    Watching "What We Do In The Shadows" after watching Morbius was fun for the extreme contrast.

    I didn't plan for that to happen, I only realized it as the movie started and they started showing drawings of bats.

    Taika Waititi said "We're Wolves is the film that Jemaine and I keep pretending that we’re making. Every couple of years we say, we’re making this new film called We're Wolves which follows the werewolves from the film,” said Waititi. β€œI feel bad to even mention it now because we keep saying it [ . . . ] We would like nothing more but we have a lot of shit going on. When are you going to die? Do you have a ... deadline before your death? I guarantee it before then. Five years, 10 years? It took us seven years to write the [first] film, so you do the math. That was a sad thing to say."

    Several well-known Swedish musicians, authors, comedians and politicians are Kurds born in Sweden to parents who came mostly from Turkey but also from Iraq and in some case Iran.

    Sweden sent 200 officers to Iraqi Kurdistan to train the Peshmerga. Several Swedes, Kurds and not, also went there and to Rojava in a private capacity to volunteer as fighters in support of Kurdish troops.

    @Mans R Every person in the film speaks English except that one guy. The main character speaks Norwegian to him too.

    That character only appears for that brief exchange, but I suppose it provides an effective way to demonstrate that they know each other well and that the main character has enough intellect and empathy to learn a few lines in a foreign language.

    We watched Morbius.

    I was a bit surprised at how it lingered at the Nobel prize ceremony and how one security guard spoke Norwegian for no obvious reason, but then it turned out the director and the score composer are Swedish.

    Presbyopia is age-related farsightedness, and apparently "presbyterian" comes from a tradition of having a council of church elders.

    In the 40 remaining comments there are some interesting and surprising finds. In particular, mm/dd/yyyy, with digits, was not introduced with computers, contrary to what many are assuming:
    I have been working with a collection of mid-18th to early 19th-century English correspondence, and the mm/dd/yyyy format is used on occasion. Sometimes the same person will date a letter, say, 4/10/1797 (for April 10th), and the next letter will be 12/4 (for April 12th). I'd previously had no idea that this format was in use so long ago (mm/dd or exclusively numbers).

    It's not just on fedi:
    [ . . . ] Top-level comments need to be substantiated, historical answers to the question and the rest need to be reasonably on-topic. Not layman speculation. Not which arbitrary standard is best. Not so-and-so uses so-and-so.

    I hate to be so stern about it but seriously... 120 of 160 comments [deleted].
    The question?
    When did the USA originally start using the mm/dd/yyyy format and for what reason?

    @M. GrΓ©goire @Basil Sweden with its self-image as a "humanitarian superpower", strong belief in the right to political asylum and a soft spot for the underdogs of the world has been a popular home away from home for separatist or dissident groups in exile, including people from Xinjiang, Chile and the PKK from Turkey.

    Sweden traditionally has strong ties with the Kurds, so it's not super surprising to see Turkey raising objections against Sweden joining. I have difficulty imagining that they would block membership in the end, though.

    Read-only at the moment, but far less confusing than seeing only the question and being bewildered at what the answers are talking about!

    Humming the song "Song to Stalin" by the Swedish 1960s and '70s Leninist group "Clenched fists" is very good for keeping time, because each verse is about 30 seconds.
