, even over the morning traffic. All edges of the world are still blurry, whether it is from our sleep-filled eyes, or the simple fact of the dim light. It is chilly, and we are not all the way present, but we feel a little warm.

Have watched 21 eps of Joy of Life S2, and I am loving it! S1 wasn't always my cup of tea, but the tighter focus on Plots and Scheming now is like catnip to me. Fascinating characters - especially the Emperor, because I never have ANY idea what he's thinking, or even what his motivation is. #JoLS2

I grew up in a good but weird environment (think commune but Lutheran?), and did not know how people got jobs. It took a course at Folkuniversitetet to realize 1) librarian is a job and 2) *I* could get that job! I was 23. Enrolled in a LIS at 24. Got a librarian job at 37, after many sidetracks!
