Nå er mars måned i Trondheim til å kjenne igjen.

Foreløpig ingen store snømengder, da.

Da har jeg brukt halve dagen, men omsider klart å bestille reise til en konferanse i Estland.

Fruen skal være med, og pålogget Berg-Hansen var ikke alt bare dyrere, jeg får heller ikke mulighet til å bestille reise for to.

Dermed tar vi mesteparten av oppholdet som ferie, og det blir luksus jeg ikke hatt samvittighet til å belaste jobben med.

Today in 'shouting 'til we're blue in the face'. But maybe the media will listen when it's published in a journalistic outlet? Just kidding, of course. #farright #radicalright

Media must stop normalizing the far right

Every uncritical mention of far-right rhetoric is an editorial decision with political consequences.
