Happy New Year for those of you've made it this far. We've just had the clock on Copenhagen City Hall, jumped off a chair (ie. jumped into the new year), and sung along to both of our national anthems. Right now the locals are going absolutely berserk with the fireworks (someone from a party in one ...

IANAL, but as a public person, I'd imagine he'd be facing a steep challenge even before the Tucker Carlson defense (ie. no reasonable person would take anything Carlson says seriously) comes into play.

Just started on "Inside no. 9", a British dark comedy anthology series. They like to play around with the format to say the least, so far I've seen one with no spoken dialogue and one showing four CCTV screens, with all the action taking place within their field of view. And I've been told...

At some level, I'm kind of surprised "One country, two systems" managed to last this long, but on the other hand it is still a dark day for Democracy. Hong Kong is now firmly under the thumb of Beijing

We're having municipal and regional elections today, and since the rules for getting on the ballot are a bit more relaxed, they really do get filled out.

So I finally had the opportunity to meet Carlo, Mille's (my mom's dachshund) BFF. He's three years old and exactly three months older than her

Sergiu Celibidache conducting the Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Ravel's Boléro. The recording focuses entirely on the conductor, showing his gestures and emotions as the music builds.

Of course, as a Lutheran with a decent score, I'd throw John 3:16 at him and scurry away

I see no tiny dog, only a very large pupper

Not sure if there is a more appropriate thread for it, but it involves Michigan GQP'ers gearing up for the next round. Lansing — Republican Party leaders across the battleground state of Michigan have quietly worked in recent weeks to replace incumbent county election officials with newcomers, some ...

My maternal grandmother passed away peacefully this afternoon. She was the last of my grandparents and outlived the previous three by a good 30 years. She hasn't had the easiest life to say the least. She's had abusive partners (my maternal grandfather was extremely domineering, to the point she had...

The two coalitions that are in play, denoted by the party colours, are the "Stoplight coalition" of SPD (Red), FDP (Yellow), and the Greens (well, Green) and the "Jamaica coalition" of CSU/CDU (Black), FDP, and the Greens, either of which will involve some heavy-duty compromises....

DSoSoTX Jose "Joe" Esparza essentially has been acting as the secretary during the vacancy. Thank you for that. I guess Abbott learned a thing from his master: If you can't get someone confirmed (I understand the previous SoS's nomination wasn't taken up by the state senate), just let som...

Lord, please have mercy on the poor children of Florida.

It gets worse, he passed an emergency rule allowing parents to keep their children in school even after they test positive, as long as they're asymptomatic

That's Roskilde, isn't it? I have visited the museum of Viking ships there, the hulks that were sunk in the harbor as a barricade and then recovered by archeologists. Fascinating. But I didn't have time for the cathedral, which is a shame. I'll put it on the list for a future trip to Copenhagen. It...

Glad to hear they can soon commence reconstruction work, now about all those funds that were promised... :batting: The tragedy of the fire at Notre Dame hit fairly close to home, as my home town cathedral suffered a near identical fire in the summer of 1968.
