Every single commercial in Oslo has been replaced.

People are walking at a slower pace today. Some of them with flowers on their way to the palace.

Everybody got this broken feeling, like their father or their dog just died

Mitt største håp for Norge er at vi skal klare å ta vare på hverandre. At vi skal bygge dette landet videre - på tillit, fellesskap og raushet. At vi skal kjenne at vi, på tross av all vår ulikhet, er ett folk. At Norge er ett.

@estermoe Nydelig! Bøgda er vel dessverre sterkt undervurdert av mange.

@kiheger Litt det samme som hvis en er eneste passasjer i en buss, så kommer neste passasjer og setter seg så nærme som mulig. I en tom buss. Uforståelig.

This platform is so flooded with anti-EU propaganda that I feel obliged to add my two cents on the role of a united Europe in general — and the EU in particular — for Ukraine.

1. The anchor of Ukraine's democratic transformation.
EU accession has a proven track record of helping countries strengthen democracy, reform public administration and justice sector, and modernize their economies. It played a transformational role in Central and Eastern Europe, providing a major economic boost for countries like Poland, Baltic states, or Hungary (before its illiberal backsliding). Had Ukraine seriously pursued EU membership since 1991, things might have turned out differently. But history has no conditional tense.

Yet, even without accession, the EU has played a major role in helping Ukraine build anti-corruption institutions, ensure transparency and decentralize authority and money since 2014. In 2022, EU candidate status helped unblock critical steps related to NABU and judicial self-governance. I hope a future Hungarian government will lift Orban's Kremlin-serving block on Ukraine's EU integration, restoring powerful leverage for further reforms.

2. The symbol of values.
Since 2013, when Ukrainians took to the streets to defend our European choice, EU integration has remained deeply popular — reaching record levels after the full-scale invasion. Public support stands at 70–85% according to various polls. When asked what Ukrainians want most from the EU, over 70% say: push for more reforms.

Human rights, rule of law, zero tolerance for corruption, and free markets are not abstract ideas for us. We are fighting against a russian regime that seeks to impose the exact opposite here.

3. The historical cradle.
Kyiv belonged to Europe when Moscow was still a swamp. Yaroslav the Wise's daughters became queens of European states, including Anna of Kyiv in France. St. Sophia Cathedral, built in the 11th century, served as the social and political heart of Kyivan Rus.

That is why Kyiv matters so much to russia's imperial conquest — and why the Kremlin is so obsessed with subjugating or destroying Ukraine. And that is why we must finally return home to Europe by joining the EU — there's no place in the gray zone for us anymore.

4. The mutually beneficial partnership.
European countries cannot afford to abandon Ukraine, because russia is a common threat. This is clearly reflected in aid flows — along with bilateral support, the EU plays a crucial role too, with the largest share for macrofinancial support coming from the EU budget and joint borrowing.

Ukraine, in turn, has much to offer Europe — no less than it receives, especially given the growing unpredictability of the United States. Ukraine has the largest battle-hardened army, modern combat-tested technology, and the society firmly standing on our values even as defending from the existential war.

Yes, I am often frustrated with Europe, because I firmly believe that Ukraine's victory is Europe's best long-term security guarantee — and it is painful that so few fully grasp this.

Regardless, Europe remains Ukraine's strongest partner today, and the EU is Ukraine's geopolitical anchor. In a united, well-armed Europe with Ukraine in its heart I trust.

Norway is reversing its mistaken 2016 decision to give every student an iPad, which damaged education immediately. Many countries are going back to books and handwriting. I hope many American schools will go back to analog next September, and let's see if that works for us too:

If there is precisely one thing you watch today, make it this. French Senator Claude Malhuret. A microphone. And the most magnificently savage dismantling of the Trump administration ever delivered in a language they almost certainly don’t speak.

He covers Iran. He covers corruption. He covers the kind of staggering, industrial-scale incompetence that would get you fired from managing a car park. And he does it with the calm, unhurried certainty of a man who has read every page of the indictment and found it, if anything, worse than expected.

France has never pretended to like these people. But this is contempt elevated to an art form. The kind of refined, aristocratic disdain that takes centuries of civilization to produce and approximately ninety seconds to deploy.

Malhuret sounds like he is four seconds from the button. Not out of panic. Out of sheer, exhausted disgust.
Honestly? Understandable.
Watch it. Share it. The adults are speaking.

Every wash cycle releases microplastics into the water. Every year it degrades slightly and releases more. At end of life it will sit in landfill for four hundred years or end up in the ocean.

The sheep, meanwhile, grows a new coat every year, requires it removed, and produces a fibre that has been biodegradable since the Neolithic.

But yes. The sheep is the environmental problem.
