I love when web sites say "hey, you're coming here from the EU. We therefore can't provide you with out content, as the EU operates under GDPR legislation." What they're actually saying is "we will track our users and be so privacy infringing that it is only legal to do so in the US". I […]

Hah. Varje gång jag ser talmannen måste jag upprepade gånger påminna mig själv om att han tydligen ÄR på riktigt, och inte en karaktär i Solstollarna.

I predict that Sweden, again, will have months without a government due to crashed government negotiations. It has happened before.

General Election day in Sweden. Go vote if you haven't already. It is your obligation/opportunity to influence society. People have died for your right to vote today. Do it.

Mr Robot S04E07 is a masterpiece of television. If you know you know. You’d need to see everything prior to it to have it make sense though. #MrRobot #tv #series #MasterPiece

If you want to check out a new (to me) band that are breaking literally all the rules, in the most excellent way, have a gander at this. Part of this is so far from my normal batch of music that you'll think I've hit my head, and then again, other parts are exactly what I've always listened to […]

Apparently it is called "nylonbröllop" in Sweden after 21 years. Admittedly we were together for 12 years before that as I wasn't sure she would actually reply with a "yes" if I asked, but hey, it all worked out quite well I think. :)

Now my first-born spawn has left the nest. It is all more quiet here now, and it feels weird and strange, yet exciting and I secretly somewhat envy him and all the amazing and fantastic experiences he will have in the coming years.

I say, this is a fantastic article. So many truths. Also, a recurring topic these last couple of days, it saddens me that these days when people do NOT agree with something they lazily say "AI slop". To anything/everything. They proclaim they have seen the obvious, which means everyone else […]

It is not that I'm a huge fan of mosquitos, wasps, flies, bees, bumblebees (they are cool though) etc, but is it only here there has been a distinct lack of them this summer? And I mean ANY of them? Normally during summers (in my part of Sweden) you need an actual strategy combined with serious […]

I'm on a rewatch-tv-series-spree. Have just finished Person of Interest and (re-)started watching Mr Robot. It is quite fascinating how well before their time they were, compared to reality of today. I mean, 10 years ago they predicted, pretty much exactly, what we see right now. They asked the […]

Now this is cool! So, as I have been dabbling with AI-solutions, not to replace my creative work, and not to write my texts, but to actually do the things I would prefer to rather _not_ do (so I can free up time to create music, take photos etc) I have over time installed/integrated quite a few […]

This day 21 years ago is one of those days I’ll never forget. It was the day of the 7/7 bombings in London, where I lived and worked at the time. We heard/felt them. Scary times.

The most expensive and fragile thing on earth must be male football players. It is a miracle they get through a normal day! And yes, female football players seem more like normal people, they get up again if they trip or fall over. #worldcup2026

On the train back home after an amazing couple of days at #CopenHell2026. Copenhagen and Denmark delivered again. Sweden could learn so much from Denmark when it comes to arranging festivals (well, and a few other things too).

Sju dagar före invasionen röstade Ukraina igenom en lag om molnmigrering. Åtta dagar senare var den avgörande. Nu tar europeiska regeringar liknande beslut, pressade av krig och en oförutsägbar allierad. Sverige rör sig, men utan tydlig riktning […]

I say, that was a class act of Bring Me The Horizon, bringing Maphra to perform Doomed in front of their audience. I've now seen 3 separate clips of it, from different angles and distances, and from wildly different people, so I guess it actually happened. It was already clear that The Plot In […]

Just to clarify: that is NOT ”growl”. Doesn’t matter what any presenter miss-labels it as. That was not growl. Trust me on this. I’m somewhat of an expert on the topic of growling. #Eurovision
