Author and speaker.
I am in Berlin today to give a keynote at the marvelous Intercontinental. But, more importantly – I had rolled marble slab style icecream at KaDeWe for dinner last night.

To win this Swedish speaker award, you need to average at least 4.8 out of 5 in the systematic client feedback grading from the agency during a full year. And… I did! :) Happy and surprised at the party in Stockholm last night. Thank you ALL for making this wonderful working life work for me.

As often, awestruck at how comfortable some people are with making a train car their own meeting room. Now I know way too much about this Finnish/Swedish company on their way to Stockholm than they should have shared with just anyone who happens to be on the same train.

Ni hör inga sverigedemokrater formulera ett intelligent motstånd mot republikanernas moraliska sammanbrott. Det är för att de i hög grad sympatiserar med vad som sker, och skulle göra liknande saker i Sverige om de bara kunde. Man får vara bottenlöst naiv för att inte se detta.

Gick på premiär och blev, åtminstone före paus, riktigt jädra imponerad. Så roligt att ha goda skäl att skriva en starkt uppskattande recension.

RECENSION: ”Svenska revyn” på Slagthuset är det bästa Henrik Dorsin har gjort
Henrik Dorsin både omfamnar och driver med svenskheten i sin revy där rimkonsten, musiken och kostymen är på topp.

To have skin in the game and let it be bruised if need be. Respect.
Acclaimed banjoist Béla Fleck is pulling out of three Kennedy Center concerts, joining a growing number of musicians canceling events after the board voted to add President Trump’s name to the venue.
All the Kennedy Center cancellations since Trump’s name was added
“Wicked” composer Stephen Schwartz is one of the most high-profile artists to have backed out of an event since the center’s name change.

This is an extraordinary posting by the wife of one of Trump's closest advisers Steve Miller. Combined with recent statements that the US "needs" Greenland and its strive to dominate the western hemisphere, threats against Greenland must be taken very seriously.

Futurist @andreasekstrom.bsky.social warns that while #AI automates mundane tasks and specializes our skills, we risk a "tyranny of convenience." By outsourcing communication & labor to algorithms, we may lose the essential struggle required for true human learning: www.cnbc.com/2025/12/31/3....

If you are not subscribing to my monthly email, this would be a good time to get going. Send me a DM with your address! I will send something the first day of each month, yes, that means tomorrow, and when you get tired of it, unsubscribing is a two click deal!

Again, it might be the third time, a sales oriented person in the international speaking business kindly suggests to me to perhaps be less political on social media, to not make people scared to book me.

Sorry, no can do.

Digital is political. That is sort of... the core of my message.

Att döma av bjällerklangen från läsekretsen så trampade jag på en tom tonerkassett eller vad det heter med årets sista söndagskrönika. Printa bara i nödfall och god jul!

Every so often – it is rare though, thank goodness! – a commercial entity will try to get professional keynote speakers and moderators to work for free. Yesterday, a new low: they actually wrote "speaking at our conference is free of charge".

Well, yes, I wrote back. For me it is. Not for you. :-)

The EU just decided to indefinitely immobilise Russian assets.

This ensures that up to €210 billion in Russian funds stay on EU soil, unless Russia fully pays reparations to Ukraine for the damage it has caused. (1/2)

Man kan tro att Andrev Waldens bästa text är hans bok om uppväxten, men det är i stället den här från 2018, den borde vara en kulturjournalistisk klassiker. Har du sett "Lejonkungen" behöver du läsa den här texten. Och aktualiteten 2025 är fullständigt bedövande.

Fascismen är underbar
Fascismen har vaknat igen. Och det förbryllar oss. Hat är ju så himla omodernt. Men det är inte hat, det är en berättelse om gemenskap. Om du vill förstå fascis

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.
