"Albertus would go on to become the most famous late medieval painter in Sweden, and arguably his most famous piece is his fresco of ‘Death Playing Chess with a Knight’ in the Täby Church in Uppland ... This work would lend inspiration to Ingmar Bergman’s film The Seventh Seal."

Markedly stronger language now from the Swedish PM on Greenland.

"We will not let ourselves be blackmailed. ... Sweden is now having intensive discussions with other EU countries, Norway, and the UK for a joint response."
(English below) "Vi låter oss inte utpressas. Bara Danmark och Grönland bestämmer i frågor som rör Danmark och Grönland. Jag kommer alltid stå upp för mitt land, och för våra allierade grannar. Detta är en EU-fråga som rör många fler länder än de som nu pekas ut. Sverige har nu intensiva diskussioner med andra EU-länder, Norge och Storbritannien för ett samlat svar." "We will not let ourselves be blackmailed. Only Denmark and Greenland decide on issues concerning Denmark and Greenland. I will always stand up for my country, and for our allied neighbors. This is an EU issue that concerns many more countries than those now being singled out. Sweden is now having intensive discussions with other EU countries, Norway and the UK for a joint response."

I love poppies – and this is the first time I’ve ever found red poppy soap!
Red poppy soap sits on a marble-top nightstand, which also displays a postcard with poppies, a tin box decorated with a rose, and a sleep mask.

At least Goebbels was embarrassed when he was given Knut Hamsun's Nobel Prize!

www.berlingske.dk/internationa...
This is about the time when, in 1943, the author Knut Hamsun presented his own Nobel Prize in Literature, which he received in 1920 for the novel "Growth of the Field", to Joseph Goebbels. Weekendavisen writes that Goebbels, according to his diary, seemed embarrassed by the gift. Hitler's propaganda minister chose to keep it a secret for fear that it would damage both Hamsun's and the Nazis' reputation in occupied Norway.

From the press conference:
"We agree that we disagree"

www.dn.se/direkt/2026-...
– The president has made his position clear, and we have a different position. We continue to have fundamental disagreements and we will continue the talks, says Løkke Rasmussen. At the meeting, they agreed to form a working group to discuss the issue further within a few weeks. – It has been a remarkable meeting with the Americans, says the Foreign Minister. The goal is for the parties to find ways to come together around their differences. – We agree that we disagree, says Løkke Rasmussen.

Olika delar av universitetet drar dock åt helt olika håll.

Samtidigt som många ser risker och problem så är andra delar redan inne på att utveckla avatarer som kan fungera som extra lärare och göra föreläsningarna åt oss – på vilket språk som helst.

medarbetare.su.se/vart-su/meda...
"Nu kommer första AI-föreläsaren Fredrik Blix, universitetslektor vid Institutionen för data- och systemvetenskap, spelar in alla sina föreläsningar och tränar en AI-driven avatar på materialet. Så småningom ska avatar-Fredrik kunna fungera som en extra lärare."

Open letter by the American Philosophical Association:

"Trans members of this profession have been rapidly losing their freedoms and protections, both as scholars and as human beings (...) scholarship on the philosophy of sex and gender, especially trans philosophy, has come under attack directly."
The board encourages all APA members, and all members of the philosophy profession, to read the open letter and stand with the APA in condemning attacks on the academic and personal freedoms of LGBTQ+ scholar and in supporting trans philosophers so that they may continue their professional lives as valued members of our discipline.

Ja, precis. Det är Faraglioni-klipporna man ser i videon, det sägs vara platsen där sirenerna försökte locka Odysseus och andra sjömän med sin sång. Samma klippor på bilden i bakgrunden här. Jag var där i våras, otroligt vackert.

Ur Sara Stridsbergs essä igår
”Så länge människor är fångna i vaneseendet så ser de hela tiden det andra har sagt åt dem att se, i stället för att se själva. Nästan alla orättvisor i världen runt omkring oss har sin rot i detta förrädiska vaneseende. Därför, när jag skriver så försöker jag se det jag ser, hur livet ter sig för mig och på så sätt vill jag ge andra människor mod att se klarare på sina liv, så att de kanske får styrka och mod att ändra saker, att hävda sig, utan att snegla åt höger och vänster: att hävda sin särart och sitt unika sätt att vara.” (Ur ett samtal i tidskriften 80-tal.)

Eugène Jansson, Staden i solnedgång (The city at sunset, 1897).
A soft, impressionistic winter landscape painting showing a distant city bathed in pale pink and golden light. The foreground features a snow-covered embankment leading down to a frozen body of water with faint tracks across the ice. In the distance, warm-toned buildings. Above, a sky filled with swirling pastel clouds.

For years, Salem in Sweden saw yearly Nazi marches, until they stopped in 2010. This year, they returned.

But so did resistance: two brave locals holding a sign that says “Salem against Nazis."

"This makes America sicker."

And this is the same Cassidy who cast the deciding vote that confirmed RFK.

“As a liver doctor who has treated patients with hepatitis B for decades, this change to the vaccine schedule is a mistake,” Cassidy, a Republican from Louisiana, posted on the social media platform X. “The hepatitis B vaccine is safe and effective. The birth dose is a recommendation, NOT a mandate. Before the birth dose was recommended, 20,000 newborns a year were infected with hepatitis B. Now, it’s fewer than 20,” noted Cassidy.

I really enjoyed the exhibit "When We See Us: A Century of Black Figuration in Painting" at Liljevalchs in Stockholm. It's organized around six themes: The Everyday, Joy and Revelry, Repose, Sensuality, Spirituality, and Triumph and Emancipation.

Took the boat there – nice way to spend a Sunday!
