If you follow me here, maybe you'd like to follow me on instagram too? My instagram is very different than my Twitter. None of that mouthy political crap. I just upload photographs there which I take during my runs through my city. You can find it here: instagram.com/maxie_q/

I will likely not post much here on Twitter from now on. I've not completely made up my mind, but I don't think I will linger. I'm not much for making a splash exit. If you still want to follow my antics, I will be on @maxieq on Vero.

Den liberala partigruppen Renew Europe i EU-parlamentet kommer fortsättningsvis inte att bjuda in svenska Liberalernas ledarskikt till möten. tt.omni.se/liberala-partigru…
Det är kul att via nätverk, bekantskaper, och kanaler avstyra att personer from @liberalerna får inbjudningar till träffar, events, och konferenser i Europa. Jag har redan avstyrt en sådan inbjudan till ett event som jag inte tänker namnge om de inte själva vill tillkännage det.
"Lefty woke activist of the anti-growth coalition snubs people's elected Prime Minister"
PM: Your majesty. Charles: So you've come back again PM: It's a great pleasure. Charles: Dear oh dear. Anyway...
Dipping into reading about the #UkraineWar and it strikes me that the propagandists in #Russia wanted to follow a modern Peter the Great in Putin. Instead they got Nicolai II. Russian TV is even full of Rasputins too.

It was me. I jinxed it.
Fyra år till med Magdalena Andersson. :) Drar en lättnadens suck, ärligt talat.

That said, the candidate for PM is about as competent as Boris Johnson. And as well liked as Rees-Mogg. And one of our two liberal parties are essentially falling apart and imploding. I think we're heading for a new election.
I was at a dinner today, and someone admitted to liking Ayn Rand. I don't know about you, but that kind of thing shouldn't be admitted in public. It's the equivalent of raising your voice, clinking the glass, and intoning "I have a leaky urethra that discarge smelly liquids."

It is with a weary sense of dread I await the closing of the polls at 8 p.m. local time. After 20, 21, 22, what says that 23 will be any better?

Maybe it is our time to lose our minds for a bit.
On Sunday, Sweden has the opportunity to join the reefer mad right of the USA, the morally bereft right of the UK, the ideologically vacuous right of Germany, or the insane right of France. Or we'll squeak by with a hobbled centre-left government. #svpol
With Liz Truss being the new UK prime minister, maybe the UN should appoint India or Kenya to go in and teach the UK how to govern themselves. Maybe teach them how to build trains and stuff, and develop industry.

Sociala medier är verkligen enastående. Inom loppet av bara 2 år har ens ögon verkligen öppnats för att det finns ett djup av expertis under ytan där. Från okända epidemiologer till dolda kundskapskällor om geopolitik till nu energigenier. Det är så man blir lite rörd #svpolitik
Så flera hundra miljarder till företag som knäat under vikten av alla vinster som följt i energikrisens spår, men föreningar med idrottsplatser och dyra hallar får inget? #svpol

I am babysitting a dog this weekend. As a cat person, I worry that it will soon realize that I'm mostly made of meat and I'm full of bones. Do dogs always use the entire kitchen floor as their plate?

Me: "Walkies?" CAT: "What? Be seen outside. with. you!? I'm ringing management. The staff is having thoughts much higher than their lowly station." DOG: *crashes the entire flat with their tail and generally behave with the utmost indignity*

I enjoyed being a dog person for three days but now I'm finding food pellets in the most unlikely places.
Det här är vad högermedia i Storbritannien basunerar ut i skuggan av elkrisen där folk får räkningar på 25% av årsinkomsten. När får vi se första Expressen eller SvD löpet om att svenskar måste återupptäcka saltsill och jordkällare?
In two days I've seen "Egyptians are not africans" and "Gomezes are not European". Does Egyptians and Europeans get a say in the US culture wars? 😁
