Fun fact: the University of Oslo's rector election ends on April 4th, as widely advertised. But it ends 8am (not widely advertised) on April 4th, so at least I will not be able to vote... @uio.no @unioslo-svfak.bsky.social

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Today, we celebrate the day of Finnish culture - happy Kalevala Day! In recognition of this important day, here is a recording from two years ago when my wife Keyla and I performed some Finnish (and other) music at an event in CDMX: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/gsn06....

Det är fantastiskt att se att BNP-jämförelser mellan länder och över tid har nått dagstidningsjournalistiken i kölvattnet av Bech Holtes bok. En del tidsserier är konstruerade för att jämföra länder vid en given tidpunkt, andra för att jämföra ett land över tid. www.dn.no/kommentar/no...
