Building technology for good. I believe in community, collaboration, innovation, and not taking ourselves too seriously. Cats, books, power, philosophy and occasionally memes. I still think punching nazis is a good idea.

Når NRK er så opptatt av "begge sider" at de driver systematisk og sidestiller demokrati og fascisme/autokrati som to likeverdige ideer som har rett til lik tid og anseelse på deres kanal, så får jeg lyst å ta redaktørene i nakkekragen og knurre dem i fjeset og spørre hva faen er det du driver med.

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this
