Less people travel from Scandinavia to the US. Wonder why? Graph shows travellers in March. Source (in Norwegian): nrk.no/urix/stor-nedg…

There comes a time in every American tv-series, where the writers put in a horrible boss who wants to make the department more efficient. Then that series die. And isn’t brought back into life until that boss is out of the script again.

Norwegian newspaper @vgnett uses #ChatGPT to make short versions of news articles. Try yourself here: vg.no/sport/fotball/…

@viidar @gowalla Wooooot

When @MarieKondo apparently runs the @washingtonpost Twitter account:

In Norway, @IKEA has put up shelves with towels near popular bathing spots. Grab a towel, and pay with @Vipps_no (a mobile based payment app almost all Norwegians use). All based on trust. Would this work where you live?

how it how it's started going

One of the very few “cons” with the #COVID19 crisis, is the creativity that people show online. One example is @samaracello, here with “Super Mario Bros. ❤️ We need a label for videos like this. Let’s call it #zoomsthetics 😄

Hahahhahahahha Apple Watch will now notice when you wash hands. «Well done» message when you have washed enough.

Both this Apple keynote and late night shows like @LateNightSeth have really shown how much dead air there is when an audience is laughing/clapping every other line — I like the revved-up speed!

But will YouTube keep playing when "off screen" in PIP on iOS 14? I doubt it. Google needs our money. 😂 #WWDC2020

Two years ago I drove through Alabama on my way to #SXSW. I followed the historic trail from Montgomery to Selma. Visited the museum and walked the bridge. Such an important place in US history. All US citizens and visitors should go. And learn. #Selma55

@bonka Doesn’t work the way you describe it.

@oyvind iOS already has this feature: Hold your finger on the gif in any app or browser and chose save to camera roll. In messages, open photos keyboard extension and select "Animated" album: There, all your favorite gifs, saved in one place. #tada

Here’s a feature I would like in #iOS: Hold finger on ANY gif in any app or browser, and iOS saves it as a favourite. All favourite gifs are then found in a new gif keyboard which shows up when you have faved the first one.

Teen on Twitter today. 🤪#MyTwitterAnniversary

Norwegian broadcaster NRK is sending “the clock -minute by minute” live on YouTube - for 24 hours. Love it. youtube.com/watch?v=EYctuc…

Yes! Do it! #imserious

@ClintSmithIII Why is there voter registration AT ALL? In most European countries you show up with the card the government starts sending you automatically when you’re 18. And vote. If you vote other places than hometown you bring a valid ID. And vote. Voter registration is 18th century.

There should be same day voter registration in every single state.

@_jim87 @conradhackett It’s up to the schools. In most schools you can learn programming as well. There’s also something called @Kodeklubben that works to teach children how to code.

@oyvind @conradhackett Seems like a missed opportunity. Except maybe Chinese (though which one).
