Her website, omg! she has 4 different contact buttons: "Interviews & Speaking Engagements", "General Inquiries", "Kind Words & Praise", and ..... "Misogynistic Trolling" ahahahahaha

And WHY if you don’t know how to play the piano do you choose to practice at an airport????

Why are there pianos at airports??

Joke’s on me: here I am standing in line in what looks to me like a queue of several hundred people

I live by the rule that life is too short to stand in line for anything

You all cannot comprehend how empty Norwegian offices are in July

Changing variable names in updated versions of datasets / new survey waves should be a crime

Why do Gianni Infantino and Childish Gambino sound like two versions of the same name to me?

And its July which means that most people have already left for vacation

Schick dass die Tour dieses Jahr in Barcelona startet, aber über die Kosten spricht mal wieder niemand (dass wir im Deutschen Stream jetzt andauernd „Barffffelona“ ertragen müssen)

Do men who fall down a lot naturally gravitate toward professional careers in soccer

Seems Google is a bit too obsessed with football right now 🚴

The number of times I’ve sent a second message saying „not meant in a creepy way“

hey slack, :) and 🙂 are NOT the same and imma need you to stop changing it, thank you

I love nordic summer anyways, but now with the rest of Europe being struck by another heat wave, I value it even more. We spent this weekend in the mountains in best summer weather (20 degrees). But Oslo is also fantastic during summer: endless days and literally never hotter than 30 degrees

Helsinki sky showing off tonight ✨ (Note it’s 11pm here, I simply cannot comprehend how people don’t love Nordic summer)

I’m 33 and I have a PhD and yesterday I asked my parents on FaceTime what the different symbols mean on a dryer and how to use it. (Turned out my parents didn’t know either so we agreed the dryer was weird and I ended up drying cloths in my hotel room)

Thanks Google Lens, I think I’ll pass on flavorless explosive/flawless (open) natural yoghurt

Fritz Güntzler (finanzpol. Sprecher Union) hat vorhin im DLF im Interview zum Ehegattensplitting gesagt er glaubt den wissenschaftlichen Studien nicht, die zeigen dass die gemeinsame Besteuerung das Einkommen von Frauen reduziert. Ja juht, so wird das nichts mit evidenzbasierter Finanzpolitik. 1/2

Tonight is the men‘s ice hockey world championship finale, where Finland is playing Switzerland. I’m in Finland right now so my task for the day is to figure out the rules of that game

Has someone done sth like the Big Mac index but for IKEA? Couldn’t believe how expensive an IVAR combination (the cheapest and probably most iconic IKEA shelf) is and turns out it’s 50% more expensive in Norway than in Germany???

I’m visiting FIT (Finnish centre of excellence in tax systems research) at University of Tampere for two weeks and not only am I having a great time here so far, but it also feels very fitting to do a research stay in the 2026 European capital of smart tourism 🇫🇮

What a time to be alive

Guy at the airport climbs through the stanchions to cut the line at a crowded security checkpoint (which in my opinion there are very few or zero situations where this is acceptable) only to then sit down at a breakfast restaurant???? It never ceases to amaze me how unhinged some people are

Eurostar kindly informing me that my train will „skip some stops“ and opening the email reveals that these stops include mine 💀

This, probably.

A response to recent reporting in Germany, in service of clarity and accountability: First, it’s important to be precise when it comes to critical infrastructure like Signal. Signal was not “hacked” — in that our encryption, infrastructure, & the integrity of the app’s code was not compromised. 1/

Hatte ganz vergessen wie crazy Regionalzugpreise in DE sind wenn man kein Deutschlandticket hat. What do you mean von Münster nach Osnabrück kostet 25EUR pro Strecke?? Die Fahrt ist 30 Minuten
