Climate
In 2025, satellites recorded roughly 265 million hectares of burned land across the planet — an area equivalent to about eight Norways. But the real story isn't simply how much burned. It's what happened inside all those fires: how they started, how they grew, where they went, and what they became.

Artificial Intelligence
When AI files ten formal complaints against humanity, Ragna is asked to find out whether there is a story in them. Three days later, she has found a much harder question.

Probably Worth Reading
How does a small Norwegian magazine become an international publication? Apparently, it starts with a yellow coffee mug, a lottery, an overworked journalist, and a coffee machine that finally agrees to cooperate.
Three quiet walks through the RABAGAS newsroom reveal that the most interesting things rarely happen all at once. A reflection on work, coffee, office plants, a sleeping Leonberger, and the unnoticed rhythm of an ordinary editorial day.

It took the Norwegian government weeks to issue my passport. Upwork wasn't convinced. What followed was a surprisingly ordinary experience that left me wondering how much of ourselves we now have to surrender simply to log in.
