RABAGAS
Monday Briefing
Monday mornings at RABAGAS begin with reluctant coffee, questionable planning and an editorial meeting where trolls, LinkedIn, OnlyFans and a slightly dysfunctional newsroom all compete for space on the agenda.

Tuesday, According to RABAGAS
At RABAGAS Magazine, Tuesday is less a day of the week than an administrative condition. Between briefing meetings, existential emails and an increasingly opinionated coffee machine, the editorial team attempts to distinguish journalism from infrastructure.

Spending the Night at the Office
One late night at the RABAGAS office, Ulrikk settles in with a thermos, an air mattress and an impossible research assignment. Somewhere in the darkness, however, the coffee machine seems to have plans of its own.
Everyday Life
The Poor Man
A two-day coffee withdrawal ends in an ordinary shopping centre café—and an unexpectedly expensive lesson in modern Norwegian pricing. A small story about coffee, inflation and the feeling that everyday life has quietly become a luxury.

Nobody Is Driving the Bus
As children, many of us believed that somewhere, someone was in control. As adults, we gradually discover something far more unsettling—and perhaps more hopeful. A reflective essay about uncertainty, responsibility and the quiet power of human agency.

The Psychology of Office Lighting
Can changing the light bulbs change the way people think? In the RABAGAS newsroom, one editor is convinced it can. A humorous essay about creativity, office culture and the surprisingly philosophical consequences of replacing LED lights with warm bulbs.

AMOC Again
Jonas can't stop writing about AMOC, Hampus has had enough, and even the office coffee machine becomes part of the debate. A humorous newsroom story from RABAGAS Magazine about journalism, climate science and headline obsession.
Society
The New Class Divide
The biggest divide in modern society may no longer be income. It may be something far less visible: who you can call when life falls apart. A reflective essay about family, safety nets and the invisible inequalities that shape everyday life.
Everyday Life
Humanity vs. Customer Service
Modern life no longer pits us against the forces of nature. Instead, we battle phone queues, chatbots and customer service departments that seem designed to test the limits of human patience. A humorous essay about bureaucracy, technology and the quiet art of surviving modern life.
Global Affairs
Refugee or Emigrant?
What separates an emigrant from a refugee? Once, the answer seemed obvious. Today, the distinction is becoming increasingly blurred as climate change, economic inequality and political instability reshape why—and how—people move.
Climate
When the Pacific Sneezes
It begins with a broken coffee machine and ends in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. An essay about El Niño, the hidden systems that shape our world, and why a warmer ocean can eventually be felt in places that seem impossibly far away.
