A brown bear cub reaching for its mom

Here is my most favourite photo of 2025. I’ve come to describe my images as capturing the moments between the moments. This image a pause in play, a small paw reaching up, tiny claws extended is absolute trust.
I find these moments tell the story best.

Auto-translation of news site: Storm Johannes overturned the Gävle goat. The Gävle goat has once again met an unfortunate fate.

A very fat Christmas tree

It is again time to post the real tree my dad put up in the late 80s

The History of Exploding Whales Is the History of the Internet Itself My first whale video came in the form of a VHS tape mailed to me by a stranger from the internet.

55 years ago today was an infamous attempt to blow up a beached whale.

Please enjoy this piece about it by Andrew Thaler, which remains one of my favorite pieces of writing about science communication.

Það er líka miklu dramatískara að festa hárið í vatnsafltúrbínu en einhverjum nuddstút.

Lyklakippa. Yfirstrikuð kind.

Lyklakippa. A henni stendur 'No Sheep'

Ókindar lyklakippa.

And pox on the not-sheep

Well kind of.

We had a sheep like that when I was a kid. The most stubborn, greedy, prone to violence (towards my poor dog mostly) and the funniest ókind you could find.

In Icelandic we have 'Ókind' for monster. But the translation is un-sheep. So everything not a sheep is dangerous.

Utopia. Ástralskur þáttur um ríkisbatterí sem sér ym stórframkvæmdir.

Jæja. Hvernig ætli helvítis moskítóunum gangi í þessu fannfergi? Þær eru svona týpur sem eru á vanbúnum bílum.

lol what the wealthy today don't seem to understand is part of staying wealthy in society is not pissing off the masses.

There's a reason why Carnegie and the Rockefellers poured money into institutions. Gutting institutions and making it harder for the masses to survive is a...choice.

Var þessum dómi fullnægt? Útvistuðum við ekki flestu svona til Danmerkur?

Eg myndi láta endurraða innyflunum í mér eftir Feng-Shui. Ég þyrfti þá alltaf að vísa í norður en lífsgæðin myndu snarbatna.

Afhverju er ekki búið að gera þætti um Henry Slater?

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

Ljónið, Nornin og Skódinn.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wartburg.

Er ekki einhver á Íslandi sem rannsakar hafís?

Úff hvað þetta er kúl.

Hér er kanínuhola sem hægt er að týna sér rækilega oní.

Þetta yrði svo skrýtin tímalína. Gamla 88 að skjóta niður rússnesk flygildi í Úkraínu.

I can't help but notice one of them said this was their Reichstag fire like it was a good thing. Is he using a different history book?

Ég held að miðað við hvernig kommentakerfin hljóma að við getum svarað spurningunni: Er bakslag í réttindabaráttu samkynhneigðra? með nokkuð þéttu Já. Verst er að það er gaur fæddur '97 sem leiðir strolluna.

Jú jú. Eg man hinsvegar ekki hvort þetta hafi verið mikið notað. Hvorki klæðnaðurinn eða orðið.
