> #Tolkien 's "Rangers"
I'm no expert but here is how I imagine it.
> Where and how did they live?
Camping out in the woods, like Snusmumriken.
> What was the base of their everyday economy?
Hunting.
> How could they afford textiles, weapons and armour?
Mostly they kept using the same old worn things. Maybe once in a while they would trade something from their hunting, like an animal skin, for something they needed.
> Where did they stable their horses?
They were on foot.
@MattiP looks yummy! Who did the cooking?
@snowracer säga vad man vill om Jesus, men han var en jävel på att predika.
My latest piece for The Guardian:
A government that claims to take concerns over crime, safety and national security seriously, while ignoring violent far-right extremism, will struggle with its future credibility.
Sweden has a long tradition of refusing to face up to its racism – past and present. But racism could still decide the next election.

@kolombiken nice! Put them on a straw, like their name tells you to! 😃
@fkamiah17 but it's decentralised so then people can just register on an instance that is based outside the UK, right? ... right? (insert Anakin+Padme meme)

@bettycjung.bsky.social that's a really interesting difference between then and now.
The existence of seach engines (like Altavista, Yahoo search, Google search, etc) was good for creators like someone writing on a blog, because the search engnes helped other people find your blog.
In contrast, ChatGPT et al are really bad for you because "OpenAI" will copy what you have written and give it to users as if "OpenAI" had created it. Why write a blog when nobody will read it?
