American living in Sweden.

Cis He/Him
Murphy is shot in palm of his hand (stigmata). Dies and is reborn as Robocop. Robocop walks on water in the final act and is also speared in the ribs; just like Christ was while on the cross.

It’s not a stretch to say Robocop is American Jesus.
While I'm here: Paul Verhoeven's 1987 film RoboCop is a Christmas movie.
It wouldn't be entirely out of the question to interpret RoboCop as a western through the lens of Reagan-era austerity policy (and the Cold War-era containment policy that largely preceded it).

We even see the culmination of Nancy Reagan's life work through the course of the series.

This is starting to make the rounds, but I checked Andrew Tate’s feed and replies on X and did not see the post shown. There’s a high probability it is fake.

There was an hour of sunshine today. I rode my bike in it. My heart is racing just remembering it.

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:

I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care. 

Your health care is still legal and protected. 

I'll always fight for you.

“Less than an hour of sunlight this month”

This is the kind of headline you see in the prologue of a post apocalyptic dystopia movie.

Mörkt i Stockholm i december – så påverkas du
Hittills i december har det inte varit ens en timme sol i Stockholm. Mörkret gör oss tröttare och på sämre humör. Boten är dagsljus, eller att omfamna mörkret.

I took 5 minutes to send this message to the senators from CA

“Do not let this bill pass criminalizing gender affirming care for minors. Do not join the authoritarians in vilifying a minority group in our community.”

I hope they listen.

@schiff.senate.gov
@padilla.senate.gov
US House of Reps has passed a bill to criminalize trans healthcare for people under 18. This bill can be still stopped in the Senate, call/write your senators & ask them to oppose.

Here is the story on the vote. We will have a story on McBride's speech out tomorrow morning.

“Boende i utsatta områden är genomgående mer oroliga.. Det gäller oro för skjutningar och sprängningar, att inte klara sin ekonomi, att inte hitta en bostad, att inte hitta ett jobb eller att bli av med jobbet samt att tvingas flytta från bostaden.
”Sveriges stora integrationsproblem handlar inte om värderingar.”
Huvudproblemet handlar om för svensk politik välkända ämnen som ekonomisk otrygghet, oro för arbetslöshet och rädsla…

Sunrise at 8:30am, sunset at 3:35pm and in between this is the strongest the daylight gets.

The cuteness of 20-something Japanese tourists, roasting marshmallows for their first time in the public square of a thousand year Swedish town, was just too cute.

Joe Abercrombie does some head fakes to try to fool the reader but if you have read his work you won’t be surprised. This read like a D&D campaign, complete with fight scenes that lasted way too long. 7/10 #Books #Spoilers

“DayQuil + Espresso to grind through a work day while still sick” is a combo I haven’t had to use in a while.

The reason is 7 parts moving out of the US to a country with public health care & 4 parts quitting a freelance career for a salaried office job.

This book I’m reading came to its fake ending at page 482. I know it’s a fake ending because the book is 700 pages long, but the author is dragging out this fake conclusion over 90 pages. Just get to the twist already!

4th December: The Battle of Lund, the bloodiest battle in Nordic history, fought between Swedish and Danish forces on the plains outside Lund in Skåne, took place today in 1676. It was part of the War of Skåne, fought mainly in the province between Sweden and Denmark-Norway.
