From starring in the serialized version of Faithless and Hamlet on stage to a small role in an indie film set in 1870s Wisconsin, it’s hard work for you… – Haha, yes, but also something I appreciate. After all, playing Hamlet was a marathon that required absolute presence and energy for a long time. With a small film role, it’s important to quickly get into the character and make an impression in a short time. I enjoy switching between big and small roles and see it as a challenge to contribute to the whole, regardless of the size of the…

The day after the curling brawl between Sweden and Canada, both teams prepared for new games in Cortina. The question was whether the insults and provocations on the ice would have consequences. Marc Kennedy yelled “fuck off” at Swede Oskar Eriksson after still accusing the Canadian of breaking the rules with his checkers. Rule 19 The international curling rules deal with “inappropriate behavior” and state: “Inappropriate behavior, foul or offensive language, misuse of equipment and intentional injury to team members are prohibited. Violation may result in suspension of the individual(s) by the appropriate curling organization.” The current rule on inappropriate…

At the beginning of Colson Whitehead’s novel The Underground Railroad, the protagonists arrive in South Carolina and see a young woman running away in a panic. “‘My children, they are taking my children away from me!’ The audience sighed at the familiar refrain. They had heard it so often in their lives on the plantations, the mother’s complaint about her poor offspring. The novel is in many ways a fantasy of American slavery, in which Whitehead gives physical form to the “railroad” -…
Exhibition “We Will Survive. The Prepper Movement and Design” Röhs Museum, Gothenburg. Display up to 4/10 Remember how quickly toilet paper was emptied from grocery store shelves when Covid took hold? It was just as bad with the hand sanitizer. Supplies ran low and the pandemic became a reminder of how vulnerable our everyday supply chains are. However, some were prepared for an emergency, so-called “preppers”. Now the Röhsska Museum is drawing attention to the culture of preparation in the exceptionally well-crafted exhibition “We will survive: The prepper Movement and Design”. People who hoard cans and batteries in anticipation of…

Sara Hector struggled with nerves and injuries, fell, got back up, brimming with anger and seething with joy. Twelve years ago she made her debut at the Olympic Games as a speed skater. Four years ago came the biggest highlight of his career so far: the gold medal in the giant slalom in Beijing. When she now competes in her fourth and most likely last Olympics, it is a medal hopeful with more than 16 years of World Cup experience who will be competing in Cortina. Who was Sara Hector, who competed in her first World Cup competition in 2009?…
Increasingly advanced driver environment AI in the driver environment, dashboard and infotainment system is nothing new. But there is more and more talk about turning the car into a kind of passenger, understanding and expressing what is happening inside and outside the car – and in this way helping the driver. For example, it can suggest available parking spaces. Or it can interpret what you say and adjust different functions based on that, or learn the driver’s preferences and adjust things based on that. At the CES trade show earlier this year, German technology company Bosch presented an advanced driver…
Anders Karbin mumbles and places the boiling coffee pot on the modern stove. Next to it, the fire crackles in the hand-renovated old wood-burning stove. He puts his glasses on his forehead and says: – If Putin starts arguing, I can cope even if the power goes out. He can heat water, cook food and turn up the heat even in the event of a power outage on the wood stove. I have been working as a cleaner for 38 years. The sweeping area is larger than Skåne and Blekinge combined. Over the years he has had the opportunity to…
Conflict between CEO and Chairman With just four years until the next Winter Olympics, the organizing committee of the French Alps is in a deep crisis. After an emergency meeting with the French government, the organizing committee said there were “irreconcilable differences” in its leadership. The conflict between the chairman of the organizing committee Edgar Grospiron and the CEO Cyril Linette is not the only one. In the last two months, three senior members of the committee, including communications manager Arthur Richer, have resigned. Grospiron, the former hillbilly Olympic champion, has now been tasked with leading preparations for the games…
What would Mikael Persbrandt’s punk band have been called if he had one? Friends Håkan Sörle and Stefan Sjur thought about this during a flight from Slovenia, where Håkan Sörle’s former band had played a gig. Something with K, they thought, because many playwrights have a special way of pronouncing that particular letter, with a sound that somehow gets thicker if the consonant is too far back in the mouth. – So we finally found out he probably called it “Crossed Cocks.” And then Håkan said: “We’ll form a band and take this name, and you can sing a song…

This is a comment text. The author is responsible for the analysis and positioning in the text. The Great Olympic Brawl – What are the chances of it breaking out in the curling rink? Definitely a high scorer. Many of us in the stands could hardly believe our ears and eyes when Oskar Eriksson accused his Canadian opponents of cheating and Marc Kennedy then told him to go to hell. But on the other hand, I’m not surprised that the Swedish team reacted. Curling is traditionally a gentleman’s sport where players largely make their own decisions, but when the stakes…
This is a joke. The author is responsible for the opinions expressed in the text. Today’s name is Valentine and that means 9,796 Swedes have reason to eat their own name day cake. Plus the 291 people whose last name is Valentin. All according to the name statistics on the Swedish Tax Agency website. When I was a child there was only one name per day, but for several years now most days of the year have two name days, but not February 14th. If you look closely in your almanac, you can see an extra line of text under…
This is a comment text. The author is responsible for the analysis and positioning in the text. My New Year’s resolution for 2026 is to take care of my physical and mental health. No, I’m not going to therapy. I haven’t picked up a new workout routine either. Instead, I resort to a method that I believe is both more effective and easier to maintain: not seeing a single new American film. For a culture writer, it may sound like a foolish proposition. How can I “keep up”? But after leaving the theater angry during the first hour (of three!)…

Whether you’re making your favorite soup for the sixty-eighth time or just putting together a chicken ramen with instant noodles, you want it to taste as good as possible, depending on the conditions. And conditions do not always allow cooking a whole fresh chicken, going to the store because the can of dried thyme ran out yesterday, or buying exclusive chicken broth at Tetra. Then there is a…
A slightly euphoric coming-of-age drama about a 17-year-old girl who survives cancer and is persuaded by her parents to attend a summer camp for children who have received chemotherapy, a so-called “chemo camp”. Bella Ramsey was skeptical when she first heard the pitch for George Jacques’ “Sunny Dancer.” She called it “a recipe for disaster” and worried it would come across as shady, embarrassing and cliched. But after reading the script and having a Zoom meeting with the director in the middle of filming The Last of Us 2, she changed her mind. After recording in Scotland she gushed: -…
– It’s a completely indescribable feeling. We have fought for this for so many years and now we have finally managed to take this step. “In all my years in the national team we have not managed to do this and we have never been able to play in a medal match,” said Sweden’s best defender Maja Nylén Persson on TV4. “I’m really proud of this group, the way we blocked shots and I have no words for Ebba (Svensson Träff) in the effort to score,” she continued. Nylén Persson was, as always, one of the best on the ice…
Why is electricity so expensive? The combination of persistent cold driving up demand, little wind and low reservoirs after a dry start to the year are contributing factors. Experts also pointed to the new line between Finland and Sweden, the Aurora Line, which means that northern Sweden in particular is affected by prices in the neighboring country. For many people, the cold also becomes a kind of double burden. On the one hand, this increases the heat requirement in individual households, which can increase consumption and thus costs. According to statistics from Energiföretagen, 12 percent more electricity was consumed in…
