Been a while since I did a charity stream on Twitch, but I'm feeling the urge again. Tomorrow (Sunday) 11 am to 2 pm Eastern I'll be playing "The Long Dark" -- an old game but a new fave, to benefit NY Common Pantry. Join me for giveaways and (probably) horrible death! tilt.fyi/YVoFdn7Efo

Tippemidlene skal jo egentlig være en slags juletrefest-godtepose! Av og til får man en mandarin, og av og til BÅDE sjokolade og smørbukk. Kulturministeren skal få være en frittgående julenisse uten føringer. Det er skummelt om langvarige livsviktige satsinger skal støttes med fluktuerende midler.
📻 Daglig leder Ingvild Christine Herzog på NRK Nyhetsmorgen:
📚 Vi er bekymret over usikre midler til lesesatsingen.
🎙️ Kultur- og likestillingsminister Lubna Jaffery forteller at midlene skal komme fra tippemidlene.
⚠️ Dette uroer Herzog.
