In 1890, Guðbrandur Sturlaugsson from Hítardalur copied Clári saga (the topic of my thesis) along with three other romances. He apparently didn't like the saga and ended his transcription with the words "Þettað er ómerkileg saga" (This is a worthless saga). 😆

@THSWESSEL @LeVostreGC @TimboTheWizard That would be the highest air temperature ever recorded. The record being set now repeatedly is the average daily air temperature of the entire planet.

Can we please get rid of the juries or at least have them not be 50% of the votes? This is getting so annoying! #Eurovision2023

[Védís R. @VedisR]

Once again, the juries fuck everything up. Congratulations #Finland you are the true winners!! #euro

Very important research!

@jjakobsdottir Ó, þetta er svo algeng villa. Ég reyni alltaf að benda mínum nemendum á þetta og alls kyns önnur atriði sem þau pikka upp úr ensku. Meðal annars þess vegna þarf ritfærnikennslu fyrir alla nemendur, ekki bara hugvísindafólk!

@Valdikaldi @Ingunnlo @ingibjorgstef @asthorjon98 Uuu, var það ekki Sólveig Anna og co. sem klauf? Nota bene fyrir formannskosningu. Hvað hefur hitt fólkið ekki umboð til? Að bjóða sig fram? Að tjá sína skoðun? Er það bara my way or the highway?

@zanyzaz We call it sólviskubit in Icelandic. 😁 Sól = sun, samviskubit = guilty conscious.

@Helgabenben Mega konur ekki vera menn? Ég er kona sem er maður. Ætlarðu líka að æla á mig? 🙃

@PaulGea40823321 If you are referring to whaling it is true there is one company in Iceland that does whale. The majority of the population is against it and the minister of fisheries is working on stopping whaling soon.

[Hugh Harrop Wildlife @HughHarrop]

In memory of #Freya - the wandering Walrus that graced us here Shetland last winter.

MURDERED today by the Directorate of Fisheries in #Norway because she was perceived as a "continued threat to human safety".

Abhorrent and unforgivable on every level.

[Védís R. @VedisR]

@PaulGea40823321 Why Icelandic? We didn't kill Freya. The Norwegians killed her just like they recently killed wolves that were in their way.
