Warriors vs. Soldiers
There’s been a lot of speak of warriors from the current US government. This isn’t new. A senator (Tom Cotton) even called us Finns a ‘warrior race’ when the discussions over our NATO membership were going on. It might work as a form of propaganda, but the thing is that they don’t exactly treat their soldiers like they warriors.
Writing with the Help of Large-Language Models
I went to see an exhibition today. The theme was technology’s affect on people. Of course, the times being what they are, there was a lot of allusions to AIs. Well, that’s just myopic. I’m 48. That’s old for much of the history of humanity. That is enabled by technology. I can see, because I have glasses. That’s enabled by technology. I’m overweight, because technology allows us to have such an easy access to food.
Will AI have such a profound affect on humanity? Maybe some day, but it isn’t now.
Pitchfork goes subscription model, I go elsewhere

The Mandatory Performative Pride Month Post, 2025 Edition – Everyone Was Queer in Greek Mythology
These are the ones I found easily, but this is just a very surface-level look at the topic. This was partly inspired by Hades 2, which I’ve been playing quite a bit lately, and it’s predecessor.
The Mandatory Performative Pride Month Post, 2025 Edition – My Head Canon of Fever Ray’s First Three Albums
Here we go again: I am boringly cis and straight white male, so I always need to be careful about what I say, because I am naturally going to be ignorant of many things, because I don’t have to experience them myself. I am in many ways shielded from the world. This is just part of my learning process and I hope people can be patient with me.
While my last post was just me thinking out aloud, I think this is more celebratory and thus more in the spirit of Pride.
Who is Fever Ray anyhow?
