Yyyeah, I found Discord extremely stressful. Strange, extra-anonymous, alienating, less accountability etc. Rid of it 5 years ago and now being asked to use it for some things, but never will again. I'm sure it has its uses, but for me Reddit or idk even flippin WhatsApp all the way.

Yeah Varoufakis is another that just became excruciatingly annoying.
Idk I do think we actually need public intellectuals from the left. Otherwise the right shout loud in that vacuum. But the current quality is poor, for sure.

I remember my friend group was reflecting a few years back that after Chomsky dies David Graeber will be the most famous anarchist in the world. Instead we lost a really great one, and this pathetic one still lingers. After him I don't even know who can be nominated anymore...

A rather misleading headline as indeed Copenhagen is going even more left, basically! 🥰
"Polling has the Green Left, the Red-Green Alliance and Alternativet in a position to form a left-leaning majority without the support of the Social Democrats."

But truly, for all the appalling weather of Copenhagen and the permanent cloud that takes over for like half of the time, it's an incredibly joyous thing to live in a fundamentally Progressive city. The social fabric of it is just truly left-wing and my god it works so well. 💕

Noorbo Handelen -

I think last year's winner?
I didn't think I'll ever say that a Gløgg is too strong, but here it is! Well spiced, great temperature, but the alcohol takes over slightly too much! I have to brace myself if I'll survive the festival lol. 78 DKK seems decent in this economy?

Linklater, oh 💘

Ah and Copenhagen folk, if you got recommendations for those 8/10+ then do give me a shout! ✨

And today I'm off to Gløgg World Championship here in central Copenhagen ha, so expect more samples! 💚

Ofc I make my own too occasionally, it's very good if I can say so myself. Makes the apartment smell so so good.

Café Oven Vande in Christianshavn -

Lush portion and tasty, thick, great biscuits. The winner for me here is the rosemary - a genuine innovation that infuses the taste in a very subtle, but effective way. At 95 DKK though I still can't in good conscience give it higher than

7/10

Jernbanecafeen in Vesterbro-

The sticker with a recipe - a lovely plus. Nice gingery biscuits, but very much from a packet. The rum aftertaste very cosy, good temperature and strength, mid portion size. 92 DKK though wtf.

6.5/10.

Reffen.

Nice dish and the smell is enticing. Sadly that's where the good stuff ends. Served coldish, no biscuits, almost bitter (?!), very weak. Almonds and raisins straight out of a packet, no rum infusion. Absolutely not worth the 75 DKK.

2/10.

First stop - my beloved Beboerhuset social centre.
Smallish portion, simple receptacle, good strength, temperature. Okay biscuits. 60 DKK is a good price though.

Ah at least Sunak was handsome dk lol. This swapover is even more from slimey to slimier.
