Hi all, I am Tormod 🇳🇴🇸🇪 (he / him)

My days are spent as a consultant in enterprise IT organizations, mainly focusing on teamwork and the people side of delivery. In particular with coaching, processes and enabling teams to work better together across departments and vendors.

My passions are in the areas of #photography, #graphicdesign, #typography and #music. And, of course, family ❤️

Happy to talk to anyone, and I will assume you're awesome until proven otherwise.

    The Human Tenure Trap is a systemic issue that plagues entire industries and even governments.

    Politicians facing re-election prioritize voter-pleasing policies over tough long-term challenges.

    How do we escape the trap?

    This was the base premise of HBO's "The Wire". Lots of individuals, most of them trying their very best, but being hampered by the very system they operated within.

    preface to say: I don't want to be friends with you because you hate Apple—it's among the least imaginative things to build your personality on 30 years running yet people still do it with gusto

    But man, what a sad moment for a company that's built all its good will on the fusion of engineering and the humanities. The whole point of Apple products is to support your success with everything this ad so gleefully destroys

    But there's a deeper irony…

    Agree they would have done way better with “Squeeze” and somehow magically squeezed all of those representations of creativity in there, without damaging anything.

    Also, every time I hear “even thinner” I think “just keep the old thickness and give me more battery!”

    USAA really really not reading the room here and is now unveiling voice account verification, just as the whole world knows it's trivially easy to clone someone's voice with AI. Incredibly bad decision that will undoubtedly lead to bank accounts getting drained.

    ? I mean this in the most supportive way, but we need to talk about yellow. As in very light skinned people should choose basically any other color as their top. Just watched the , and... that objectively stunning Elizabeth Debicki and whoever the charming +1 to Kieran Culkin was-yellow is NOT a charming color for very white people.

    Sure, any Latina, Black or Indian person can rock it, caucasian people just look sick from that reflection.

    Bracing for impact, but can't you see it?

    Now that the IDF has operational control of the main crossing into Gaza, the food, medicines and aid are going to pour into the country, right?

    Right?

    Some German nouns are used completely out of context:

    Bock = goat
    Ich habe keinen Bock (I have no goat) = I don't want to

    Wurst = sausage
    Das ist mir Wurst (That's sausage to me) = I don't care

    Besen = broom
    Ich fress einen Besen (I eat a broom) = I don't believe this

    Keks = cookie
    Du gehst mir auf den Keks (You go on my cookie) = You're annoying me

    Bahnhof = train station
    Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof (I understand only train station) = I don't understand anything

    ❓
    🤔

    If I understand the concept of borders correctly, there are TWO sides. How the Egyptian side could be taken over by the IDF doesn't make much sense, unless it's an act of war against Egypt. Right?

    I don’t particularly care what celebrities are wearing to the met gala.

    But some people do.

    Some people are passionate about fashion. Some people have had a shit week and just want to talk about something fun and not think about hard things for a few minutes. All of which is ok.

    You can just let folks enjoy things.

    Watching the recording on Vogue now, and loving it. So over the top and totally impractical, but quite impressive. A mix between fashion, art, sculpture and design, and fun to watch women getting stranded on the staircase, unable to move until the four ushers arrive to help carry that oversized train 😄

    Absolute madness, but I like it!

    Men’s fashion is same as the last 200 years, no surprises there.

    The wealthy 10% of the over-developed nations are wondering where they'll fly to for their next vacation.

    "At least 83 people are dead after days of heavy rain in southern Brazil and more than a hundred are missing.

    Another 122 thousand people have been displaced by floods, which have destroyed roads and bridges in several cities, triggered landslides and caused a dam to partially collapse."
