All things me.

At the risk of coming off as a bit of an a**, why are there so many ”TENET explained” videos?

Yes, I get that the YouTube algorithm is showing them to me because after watching the movie last night, I watched two of Darren Mooney’s video essays about it. That’s not my question. The question is why they exist in the first place? This is not an ”unsolvable art film” or something like that. Pay attention as you’re watching, turn on subtitles if you need to, and actually use that thing inside your head. It’a quite straightforward.

Or, if you don’t want to actually pay attention to the media you are watching, stick to MCU movies.

Ett meddelande från det förflutna. I oktober 2025 lovade Liberalerna att rösta nej till en regering 2026 där Sverigedemokraterna ingår. Samtidigt lovar Sverigedemokraterna att rösta nej till en borgerlig regering där de själva inte ingår. Det innebär en stor risk för att antingen L eller SD har visat sig vara lögnare (även i den här specifika frågan också) när det här publiceras. Den som lever när det publiceras får se.

I just watched ”Tenet” for the first time. Wow! Simply, wow.

Finally, it’s me, the Kindle, and Clear and Present Danger. I don’t think I’ve ever read a single book during so many years as this one.

Following it up with a Vodka Sun. Seems to be a Vodka Sunrise with less effort put into the color-gradient, and a Vodka Sunrise is a Tequila Sunrise with vodka instead of tequila.

First cocktail of the day, a Sex on the Beach. Probably the first time I try one of those. A bit too sweet and artificial for my taste. Probably the peach schnapps.

I get so tired with the constant hoops that I need to jump through to easily post something to this blog from iOS.

Det här är ett meddelande från det förflutna. Nu är valet här. Har Hatt stått fast vid sitt löfte?

Men en sak är säker, vi kommer inte att ingå i en regering där SD ingår. Vi kommer inte heller att stötta en sådan regering och bidra till att den kommer till stånd, säger Hatt.

I tend to forget how much Use Your Illusion I sags in the middle. At their worst, Guns N’ Roses are just a more distorted version of The Rolling Stones, with a lot less swagger.

I started reading an actual, physical book today. ”Att skriva”, the Swedish translation of Stephen King’s ”On Writing”. I also keep listening to ”Count Zero”.

I’m thinking about Bobby Newmark’s mother, filling her mind with the life of others trough ”sim stim”. I’m thinking about myself, almost always with AirPods in listening to podcasts and audiobook, filling my mind with the life of others. I’m thinking about these thoughts, about blogging them. About how the very structure and rhythm of the sentences are influenced by whatever I’m currently mainlining into my brain.

I’m hearing these very words narrated in my head in Jonathan Davis1’ voice.
