Happy to see my first piece of work on what is commonly known as conspiracies published! It reports the results of a long-term fieldwork in Bucharest. I wrote this in June-July 2024, which now feels like a long time ago...

One of the finest men I read, followed, admired, watched and met has passed away. His mind was bright, his calm seemed imperturbable, his look was intense and gentle, his humor was thin, and his humanity emanated from everything he touched.

Looking for work? Here’s how to write a résumé that an AI will love. https://t.co/rzOfV4czyB

What do you see from your home?

I feel like I can see ‘everything’ from my flat. It is bright and lovely: the sea (the Oslo Fjord), the islands, Oslo Plaza, the Government Quarter. 22 July still covered in white, the people along Grønlandsleiret. Randi. Oslo, Norway
