Photographers Lee Miller & David Scherman in Hitler’s bathtub, 1945. While there, they heard Hitler was dead. They'd come straight from Dachau. They washed its dirt off in his bath.

"He'd been an evil-machine-monster all these years until I ate and slept in his house. He became less fabulous and therefore more terrible."

I saw these photos recently and thought: will a similar photo be taken one day, in a gold bathtub? Then I thought: imagine that I can even imagine that.

2026-01-18T14:41:43Z

The #MagicInTheMundane tag has reminded me of the time I'd just finished a book and was looking at the shelves, wondering what to read next. Suddenly the setting sun turned vivid orange and hit one section, as if it had poured through the narrow passage of a megalithic chamber to show me what to pick. The effect lasted bare seconds. Just long enough for me to snap a photo and to choose the Tore Renberg novel it shone upon. Because obviously I was not going to defy the gods.

Between that and #SilentSunday and #TinyBalancingSheep, we may yet get through another day of world events without losing our minds.

’Denmark Switches.’ A national campaign to collectively move off Big Tech. March 20th is Big Switch Day. I’ve named my goal now. I’m already almost deMicrosofted, except for my photo archive. I moved to Libre & Tuta mail and have been purging photos as I await the release of Tuta drive. Now I’m committing myself to just get the photos off OneDrive and on to my computer, that I own, in my house, by March 20th. Then I’ll delete Microsoft. Then I’ll boast about it on the Fediverse.

And yet here we are, still at the beginning. Oh well. Glædelig mandag. Here’s a postcard from #Aarhus, just to wish you a good week with at least a little bit of twinkle in it.

I think I will keep the Literature Clock open on my screen whenever I read the news. It’s like having somebody hum a soothing melody to me as I doomscroll. If you don’t already know it: it’s a real-time clock created by Johannes Enevoldsen at Aarhus University using crowdsourced literary excerpts. Each minute displays a quote from a book that mentions the corresponding time of day.

Strangers, purportedly men, sending a private message that just says 'do you mind if I ask you something?' or 'can I ask you a question?' Is this some new scam? I’ve just blocked my third in two days. I blocked them quicker than a reply guy on a 5000-character instance who lectured me about Linux, so I didn’t notice if the messages were all from the same server. The wording was similar but the profiles were different. Strange scam, if it is one. There were no dodgy links.

An Amazon AI chatbot that sums up the book you are reading while you are reading it. While trampling over the writer’s rights.

“Ask This Book."

Enshittification is too polite a word for all this.

Someone used ChatGPT to generate a reply to me. I think GAI is unethical. I don’t use it. I don’t want anyone to use it for me. You can smoke outside, but please don't smoke in my home.

I replied: ‘Please do not use ChatGPT to get information for a conversation with me. It's an individual choice for you to use it, but I do not.’

They (a mutual) promptly blocked me. Ok. I sounded so pompous, I'd probably block me too. Suggestions for a nice way to ask people not to use GAI on behalf of others?

We need the opposite of a siesta for Northern latitudes in Winter. A go-esta. A few hours off in the middle of the workday when you go outside and do stuff in daylight. Because we go to work in the dark and come home in the dark 5 days a week. Saturday, we rush around doing stuff that needs to done in daylight. Sunday, you want to recharge. To read. To scroll. To nap. To relax indoors. But there's a few hours of sunshine so you feel obliged to go outside, dammit, before the next 5 dark days hit.

Digital coercion bothers me greatly. I avoid apps. I have a travel card & code generator. It bothers me that they nudge everyone towards the 2FA app and ticketing app. They don’t advertise the non-app solutions loudly. We shouldn’t do their work for them, telling each other that the non-app alternatives don’t exist. Then people will get the app, thinking they’ve no alternative, which makes it look like fewer people want non-app solutions, which makes it easier to justify downgrading them.

This is a Kodeviser. A code generator for the Danish 2FA system. It is free. You activate it on a website. You do not need an app or smartphone to access digital services in Denmark.

This is a Rejsekort. You tap it to pay on buses & trains. The new ticket system will include a card. You do not need an app or smartphone to travel on Danish public transport.

I keep seeing a viral toot that says you’re excluded from 2FA & public transport in Denmark if you have no app or phone. This is not true.

I have three Fedi-crushes and, by chance, each of them is in a different timezone. This means that one of them will be always be posting in my morning, afternoon and night. Unbeknownst to them, they're doing shift work. They should really unionise.

I hope everyone had a nice weekend, but especially the anonymous nice people who have been leaving buckets of apples from their garden on the street for any passer-by to share.

The word 'Vrede' jumped out at me from this 'Peace' installation. 'Vrede' is Danish for anger, fury, wrath. I wondered if it was an artistic provocation. But it seemed too confined to chance, that someone who happens to understand Danish happens to see this German artwork. So I looked it up and learned that 'vrede' is Dutch for 'peace'.

Vrede. Peace in Dutch. Wrath in Danish. I wonder if there's a word for words like these, that mean the opposite in different languages.

And suddenly it was Monday again. Again again again. Glædelig mandag. Here's a postcard from #Aarhus, just to send you good wishes for a good week.

The freedom of bikes. Hearing or seeing something in the first place, then being able to stop on impulse to take it in.

Terrific sight and sound. Thanks for sharing.

‘People on the road’

This road sign has it the right way around. People first, also literally. Cars aren’t banned. There’s just a 20 kph speed limit & drivers are clearly told that they are sharing the street space with pedestrians & cyclists who are no longer pushed off to the side. We normalised car-centric cities for so long that this excellent sign seems radical.

Edit: It's a shared street but the plain-speaking sign is temporary. My wishful thinking! Thanks @dans

I saw an interesting cabbagey-looking plant in a community flowerbed near the side of the road so I hopped off my bike and went over for a look. Close up, it was an even nicer shape and an elegant colour and it had raindrops on it. I thought it was nice so now I am sharing it and you don't even have to get off your bike to see it.

I was mesmerised by some of the paintings in the exhibition 'The many voices of modernism' at AROS Art Museum. Even the ones I thought I knew already struck differently in real life. So I visited it a few times and dropped by again today, the closing day of the exhibition, for a last look. Which reminded me that one of the best gifts you can give yourself or someone else (if you can) is an annual pass to a museum. They're wild good value - 1 year of experiences for the price of 2 normal visits.

A lovely annual tradition. The Smag På Aarhus ('Taste Aarhus') campaign that literally signposts wild edibles around the city and invites us to pluck away.

Apple trees as height chart. We’ve reached the point of the city’s harvesting campaign where only the tallest people can reach the remaining apples on public trees.
