It’s one of the things I think legitimately every country struggles with, as the dynamics that abusers take advantage of are near-universal. Currently the Swedish Academy (which awards the Nobel Prize of Literature) are being exposed for looking the other way about sexual abuse in their midst, for instance.

Shattered his knee as a Serbian 18-year old in 1990? With all respect for his pain, I guess at least he avoided conscription.

You count ERA by inning, right?

He is criminally underpaid, though.

Now he should take a sabbatical until he’s eligible for free agency.

“But he was white and everything!”

Ma-Ma’s favourite player!

But the older players don’t get anything for free. As the past year has shown us, the teams can simply choose not to pay.

This is the most amazing section:

Carlsberg non-alcoholic is actually really good.

Working in the Swedish court system, some things I find weird:

NBC might not be great, but I can assure you this happened in a whole lot of countries. Looking at the highlights from Eurosport with Swedish commentators, they crowned Veith the winner (though appended “I’m pretty sure we can say for certain”) when the 25th racer went, and then relegated the Super-G to the digital…

I think Eurosport had Ledecka as the very first run after switching to the digital player.

Mikaela Shiffrin apparently threw up right before her race this morning. Hopefully just nerves.

I’m not sure Cambodia is a real place, it’s not even home to one of the Asian cultures.

This made me check, and Anja Pärson retired six years ago. I really shouldn’t be surprised by this!

I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that in the end, humans are the ones who bring madness to the mountains.

Mayo?

How Charles XII, a guy who (after a fortuitous start to the war) lost Sweden its Empire, managed to become the poster boy of Swedish right-wing nationalists is beyond me.

I just got my new passport in Sweden a few weeks ago. The process was: book time online, go to the office (police office), wait ten minutes, show ID, take photo, give fingerprints, and say which office you want to pick it up at. Then go pick it up after you get a text.
