Yesterday NRK - national broadcaster in Norway had an excellent fossil car propaganda - they took the cheapest price for gas and the most expensive electric car charging option (used by electric car owners just sometimes, or never) and announced that it is 0,6 NOK cheaper to drive a fossil car🤯

Today's best bit of news from Nato - Erdogan gave the other leaders each a revolver engraved with their name and a box of live rounds. But Starmer has had to leave his in Turkey to be decommissioned because, while Erdogan gave him a note waiving export controls, it's illegal to import into the UK.

Ko @edgarsrinkevics.bsky.social plāno darīt ar savu jauno revolveri? Erdogans visiem valstu vadītājiem esot uzdāvinājis personificētus, ar iegravētu vārdu ieročus! Lai var atšaudīties no “lāčiem”?

Strange to build a snowman on 7th July. But sometimes the nature surprises you in Norway (~1000 m above sea level)

Nezinu Šteinberga motivāciju izdzēst FB kontu (un viņa pārcilvēcīgi labo ierakstu, kas joprojām lasāms Delfos), bet, ja tas noticis tvitera un ar intelektu neapdāvinātu FB lietotāju ietekmē, tad te mēs redzam sekas bulijam. Bulijam, pret kuru it kā cīnāmies dzīvē.

Allerede i går, da NRK Dagsrevyen sendte innslaget, var det kjent at minst 20 mennesker var drept i Kyiv – ikke skadet. Fortsatt i dag har dette ikke blitt rettet på nett-TV. Det riktige er at 20 mennesker er døde, og at mer enn 80 er skadet.

Nice message in a hiker book on one of the tops along a hiking path in Norway- Ukrainians say thanks to Norway for the warm and safe shelter they got here, while russia is destroying their lives and homes in their home country!

Latvian USA artist duo Skuja Braden ceramics exhibition in Kistefos visitors centre toilets has one object respecting the tradition in Norway of 1920s, when people would use newspapers as toilet paper. Wiping with a picture of the king was seen as rude, so instead they would stick it to the wall.

It was a nice surprise to hear Andris Kalnozols, well known writer from Latvia (Kalendārs mani sauc) on a stage in the Lillehammer town Park as one of the Norsk literaturfestival authors! His European stories come next to my reading list (Eiropas smaržas).

In 2023 Latvian ice hockey team in overtime with 4-3 won over the U.S. and went home with bronze WC Later in the evening it was announced a free day on Monday to everyone in the whole country… now I hope for a similar announcement in Norway! A win over 🇨🇦 wining 🥉deserves a free Monday 😅

Congratulations to Norway with amazing championships and bronze #IceHockey🥉 It’s good to know that Latvia lost to those who won over Ice Hockey giants Canada. Norway has a really talented and hard working team! Hope they get some attention in the national media, where sports is a synonym to football

Norsk hockeysensasjon i VM - historisk seier over storebror Sverige

Norwegian national Ice Hockey team starts its fight in the world championships today,but you hear nothing in the national broadcaster NRK about this… there are important details in local football, some private medical facts about coaches son…who cares about a whole national team if its not football

Why would we let them here?

The body of another child was found under the debris. Russia killed two kids and 14 adults in #Kyiv today. It injured 57 more. I can't find words. I am aching and sorry for everyone whose lives were ruined by Russia. RIP.

This evening watching the 2nd semifinal #Eurovision. With friends together, making fun of crazy performances, but it was totally silent when #Atvara from Latvia was on stage! Beautiful song, amazing voice, no sexy moments and no madness - thank you for beautiful normality

In 24 hours, Russia launched 1560+ drones on #Ukraine. In addition, Russia launched ballistic and cruise missiles. In #Kyiv, one person was killed and 31 more injured. A lot of civilian infrastructure damaged. 📹: rescuers saving a person from a building destroyed by Russia.

Five people are now confirmed dead after Russia destroyed part of a 9-story apartment building in Kyiv during one of the largest combined air attacks of the war. Rescuers recovered two more bodies from the rubble in Kyiv’s Darnytskyi district. At least 20 people are still missing. 📹DSNS

Russland sendte minst 800 droner mot Ukraina

European Parliament backs special tribunal for Russia — 446 to 63 MEPs name the State Duma & Constitutional Court among those who must face prosecution. EU sanctions stay until a peace agreement is implemented in full. euromaidanpress.com/2026/04/30/e...

It’s Sunday! Is it so much to ask to get up on a Sunday morning and get some insights in a fun and humorous event on the other side of the ocean …but no, with this president in office it’s just constant chaos, drama and violence. So very tired of this madness! Could we ask for one regular Sunday?

