Jag sänder kärlek till hela svenska folket. Så ledsen för den meningslösa tragedin. Frid till dig.

Have you met my best friend and main advisor, Garpur-Bradley? Now 8, he understands a few words of Norwegian and Swedish (I think), and is a huge fan of catering leftovers. We've been working together to fight apathy since 2018. We probably aren't winning, but, who cares, whatever...
