#English word archipelago = Derived from the Italian arcipelago, used as a proper name for the Aegean Sea, itself perhaps a deformation of the Greek Αιγαίον Πέλαγος. Later, usage shifted to refer to the Aegean Islands since the sea has a large number of islands.

Way too complex, detached and weird.

#Swedish word skärgård = Skär (skerry) + gård (yard). Skerry yard.

Much better.

Hejsan, svenska mastodonter!

Every winter, we make glögg from scratch (even to the point that we boil down pompously expensive cab sauv instead of using cheap ass port).

I asked ChatGPT to make make a recipe card for the summer version of glögg.

This is what I got. It sounds good, legit even, but of course I'd like some human input since I've never heard of this particular beverage, and it is most definitely an AI hallucination.

There are obvious text issues, but if it is generally right, I'll make it. If it is generally messed up, let me know.

I prefer to err on the side of supporting the right to protest, and I'm generally consistent. So, I support these protesters' right to protest as they did. But man, that shit is fuuuuucked up, though. 👀

Just because I support your right to protest doesn't mean I think you're a good person. That shit is... really really not ok.

"A pro-#Palestinian #demonstration in the northern #Swedish city of #Umeå has sparked widespread outrage after featuring a controversial display depicting hanged mannequins dressed in striped #concentrationcamp uniforms, complete with yellow stars and prisoner numbers, evoking imagery from the #Holocaust.

The mannequins were suspended from #gallows beneath a banner in Swedish that read: “#Genocide is genocide is genocide.” #Socialmedia images from the #protest also show a figure wearing a keffiyeh holding a baby doll, while Palestinian flags were displayed beside the gallows."

FYI ynet sucks but what'cha gonna do, amirite?