Thank you Hungary! In this mad Trump, putin, red pill etc. world you showed that there is still a hope! 🇭🇺 p.s. - would be nice if JD visited Moscow 🤭

⚡️Russian drone strikes ambulance in northeastern Ukraine, injuring 3 paramedics despite Easter ceasefire. A Russian drone struck an ambulance in Sumy Oblast, injuring three paramedics overnight on April 12 despite an Easter ceasefire being in place, local authorities reported.

🤬 Russians attack Odesa with over 60 drones, causing extensive damage – Zelenskyy

🤬 Woman, 68, from occupied Zaporizhzhia Oblast "sentenced" to 11 years in prison for donation to Ukraine's Armed Forces

Extremely scary message. Deranged. Why are European countries still buying services from his company Palantir?

See a pattern here?

Remember when Putin lied to Trump about Ukraine attacking his home, and Trump fell for it, scolding Ukraine before checking the facts? US intelligence later proved it was fabricated, yet Trump did nothing to hold Putin accountable. So weak!

⚡️Update: Explosions rock Ukraine's capital as Russia launches ballistic missiles, injuring 2 in Kyiv Oblast. Several rounds of explosions were reported in Kyiv overnight on Feb. 22, leaving one person and a child injured in nearby suburbs as Russia launched ballistic missiles at Ukraine.

Ja otrdien esat Rīgā, atnāciet plkst. 7:30 pie Brīvības pieminekļa. Agri, bet tas tādēļ, ka Krievija Ukrainā pirms četriem gadiem iebruka ļoti agri no rīta. Uz saullēkta brīdi dziedās koristi no vairāk nekā 20 koriem. www.tvnet.lv/8419892/kopa...

Vai kāds no @valstsprezidents.bsky.social var nedaudz piestrādāt pie Prezidenta soc mediju publicitātes. Nezinu vai tā vienmēr, bet Olimpisko spēļu PR darbs liek domāt, ka mums ir tikai vīriešu kārtas sportisti. Elīnai neliela bilde, bet vīriem intervijas, telefonsarunas, apskāvieni un kopbildes?!

Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych’s memory helmet shows the faces of Ukrainian athletes and coaches killed by Russia’s war. More than 650 Ukrainian athletes&coaches have lost their lives. Remembering them is an act of dignity and courage. 📹🖊️MFA_Ukraine

Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm Lægreid got bronze medal today in 20 km Olympic distance and decided to use his media moments to announce that he destroyed his relationship because he was cheating…and now everyone will discuss it… is this something that poor girl wanted-to be discussed by everyone?

‼️ Power supply situation in Ukraine worsens sharply, energy system on the brink

(6/6) This is the moment for Europe to act together, truly collaborate, and draw strength from the realisation that it has the power to bring this war to a conclusion on Ukraine’s terms.

One Russian attack costs Ukraine €80 million in air defense missiles. Zelenskyy just revealed the brutal math of survival: each interception drains resources Ukraine must beg allies to replenish—while some systems sat empty, waiting for ammunition that arrived only this morning. 🔗

⚡️Update: Russia launches second wave of missiles targeting Kyiv amid large-scale attack. Russian forces launched a second wave of missiles towards Ukraine's capital, the Air Force warned around 6:30 a.m. local time.

This so called “president of peace” has ordered to bomb how many countries this last month?

I hope #ÅsneSeierstad book “Ufred” will soon be available in English, Latvian... Unfortunately, the book reinforces a sense of hopelessness. The people in Russia do not seek peace; tragically, they continue to send their children to war, the education system produces more war hungry invaders.

Trust us, we want you to succeed, we will guarantee your safety, we promise.

On the night of 23 December 2025, Russia attacked Zhytomyr region with kamikaze drones and cruise missiles. 6 people were injured, including 2 children. Zhytomyr Regional State Administration confirms that Kristina Soloviova, born 2021, died in hospital. Rest in Peace! 📷 Zhytomyr City Council

So very sad news today in our town, in the whole Norway, in all the biathlon world. Rest in peace Sivert Guttorm Bakken. As your team mates describe you - one of the most hard working and dedicated biathlete in the world! As people in Lillehammer say - extremely kind and nice person! What a loss!

💔 The death toll from a Russian missile attack on port infrastructure in Odesa Oblast on 19 December has risen to eight, with 27 people injured. 📸: State Emergency Service

Norway, winter sports kingdom- national broadcaster NRK during the news day after day are “reporting” all the “important” football issues! Can you guess what is the biggest issue when the World Cup is in Americas?Yes- the alcohol law prohibits sales after 2 am. Why would anyone think about Olympics?

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!! No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

FIFA peace prize?! It’s so tragic that it feels like the biggest joke of the year!
