🎓 Student season is here - but the celebrations could be stopped.

Swedish police dropped 9 strict rules for student party trucks - the big decorated vehicles grads ride through town with music and buzz.

🚨 Break the rules and the truck gets shut down immediately.
 Highlights include: ✅ Safety rails must be 110 cm high ✅ The driver has to be 21+ with a valid license ✅ Passengers can’t block the driver’s view ✅ Police must approve the route in advance

✨ „Studenten” is Sweden’s graduation day tradition - full of loud celebrations, dancing, and wild rides through the city. But if these safety measures aren’t followed, the party might not even start.

Is your flak approved yet? Let’s hope so - the countdown is on ⏳🎉

🔴 Final thoughts on Eurovision 2025

We watched grand final together and I asked you about your thoughts and comments. I’m glad to see we agree on many matters, thank you all for amazing discussions on DMs! 🫶

Sweden 🇸🇪 - my initial thought was, these songs win for public but not the whole competition but still love Bara Bada Bastu ❤️
Estonia 🇪🇪 - same here, Espresso Macchiato forever
Austria 🇦🇹 - never my favourite until the last moment, I don’t think I’ve cheered them more than during announcing votes from public 😂
2nd place - joke for me. Big no. But still great they didn’t win (and huge relief for security of the event I suppose)
France 🇫🇷 - the most beautiful ballad, stunning staging, love it love it love it 🥰

More in the video ✌️

🔴 Went out for a wild Saturday.
But the whole country stayed home chanting “bara bada bastu”

Tonight marks the grand finale of the 69th Eurovision Song Contest, and Sweden is turning up the heat. Literally 😆

Represented by KAJ with their sauna-inspired anthem “Bara Bada Bastu,” they’re not just bringing the steam but also aiming for a record-breaking eighth victory.

If they clinch the win, Sweden will surpass Ireland’s record, becoming the most successful country in Eurovision history. From ABBA’s “Waterloo” to Loreen’s “Tattoo,” and now possibly a song celebrating saunas 🔥🔥🔥

So, if you’re wondering why the streets are empty and your friends aren’t replying, they’re probably in a virtual sauna party, cheering for Sweden’s quirky yet catchy entry 🤣

Tonight we’re all sauna fans! Yksi, kaksi, kolme - sauna!

🔴 How would you explain the dynamics between Nordic countries to foreigners so they understand the vibe?

It turnes out I don’t need to - KAJ @humorgruppen.kaj did that in such accurate way on the Eurovision’s turquoise carpet, I can now just play the video and everyone would know 😂

Good luck tomorrow!

🚨 Lost your license over a blood test – even if your doctor says you’re fine?

That’s the controversy surrounding Sweden’s PEth tests - a method used by Transportstyrelsen to check long-term alcohol use and decide if someone is “fit to drive.” 🧪

But more and more people, like a 25-year-old ambulance nurse in Karlstad, are speaking out, saying they lost their körkort despite having no drinking problem at all.

After public outcry, the government says: ⚖️ The rules are now under review 📉 The goal is fewer unfair license withdrawals

What’s PEth? It’s a type of blood marker that can indicate alcohol use over weeks but critics say it’s too vague and doesn’t tell the full story.

No one should lose their license based on unclear guidelines and change might finally be coming.

Who you gonna call? 🌳 Pollenbusters! 😷💨

In Gothenburg, allergy season meets Ghostbusters vibes - researchers from Göteborgs universitet are walking around with vacuum backpacks to collect pollen from stressed trees.

Why?

Because not all pollen is created equal.
 Some trees - especially those growing by roads or with little water - produce more allergens.

The goal? 🔍 To create better, more accurate pollen maps - so allergy sufferers know which areas to avoid.

It might look funny… 
but this research could literally help people breathe easier 💚

🎤 As a self-proclaimed Eurovision expert (because I lived in the host city last year and breathed glitter for a week)…
 Let me answer the question you’ve all been asking 👇
 “Where are those audience clips from if the first semi-final is only tonight?” 👀✨

I wasn’t even planning to talk about this but after replying to a few comments with the same question, I thought… why not just record a video? Maybe it’ll help someone else too 🤷‍♀️💁‍♀️

Swipe in for behind-the-scenes gossip, mildly chaotic commentary, and zero actual qualifications 🤭💅

GO GO SWEDEN 🇸🇪
