I mean, my distaste for Trump means I wouldn't go to the US, but these prices put me off going to Mexico or Canada.

As a friend who was planning to go to the 2026 WC told me, "this settles it". He won't.

My Dad comes from one of the islands on your way to Trollfjorden. I envy how serene but also how wild it must have been growing up there.

Aye Mackøl is pretty good - if only it was cheaper! Mind, that goes for all of Norway!

Lofoten is mint, especially if you get out to the smaller islands. Did you get to see Trollfjorden?
Mack brewery is worth a trip in Tromsø.

If you ever get a chance driving from Stavanger/Bergen and up north towards Bodø is very much worth doing. Waterfalls, steep mountains, rivers, glaciers+++

Can obesity drugs treat Alzheimer’s? Novo Nordisk, the Danish company behind Wegovy and Ozempic, is staking its future on the answer. It's been running two vast trials for more than three years and is about to publish the results.

When your political party is completely out of ideas?

Burqa bans.

Christian Christensen @chrchristensen.bsky.social · 1d

Leader of Sweden’s Christian Democrats suggests banning burqas. Since almost no women in Sweden wear them, it’s a symbolic dog-whistle proposal targeting a tiny minority by a party that only attracts 4% of voters. Similar bans in Denmark and Switzerland proved to be next to useless.
