  • A Life Lived Full of Next Times

    Today I was watching This Is Us, season 5 and, for the ones familiar (or not, I won’t give spoilers anyways!) it is a total tearjerker. 8 out of 10 episodes guarantee to make you cry! So, back to the episode: Rebecca (the matriarch of the Pearson family) makes a moving speech about “the next…

  • Information sources

    Books were the main source of information for centuries, but before that, there were stories told by word of mouth. And now, there is the internet and with the internet, all sorts of channels of information: social media, podcasts, online versions of news magazines, etc. This has led to an influx of information and now…

  • Thoughts from the past

    I have always been a bit unsure of my intellect, especially compared to others. There certainly have been the more common ”losing the keys” kind of bad memory whoopsies and perhaps, the more serious walking to a wrong way when the things in the mind are more interesting than the path to the destination. But…

  • Finding people to talk to

    I didn’t know that finding people to talk to, as an adult, is this difficult. By talking I mean not “Hello, how are you?” to your neighbor nor everyday chit chat with your work colleague. What I mean is like a book club, but more in depth. It seems that there are hundreds or maybe…

  • General knowledge

    I think we have all seen videos or news clips where “a common citizen” is interviewed by asking general knowledge questions that everyone ought to know. The task could be for example “Point Canada on this map.” or “Name any book.” There can also be just questions, like “What language do people speak in Sweden?”…

  • The short politics

    In recent months and years, there has been a raise of something that I like to call “short politics”. Meaning the length of time the politician stays in one position is getting smaller and smaller. The meaning of fast fashion (or similar terms) has been around for many years, due to chains like H&M making…

  • Statement of wealth

    The moment when wireless EarPods cost €200, the consumers have gone to the state where the price isn’t anymore the issue, it’s about belonging and choosing. Apple has seen that the more expensive phones aren’t selling as much as their new phones were and thus the new more reasonably priced phone models are coming to…

  • My FRIENDS Will Always Be There For Me

    In February this year, after many clues on social media (Matthew Perry finally joined Instagram along Jennifer Aniston!) we got the news that we will have a Friends reunion! In May 2020, HBO Max will be launched and the 10 seasons of the beloved series will be part of their catalogue. Ok, we knew that…

  • Facts

    What ever happened to fact based discussion? Or the idea that one individual can have multiple opinions, and not just right or left wing biases? There seems to be a lot of “If you are not with us, you are against us.” mentality that poisons the discussions from the start. I believe still (although not…

  • For the year 2019

    The year has changed and people all over the globe are trying to make a change for the better this year. Many things happened during 2019, that were bad and I for one am very happy to get rid of the ended year. I didn\’t do enough for my fellow man/woman, nor for the animals…
