Did'nt know my local West Swedish train, the X80 Västtrafik commuter train, was made in China but I must say I enjoy travelling with it. Especially having the power socket in the chair rather than up at the roof, since my phone charging cable is a bit short. 🚆 youtu.be/-yLdRZP1vXc?...

The sharp escalation in repression against the LGBTQ+ movement must not be met with silence. As the space for civil society shrinks, solidarity and support for those who defend democratic rights and freedoms are more important than ever. Oscar Ernerot Olof Palme International Center

I read that Eva Marie Saint—who, among many other roles, played Mother Kate in "How the West Was Won"—has passed away at the impressive age of 102. For those of us who grew up in the 70s, Saturdays were set aside for this Western classic, which became a bigger hit here in Scandinavia than in the US.

Vänersborg, Sweden. Tuesday October 6th at half past six PM. The sunset's coming earlier for every evening, but it still feels like late summer in the air, rather than autumn. Soon, winter will fall and darkness surround us once more. Time to light a fire in the stove, to sit back and read. 🔥

The deportation of teenagers is being halted by the Red-Green parties; the Green Party (MP), Centre Party (C), Social Democrats (S), and Left Party (V) have agreed on a joint decision within the Committee on Social Insurance. A first step in the right direction compared to the Tidö government. ❤️💚❤️💚

My grandparents, farmor Irma and farfar Valter at their marriage in 1942. Irma was born in Norway while Valter was partly of vallonian heritage. Both grew up poor, but they managed to pull through and built themself a home in Sandared outside of Borås, Sweden. My uncle Glen lives there these days.

Shortly after the election of a right-wing Speaker of the Swedish parliament, Riksdagen, Magdalena Andersson, leader of the Social Democrats, met the elected speaker Andreas Norlén, to tell she's not being able to form a government between the four center-left parties in the opposition ⬅️❤️💚💚 ❤️💙🩵💜💛➡️
Will Magdalena Andersson, Social Democrat, become PM or has the Left party brought a new crisis to the parliament by choosing to suoport tve right-wing speaker, Andreas Norlén?

The Swedish Riksdag elected Andreas Norlén from center-right Moderate party with 200 votes against 146 for the red-green candidate Johanna Haraldsson's 146 votes. This after the Left party (Vänsterpartiet) last night decided to vote on Norlén instead of Haraldsson. Who's gonna PM? Who knows?

The voting for Speaker of the House in the Swedish Riksdag started at noon. The two candidates are Andreas Norlén for the center-right Tidö parties (💙🩵💜💛) and Johanna Hataldsson for center-left S, MP and C (❤️💚💚). Since V / the Left (❤️) are going to vote on center-right Norlén, he's supposed to win.

Tony Johansson @tonyjohansson75.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
The Left Party, V, suddenly support the center-right Moderate speaker of the house, meaning that the task of Social Democratic leader Magdalena Andersson to form a new center-left government falls. Instead the Moderates and the Left Party should be asked to form a government, Andersson says.
A disappointed Magdalena Andersson can't see she's able to form a governmet.

A painting of a typical Swedish lake with a field of yellow water lillies. In Swedish the flower's called "Gul Näckros"/"Yellow Nude Rose." "Näcken"/"Nudie" was also a nude mythical creature with a fiddle, who tried to get people to dance into the waters to drown them. I suppose it's his roses.

A very close election, but when only 6 districts out of 6626 are left to count, the center-left RedGreen opposition have won the Swedish general election with 176 seats against 173 seats for the right- leaning government. Our next PM therefore will be Magdalena Andersson, from the Social Democrats❤️💚
The 4 party big center-left Red/Green Alliance will win over the 4 party big right-leaning Tidö group. 
PM Ulf Kristersson is therefore in need to resign, and be succeeded by Magdalena Andersson. A close election, whete the former Nazi party, the Sweden Democrats, SD, are the biggrst loser of the election.

When the temperature reaches 26 degrees, mussels begin to lose flesh—that is, they become lean. At temperatures above 28 degrees, they risk dying. This summer, the Mediterranean has experienced higher temperatures than the Caribbean Sea. It's turning into a tropical sea, and the mussels are dying.

The result of the Swedish elections for my local town Mellerud looks to grant the Green party one seat, making the party come back into the local council. I suppose I'll be a local MP for the next few years. The center-right party the Moderates becomes the clear winner, gaining four new seats.

The result of the Swedish election is too close to call. The last votes will be counted this Wednesday. For now, the center-left red/green block has 176 seats, while current center-right govrrnment have 173 seats. The biggest thing to be happy about its that former Nazi party SD is the biggest loser
176-173, right now the center-left red/green block leads the Swedish election, but it's still too close to call. The seats of tbe parliament.Primeminister to be?

OMG The big lead for the center-left opposition ahead of next Sunday's Swedish election has eroded the last week. Now, it's only 2,6%. Especially the Social Democrats are struggling, while the Left, Greens and Center party are doing better than back in 2022. This is getting a bit too exciting.
The result of this poll:
Opposition (leader Magdalena Andersson, S) :
V (left) : 8,4%, S (sicial democrats) 25,8%, MP (greens) 7,8%, C (liberal center) 8,3%.

Government and their support (leader PM Ulf Kristersson, M) :
L (liberals) 3,3%, KD (christian democrats) 6,5%, M (conservative) 17,2%, SD (former Nazi partuy) 20,7%.
