Sweden is a modest country, no grand gestures, they built the Gripen E for one purpose only, to shoot down anything the Russians have as they have done the past 70 years, they built next generation fighter jets to be better, faster and more lethal than the Mig's they're up against at their border

I love soccer and I remember each World Cup with great intensity and always so much look forward to the next. But FIFA that was disgusting, even more disgusting than usual, and now I just can’t. And won’t.

This is very true and it affects authors too, because you know that every sentence you write could be taken apart aggressively and in bad faith.
Our information space is dominated by a system that demands and rewards continous and immediate emotional gratification, so you can't even begin to have a discussion about complex issues. It's a bright cancer that spreads and multiplies with every interaction.
It's part of the electionification of everything, which is why we as a country are failing to have a proper conversation about our actual problems. It's bad for the left *and* the right.

Utgivarna polisanmäler Mark Zuckerberg för bluffannonser
Publicistorganisationen Utgivarna tar nu steget att polisanmäla Metas vd Mark Zuckerberg, skriver man i ett pressmeddelande. Anledningen är spridningen av bluffannonser på Facebook som enligt organisationen utnyttjar både journalister och mediehus – och lurar privatpersoner på stora belopp.

When a Swedish minister gets this sassy, it means that they’re furious.
And rightly so. It’s amazing that the small ones have punched so far above their weight, but inexcusable that the bigger ones haven’t followed suit. There simply are capacity limits for the small ones.

There's a reason why antibiotics shouldn't be prescribed too lightly. They will stop working.
Limiting antibiotic use to when they are most needed is one of the most effective ways to combat the spread of resistance, which is predicted to cause up to 10 million deaths per year worldwide by 2050.
