Help
My son just ran into the room, yelling:
"Mummy!!! The past is coming back to haunt you!"
Before running back out of the room.
That's right, my son is a harbinger of Doom, apparently.
Whats making you happy right now

Considering the depressing nature of the data, this could just as easily go into the Groove thread - but, because of potential positive changes on the horizon, and well, SCIENCE!, it's going in here:
Machine Learning and Gender Equality in Films
While it doesn't address, for obvious reasons, the potential causes of the data, or its effects, it does provide a truckload of incontrovertible data on representation.

I've been blocked by so many people on twitter tonight. XD
Apparently, Zach McGowan's fans don't like it when you call him out for whitewashing.

My son came into the Delivery Room and said (non-verbally
), "The past is coming back to haunt you!"Yep. Nine months past...

Day off. So dropped the kids off at preschool club as I usually do when I'm at work, and headed into town.
Just having a coffee now while I decide what to do with the day. And hoping that the temp my boy had last night doesnt result in a call from school just as I've decided on something.
Also, finally reading some Neil Gaiman is making me happy. I can't believe I haven't read any of his stuff before. Just finished American Gods, now into Anansi Boys.

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

Owl is now getting medical care. I wasn't going to risk putting my phone any closer to get a better pick because I didn't want it to panic in the cage and break it's wings. It's eyes were locked on to me any time I made eye contact from various positions. So what appears to have happened was someone had their line snap after getting tangled up in branches and couldn't retrieve the lure(a nice one so it probably wasn't just discarded). The owl became interested and swooped on it hitting it just right the hook set in completely straight through one side of its leg and out the other side. It was really swollen. Glad we could help it.
Even better news the little boy has survived surgery and pics of him giving the rock n roll hand sign have gone on social media. Nothing about the investigation had been released yet but the tyke living is welcome news for me and will go a long way to help heal the mental damage the accidental shooter will go through.

Sounds like two silver linings. Good stuff!

There has finally been an announcement from Carlos Ruiz Zafon about the fourth Cemetery of Forgotten Books novel The Labyrinth of the Spirits will be translated and released in 2018. This makes me stupidly happy. It just might be time for a reread of the first three.

Oldest boy is still sleeping, so only my youngest is awake. It is so much easier with just one to focus on, no competition for attention, no squabbles.

I'm taking the next two days off, and it's finally like summer here in Oslo. By Norwegian standards at any rate.
So I'll be lounging on my new balcony with beer in an ice bucket and a pile of books
