All new high definition screening of the classic Icelandic film Hrafninn flýgur (When the Raven Flies) courtesy of @ScandiCenter! With a fun little bonus of @BarbarianLord and I geeking out at the film’s writer/director, Hrafn Gunnlaugsson. #Norsevember https://t.co/nxbeW9cc1y
”Norse History for Bostonians” doesn’t only hold the distinction of being McSweeney’s longest-running column, but is also its most unpopular one, by a lot. With pen-splendor (that’s a kenning) by @BarbarianLord in recent installments. https://t.co/m2wsEG4j3L

Jörmundgandr spends most of his time at the bottom of the sea, being evil and biting on his own tail, but he makes a special exception and rises above the waves, snarling poison, when Thor goes fishing with a decapitated ox head. #MythologyMonday
According to The Impudent Edda, Mimir’s head guards a special well of interplanetary cosmic radiation that is located less than a single parsec away from the asymptotic giant branch of the Old Norse space-time continuum nearest to Jotunheim. https://t.co/0WevSwDrSu
According to The Impudent Edda, Thor once stopped at the Agassiz Road Duck House in the midst of a troll-slaying expedition to use the lavatory when the wolves of Iron Wood quite literally caught him with his pants down. https://t.co/knKhZmFiIM
It had been foretold in The Impudent Edda that Brady would defeat Goodell at Ragnarök but then 2020 happened and he went to Florida instead of Hel. The end of the world just doesn’t make any sense anymore. #MythologyMonday https://t.co/knKhZmFiIM
Dreary Pohjola is that strange, inhospitable land far to the north where Dame Louhi guards the magical sampo, at least until Kalevala’s heroes, Ilmarinen and Väinämöinen, decide to travel north themselves and take it from her. #FolkloreThursday
