Excited for #icelandnoir. Second year attending. Iceland crime fiction was my entry into Icelandic literature. Starting with Yrsa Sigurðardóttir (the first Freyja and Huldar to be precise), then reading Arnaldur and Ragnar and from there to newer (to me) writers in the same genre.
But, more…

Legal claim against OpenAI for direct copyright infringement for ChatGPT's summary of works of fiction, as well as generating of outlines for potential sequels to such works, survives a motion to dismiss. No analysis of Fair Use at this point, since that defense isn't at issue. #copyright #ai

In furtherance of my goal of eating healthy and not eating out as often for lunch, I’ve made salmon fillets in the air fryer, and am now making roast vegetables, quinoa, and baba ghanoush. Should be good for a few days of lunch!

Took this video on the drive from Akureyri to Siglufjörður. Great drive and I loved the town. Doubt I’ll make it back there next month but in the spring for sure. #Iceland

Just learned a great idiomatic Icelandic phrase. If everything is in chaos, going haywire, in disarray etc, you can say everything is on its hind legs (allt á afturfótunum). That made me laugh.

RIP, Tomas Lindberg. The At the Gates album "Slaughter of the Soul" is legendary and hugely influential. I last saw At the Gates at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, where you could either be down on the floor or sit in the loge section where people would serve you wine during the show. #Metal
