I didn't write much about the Romanian elections, and given the significant disruptions, I thought I share my thoughts. Let me start by asking a few LLMs about Calin Georgescu and the odds of Russian meddling as well as the odds of his campaign having broken the law.

I write a few words on the elections even though I’m not going to bother voting because my passport is in another city. Then I discovered I was wrong, but I'm leaving this here for my own recollection.

I woke up to a homeless person in the staircase, so I started looking into this phenomenon as it appears in Bucharest.

I’ve taken that prompt and fed it to Claude AI with amazing results. Here it is, and the Romanian translation will be more refined.

A comment to someone's Facebook reel made me think about existentialism in movies and more specifically American Beauty and Fight Club.

While it's customary to start a new blog with a celebratory post or some kind of an explanation, this is not exactly a new blog. It's the continuation of a blog started in 2007 and a detailed explanation will find its way there . What I'm researching right now is the best way to get mobile Data (i.e., Internet connectivity on a mobile device) in Romania in 2021-2022, preferably prepaid.

I present a conversation I had on Facebook with a protochronist lady; it’s an opportunity to recap some of my older articles on Dacians and Dacia and introduce a new hope (not the old one ).

We’ve discussed in the recent past how the VERY sparse information we have about Dacians has allowed very little “certain” knowledge about our ancestors. And I just learned about a theft that happened on the last day of a travelling expo at the Drents museum: it’s catastrophic.

It's a new year, I have a new blog (or, at least, new look), but the same old subjects, blog-friends and recurrent topics. I salute my blogroll friend Krossfire, Dacia and differences.

I’m not a oenologist, I’m not even a “connoisseur” and I drink next to never. But when I buy wine and especially when I’m in Romania, I’ll buy some Romanian wines and I’ll tell you about it.

I’ve discovered a list of 25 best Romanian movies, songs and festivals and I am quick to build upon them, before they disappear.

First, Happy New Year, then let me disclose a project I've been carrying on my mind for quite a while and made a plan to make it real . It's a novel taking place in the Dacian era .

Now that most stock markets plummeted on Friday, it is about time to complete my overview of how investing is reflected in Romanian mass media. Whereas before the pandemic lockdown most articles were asking “why aren’t Romanians investing”, thereafter we have a lot of reports of investments doubling every year.
