Just read on SVT, Sweden’s public service news outlet, that our neighbors in Denmark will set a minimum age of 15 for social media. Kids 13+ can use it with parents’ permission. PM Mette Frederiksen says it’s about giving childhood back — “phones and social media are stealing it.” Sign of the times.

I love that Robb Knight shared a photo of his workspace in his P&B interview, and I absolutely love how it looks 😍 If there’s one thing the indie web could get better at, it’s sharing photos in posts every now and then. It’s such a nice little treat.
Home sick, but my new Bear theme is getting better. I already have a name for it, though with my obsession for details, it probably should’ve been called OCD. 😅
Working on a new theme for Bear Blog. The more I think about it, the more I lean toward making it the Bearming 3.0 version. It’ll be quite different from the earlier ones, but I suppose that’s the whole point of a new version number.
Playing: Insane by Deki Alem 🎧
Great track from the Swedish twin brothers Sammy and Johnny Boakye Bennett. Feels a bit like Connected by Stereo MC’s, with a touch of early Björk in there too.
Today I learned why they named it DuckDuckGo, after reading Annie’s post Duck duck duck dichotomy. I had never heard of this game before 😊
Went out for lunch, ended up at a Slipknot concert. 🎃
Watched: Bugonia 🍿
Conspiratorial beekeepers and potential aliens hiding in plain sight. An unusually normal film for Yorgos Lanthimos. I freakin’ loved it!
Nice to see the Bear Discovery feed all dressed up for Halloween. Looking delightfully spooky!
Here’s a fun little Halloween hack for your blog: rename your guestbook to Ghostbook 👻
Watched: King’s Game 🍿
Classic political drama. I really liked it. There’s something about Danish movies that always feels so raw and real, like you’re watching actual life unfold.
