I just wanted a #mastodon account where I could toot whatever comes to mind without breaking moderation rules on more streamlined instances.
I'm also @drbjork, @bluebirch, @skalman and (in Swedish) @fenomenologen.
Sitting alone on the wooden deck in front of my far too large house having dinner. The kids are on a holiday trip with their mother.
I'd say my 12y old son is a pretty promising writer, particularly given that English is not his native language.

Which do you prefer: nail polish or the Pythagorean comma?
What? People prefer #Pidgin over #Mastodon because… they're comparable? https://www.slant.co/versus/4381/21509/~pidgin_vs_mastodon

Ding ding. Lunch!
The LATEST ten minutes of my life. Sorry, don't worry, I'm still alive.
The last ten minutes of my life.
I hate #Windows.
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

Me ruining a photo session with @Linuxtjej.
And now the height of the day: the #nap!
Why do I get those fantasies about jumping over that parapet and fall six stories down? No wonder I'm scared of heights.
I'm going to take my #melancholy for a walk and buy some #lunch.
"It is a credit to the psychologists of the nineteenth century that they valiantly undertook to apply such methods to psychological phenomena, for only by attempting to develop psychology in such a fashion could the limits of the method be assessed. It is less of a credit to the legions that have dutifully imitated these efforts for the better part of a century."
(D. N. Robinson, An intellectual history of psychology, 1995, p. 332)
"What has been characteristic of experimental psychology is the adoption of a rather prosaic set of experimental “controls” and a repeated-measures paradigm. In a wide variety of settings, this method of procedure has yielded fairly stable functional relationships between dependent and independent variables under conditions generally so unlike the domain of interest as to render generalizations jejune.
#WorldCupSoccer. A sea of 🇸🇪 flags and shirts. Hot as hell. Everyone is cheering.
I'm so sorry, Germany. I'm so sorry.
When I arrived at work this morning I found that I had forgotten my ID card at home. Had to turn back home and fetch it. An extra 9 km on bike this morning.
Every month I'm surprised I have bills to pay.
