It was the middle of the night, at about 1.30am, when Norway lost to England.

Yet thousands of Norwegians went to the Palace in Oslo and celebrated with one final Viking row.

They did not riot. They did not burn cars. They did not smash bus stops or glass windows of shops.

They smiled. The laughed. They saw the positive in their performance. They celebrated their heritage. They were proud of who they have been in the past and who they are today.

Norway might be out of the World Cup 2026 but they are in our hearts.

In the last three weeks, I think we have all fallen a little bit in love with Norwegians.

@DeoVolente66409 @therealmissjo Imagine confusing a democratic, joyful community celebration with North Korea. Reaching the World Cup quarter-finals is a massive milestone for a small winter nation! 🇳🇴 We love our team and a good party. Even Swedes as yourself are welcome to the party! 🇸🇪🥳⚽🎉

[Knut Yrvin @Knut_Yrvin]

@GTrudeauFC @GadSaad So true. We need everyone on board to build a decent society, where the law applies equally to all, everyone has access to education, and we can all come together through sports. Norwegians got this! 🇳🇴 And by the way, we really know how to party! 🎉🥳 Then all is invited!

@JohnCleese From 1 January 2025, marriage between cousins is banned in Norway, as well as between closer relatives such as aunt/uncle and nephew/niece. The ban aims to prevent health risks to children and combat forced marriage and negative social control.

@Zacken @TimothyDSnyder Norwegian Justice. This weekend it was announced that Mona Juul is resigning as ambassador with immediate effect, as a result of her contact with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. (Source: Dagbladet).

@Zacken @TimothyDSnyder Politicians have created conflict-of-interest rules that target ordinary citizens, which they themselves often ignore. When people feel unfairly treated, the principle of equality before the law applies even to ministers. A lesson they should have considered beforehand.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Refreshing to see criminal and journalistic investigations go forward in Norway. The scandal is meaningful and there is a meaningful response. All of us should do so well.

@Zacken @TimothyDSnyder You’re focusing on what citizens can follow, but the key point is that Norway’s police and justice system are working. Court rulings will ensure those in power take their duties seriously in the future.

@kanapolotos @TimothyDSnyder The Norwegian Parliament (Stortinget) has acted. Alongside Økokrim’s probe of top diplomats, a full, independent review by experts with no political ties will take place, plus a series of public hearings by the Parliamentary Control Committee. Accountability is underway.

[Knut Yrvin @Knut_Yrvin]

@scaramuccio0 @TimothyDSnyder With witnesses alive and evidence mounting, millions of Norwegian kroner spent aiding Epstein demand full accountability and openness. Norway, founded on equality before the law, now shows the world justice. The alternative is lawlessness and corruption.

@bungarsargon The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize nominations closed Jan 31. Trump’s Israel–Hamas peace efforts could be relevant in 2026. On Aug 26, 2024, Marco Rubio — then a U.S. Senator, now Foreign Minister — nominated María Corina Machado.

1/ Do AI systems discriminate based on gender when choosing the most qualified candidate for a job? I ran an experiment with several leading LLMs to find out. Here's what I discovered:👇

Battle of Pokrovsk
The battle of Pokrov became the biggest battle of this war. But it also became one of the largest battles in history in terms of the number of armored vehicles lost.

Russia is suffering more and more losses trying to look like the side that is winning.
The dynamics of Russian losses indicates the price of the Russian offensive. 1/6

Ask yourself why you're suddenly so invested in a 10-year-old case from another country. It's because Elon Musk is trying to change the subject from his gross H-1B views, his censorship of critics, and shilling for China. Honored to join @piersmorgan for his first show of 2025:

@MoonQuality @KristianGunder Barn skal lære om flere kjønn, skriver du? Det er to kjønn, mann og kvinne. Hvorfor skal skolen indoktrinere barn i følekjønn-troen? Maia Kobabe bak boka «Gender Queer» sier den passer ungdom på +16 år. Du som voksen må slutte å dytte barn foran deg.

[Knut Yrvin @Knut_Yrvin]

@MoonQuality @KristianGunder Hvorfor krever du at barn i skolen skal indoktrineres med følekjønn-troen som bygger på normkritikk og dermed fornekter kjønnskategoriene mann og kvinne?:

Nei. Det er ikke grunnlag for påstanden om økt selvmord om man ikke får eksperimentell behandling
