Feeling a few names short today....

Funny reading news about difficulties in the whiskey industry. Or maybe you guys have an issue because peeps like me used to pay $100 for a bottle of their favourite whiskey once every few years. And now it costs over $300 and I am never doing it again at this price 🤡. www.svd.se/a/2pjo7l/den...

I was going to add the most popular post on the subject but the one above does have an earlier date. Such a correct sentiment, unfortunately.

This is just sad.

Sveriges Radio news that book import from outside EU is now subject to customs fees.

I still get surprised sometimes how nobody ever thinks of twins when they do things like surveys or when board games say that the youngest person should start.... Yes. You'd like to survey my 15 year old, but which one? Do I flip a coin and pick at random? 🤦🏻‍♀️

This is why I quit after a year or so. Because it became clear they didn't understand what it takes to make an operational factory for batteries - for example, at an earlier point, most material acquisition negotiations were done primarily by one intern. kollega.se/arbetsmarkna...

With Blodomloppet in Stockholm this week, I urge you all to make blood donations if you can, wherever you are. I won't be able to run this year, sadly but as a one time blood receiver, please consider donating blood or at least learning more about this.

Millesgården, today. A very tall bird bath.

Many nice tulips blooming at Bergianska right now. Stockholmians, take note.

Finland reclassified the Hantavirus.

Finland klassar andesvirus som allmänfarlig sjukdom
Efter utbrottet av andevirus på kryssningsfartyget mv Hondius har Finlands regering beslutat att sjukdomen ska klassas som allmänfarlig smittsam, skriver Hufvudstadsbladet.

Det innebär att personer som exponerats kan försättas i karantän och få ersättning om de tvingas vara borta från sitt arbetet.

Andesvirus har lång inkubationstid och Världshälsoorganisationen (WHO) och Europeiska centret för förebyggande och kontroll av sjukdomar (ECDC) rekommenderar en karantän på 42 dygn efter exponering. Andesvirus är en variant av hantavirus.

Hittills har tre personar har avlidit och minst sju bekräftats smittade av passagerarna på fartyget.

Gosh. Would be nice if Folkhälsomyndigheten would buy enough vaccine and make it broadly available in Sweden...

Yeeeew

Having twins was fun 🫡. Not. No inheriting clothes, more money for pram, baby car seats, and föräldrapenning is not doubled at all (even though taking care of two babies felt >X2 one). Being in the tech industry, we were lucky to be able tp afford it, but this can't be easy for most.

The numbers are not abstract. CalPERS — the retirement fund for California’s public employees — lost roughly $15 billion in two days after the April 2 tariff announcement. Those weren’t theoretical dollars. Those were police officers’ pensions. Teachers’ pensions. Nurses’ pensions. When twenty-five top state and local pension funds collectively lost $169 billion in under a week, those were people’s retirements. I’ve had retirees tell me they watched twenty years of careful saving blink away in a morning. And while they were watching, somebody on the other side of the country was opening a new yacht listing in their browser.

When $11 trillion in market value evaporates and a handful of anonymous traders mysteriously end the week hundreds of millions of dollars richer, the math is not complicated. That money came from somewhere. It came from us.

When I was at Google, it acquired the viz team from Gapminder (some nice people) and Trendalyzer sodtware but in the end, most of it didn't end up getting actively used, but the engineers stuck around on other projects for a while. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gapmind...

Only me buying textbooks for kids to study for national exams, because the school doesn't have enough textbooks for them to keep, outside the Easter break.

Photo from 8 years ago, visiting important historical and now important contemporary places. Because everything is so stupid.

Discovered that my dad's @wikipedia.org article had most content removed, by some guy noting that description of his research was underreferenced and all info on his PhD students because he wasn't notable enough. His colleagues put actual effort into this but nope.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail...
