Stumbled into a convocation ceremony at the beautiful University of Barcelona today—what a joyful surprise!

En eldgammel tradisjon vi aldri ser ut til å gi slipp på: menn som spøker med kvinners helseproblemer

I go first:

Probably Economics—his conversion rates are extraordinary.

Which Nobel Prize is this gentleman most likely to win?

These days, the EU and its institutions seem to do whatever farmers and industry lobby for. It used to stand apart from North America in this respect—but sadly, not anymore

I am now well settled at the University of Copenhagen, in my capacity as a guest researcher for the Fall

I Norge…

Flyttet kirken fem kilometer

Nothing to see here—just Swedes dragging a whole wooden church across town. If the followers cannot come to you… build a moving service for God

My wife took this incredible night photo of the Percé Rock in Quebec while I was sleeping. Apparently only one of us is serious about sightseeing

I have reserved my heart (and algorithm) for birds and dogs.

I am beginning to suspect that BlueSky’s “Show less like this” button for cat videos is just decorative. I keep pressing it, yet my feed still looks like I accidentally joined Cats Unlimited

I can still fish… I just cannot, apparently, catch

Late-night calm and early-morning beauty from my glamping escape in Miguasha, Gaspésie, QC

What a great experience — a jazz festival right here in our little hometown of just over 600 people! The very first North Hatley Jazz Festival

Savnede Alec Luhn (38) funnet i live – Vi er veldig, veldig glade! Tusen takk til alle i Norge som har bidratt til å finne ham, sier kona Veronika Silchenko til VG.

Excellent breaking news from Norway: Alec Luhn has been found safe and in good health

‘It’s Outrageous That You Banned American Products From Your Shelves’ U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra opens up about U.S.-Canada tensions and the signals he hopes to see from new Prime Minister Mark Carney.

The ambassador’s full quote, showcasing full-spectrum delusion:

“I think it’s outrageous that you banned American products from your shelves. That is an insult to us. We have not done anything like that…”

My heartfelt condolences, professor. Thank you for sharing such honest and loving stories about your father — they were moving and always deeply meaningful

Takket være Trump krysset 33 % færre kanadiske innbyggere grensen til USA i juni 2025 sammenlignet med juni 2024

For a political scientist and EU observer, there could hardly be a better time for a sabbatical in Copenhagen 🇪🇺 @eu2025dk.bsky.social

Jeg har et spørsmål angående basmatirisen jeg kjøpte i København i dag: Den danske bruksanvisningen anbefaler at risen skal koke i 10 minutter og trekke i 10. Den norske derimot, anbefaler 15 minutters koketid og 5 minutters trekketid.

Hva gjør en stakkars nordmann i Danmark med slike anbefalinger?

Thanks, Michael!

I am grateful to Bishop’s for supporting this sabbatical, and I want to sincerely thank all my students and colleagues for their collaboration—and patience—during my time as Chair. I wish Jacob Robbins-Kanter all the very best as he takes on the role.

I will be back at Bishop’s in January 2026.

This is my final week as Chair of the Department of Politics and International Studies at Bishop’s University, as I will be starting a sabbatical leave on 1 July.

During the Fall of 2025, I will be based at the Department of Political Science at the University of Copenhagen as a guest researcher.

Er dette god humor @eivindtraedal.bsky.social ?

Det irriterer meg så grenseløst å høre ungdommen uttale navnet til riksrevisoren…

A special transatlantic partnership dating back to 1976, when the EU and Canada signed a Framework Agreement on Economic Co-operation, the first formal agreement of its kind between the EU and an industrialized third country 🇪🇺 🇨🇦

As a Norwegian, the news that Morten Harket has Parkinson’s hit me. He is, after all, our only truly international pop star

I usually stay away from social media comment sections—but today I looked, and saw only kindness, admiration and support

Morten Harket seems to have only friends. Well earned
