In Gambämark, they had yaoi featuring Kevin. In Botnia Paradise, they had yaoi featuring Axel. If KAJ write a third musical, Jakob needs a yaoi side plot. this is a priority

Roaring Knight was so hard to beat I got my little brother to come do it and at a certain point we muted the game and started playing other songs because “we just need the right song” in order to win, and I am just jazzed to report that the song that eventually defeated the roaring knight was the Hokey Pokey by the Wiggles

"Seldom have I been as impressed. This man could do it all. He could do cartwheels and frontflips straight off the ground, and moreover, he knew lyrics to a lot of popular songs. I had perhaps headed to the disco hoping to dance with some girl, but that dance would happen another time, because tonight would become the start of the rest of my show- and comedy-filled life. It was, of course, Jakob Norrgård, J in Kaj, who stood and flew there, gel in his hair and a chain on his jeans."

Kevin tells about his love at first sight with first impression of Jakob

The curious case of Bertel's performance of manliness: A rant

The way Bertel performs manhood is almost forced. As seen in his costume design, he has a hairstyle that went out of style for cishet men 40 years ago and his suit is just too big for him. It's as if manliness is ill-fitting.

He has and perpetuates old fashioned ideas that a man should get chicks and have an impressive job. He's fixated on the idea that Dan-Ole needs a wife but does not hesitate to remove his ring in order to appear single. This shows that women, and the amount of women, he charms is something that should be achieved. This is a typical toxic mindset because it objectifies women.

He's an entrepreneur and flaunts it gladly, even if it's in a less impressive branch that sells plastic, almost as if he got the job just for the title of entrepreneurship.

When meeting Benjamin, he says that Benjamin does not have "a real job" and asks "who's gonna take over the farm?" as a way to say that Benjamin should strive for land ownership and a handsy job rather than something artistic.

It seems like his idea of manhood is about ownership of material stuff: land, job, women, and his attempt to achieve these comes across as desperate and insecure, because his manliness is through external means.

Compared to another masculine man in the play, Tuplajuusto embodies the performed behaviour that is expected of men. He's stoic towards strangers, up for a fight, and immediately offers a beer when he trusts Bertel. What makes Tuplajuusto multifaceted is that he has a softer and romantic side to him that he reveals when he sees Dan-Ole in despair. As soon as Dan-Ole describes her, Tuplajuusto looks longingly, as if empathizing with Dan-Ole's smitten affection.

His first advice to Dan-Ole is the expected manly reaction of being aggressive: "let's kill him!" However, his second advice focuses much more of the deeper feelings: "when you've caught something so fleeting as love, you fight for it".

In Tuplajuusto, acting manly comes easier. The expected manly behaviour comes first, and everything remotely feminine should be shown after trust is built. But the feminity is still a part of him.

Masculinity and even feminity is part of his behaviour, and in that sense, integral to who he is.

Dan-Ole is a fun case because he's arguably gender neutral in his performance. He dresses the exact same as Eva-Lisa, in knit sweaters, cargos and hiking shoes. The outdoor clothes are for comfort and practicality rather than for show. Dan-Ole in general doesn't feel the need to show off, seen in his behaviour. When talking about his interest in ornithology he stutters and calls himself a "hobbyist" as to seem humble.

He's a bit more submissive as well, whimpering and not knowing what to do when faced with danger. Although after being hyped up and believing in himself, he becomes *his* ideal "alpha male", being a bird!

This is also in line with Dan-Ole being autism coded: that he does not care for social roles and is comfortable with who he is.

Simply put, Bertel desperately tries to exude the typical Osthrobotnian macho ideal as a way of survival. It's an insecure performance because of how reliable it is on external symbols of masculinity.

Through a queer perspective, this desperate attempt to seem like a man can be interpreted as the attempt to hide who he really is, whether it be gay, transfem, or even transmasc. Do with that what you will.

Frying my heart and lungs by sleeping with a laptop on my chest the same way you irradiate your balls and make yourself infertile by putting it on your lap

So many people want d20 and cr to make out sloppy style and merge and im over here like....... I don't like cr.... that's why I watch d20.... they're very different shows and smashing them together would destroy the individuality of both..... not everyone in similar media spaces needs to collab.....

>First, we’ve discovered that about a quarter of all the internet connection in or out of the house were ad related. In a few hours, that’s about 10,000 out of 40,000 processed.

>We also discovered that every link on Twitter was blocked. This was solved by whitelisting the https://t.co domain.

>Once out browsing the Web, everything is loading pretty much instantly. It turns out most of that Page Loading malarkey we’ve been accustomed to is related to sites running auctions to sell Ad space to show you before the page loads. All gone now.

>We then found that the Samsung TV (which I really like) is very fond of yapping all about itself to Samsung HQ. All stopped now. No sign of any breakages in its function, so I’m happy enough with that.

>The primary source of distress came from the habitual Lemmings player in the house, who found they could no longer watch ads to build up their in-app gold. A workaround is being considered for this.

>The next ambition is to advance the Ad blocking so that it seamlessly removed YouTube Ads. This is the subject of ongoing research, and tinkering continues. All in all, a very successful experiment.

>Certainly this exceeds my equivalent childhood project of disassembling and assembling our rotary dial telephone. A project whose only utility was finding out how to make the phone ring when nobody was calling.

>Update: All4 on the telly appears not to have any ads any more. Goodbye Arnold Clarke!

>Lemmings problem now solved.

>Can confirm, after small tests, that RTÉ Player ads are now gone and the player on the phone is now just delivering swift, ad free streams at first click.

>Some queries along the lines of “Are you not stealing the internet?” Firstly, this is my network, so I may set it up as I please (or, you know, my son can do it and I can give him a stupid thumbs up in response). But there is a wider question, based on the ads=internet model.

>I’m afraid I passed the You Wouldn’t Download A Car point back when I first installed ad-blocking plug-ins on a browser. But consider my chatty TV. Individual consumer choice is not the method of addressing pervasive commercial surveillance.

>Should I feel morally obliged not to mute the TV when the ads come on? No, this is a standing tension- a clash of interests. But I think my interest in my family not being under intrusive or covert surveillance at home is superior to the ad company’s wish to profile them.

>Aside: 24 hours of Pi Hole stats suggests that Samsung TVs are very chatty. 14,170 chats a day.

>YouTube blocking seems difficult, as the ads usually come from the same domain as the videos. Haven’t tried it, but all of the content can also be delivered from a no-cookies version of the YouTube domain, which doesn’t have the ads. I have asked my son to poke at that idea.
