☕ Sweden’s coffee shelves are looking... empty?
 Why? Another price hike is coming - and Swedes are panic-buying their favorite brew.

📈 In February alone, coffee prices rose 8.8%. On a yearly basis? +23.5%.
 And this week? Even more.

Suppliers like Arvid Nordquist admit they couldn’t keep up with demand.
 Production plans based on “normal behavior”turned out to be completely useless now.

Shops are putting up signs. Wholesale limits are in place.

No, this isn’t a drill.

Stock up while you can… or start emotionally preparing for Zoégas withdrawal 😂🇸🇪

🎰 Sweden’s last physical casino is shutting down
 Casino Cosmopol in Stockholm - the final location still standing - will close no later than Jan 1, 2026.
Why?
 📉 Declining profits, rising competition from online gambling, and a political decision to end Svenska Spel’s license to run land-based casinos.

Sundsvall closed in 2020. Gothenburg and Malmö in 2023. And now… Stockholm.

“It’s the end of an era,” says the CEO.
 The casino will stay open for now - but the countdown has started. Even the iconic building on Kungsgatan will be sold.

Is it change for better?

📉 Big drop in chlamydia cases across Sweden.

Down 19% in 2024, especially among 15–19-year-olds.

Also dropping: syphilis. Going up: gonorrhea. So… not a full clean sweep, but hey - we’ll take the win.

Meanwhile, on the respiratory side: 📈 Mycoplasma spiked big time - more confirmed lab cases, more hospitalizations, even ICU. 📈 Whooping cough also came back strong: over 2,500 cases last year, way more than a normal year.

And yes - Sweden still has good vaccine coverage, but some diseases are clearly making a comeback anyway.

Less chlamydia, more coughing.
Welcome to Sweden’s 2024 health summary 🇸🇪😷

💥 We met in Minecraft. Of course we had to see the movie.

🎬 As two of the first Minecraft YouTubers on the Polish scene, this wasn’t just a premiere - it was pure nostalgia.
 Blocky worlds, creepers, redstone chaos… it all came rushing back.

We went all in. Merch combo with a mug, TNT, and a dirt block? 500 kr well spent.
 And yes, we even grabbed extra TNTs for our closest friends - because if you know, you know 😄💣

So, how was the movie? Cosy, funny, and full of charming moments.
 We gave it a solid 7/10 - and hearing a Polish accent in a global production? That was the cherry on top 🇵🇱🎉

Have you seen it yet? Planning to? 
Let’s talk in the comments - and no spoilers, or I’m sending a TNT your way 💬👇

🔫 A Swedish police officer left his loaded gun in an IKEA store - inside a bag he accidentally forgot after finishing his assignment.

20 minutes later, he realized the mistake and rushed back... but IKEA staff had already found the bag and called the police.

The officer explained the situation and cooperated fully - but leaving a loaded weapon in a public place? That’s no small slip.

📉 He’s now facing a disciplinary penalty: 25% pay cut for 5 days.

Lesson of the day: Check your pockets. Check your bag. And definitely don’t forget your firearm at IKEA. 🛒🇸🇪

🌍💸 What if your city’s loan depended on how green you are?
 That’s exactly what Gothenburg is doing. As the first city in the world to take a sustainability-linked loan, they now earn discounts - or penalties - based on climate results.

This year? ✅ Energy-saving goals: met. ✅ Support for vulnerable areas: progress. ❌ Renewable heating: setback. 🚗 Fossil-free vehicles: still in progress.

🎯 Bottom line: a 100,000 SEK discount on their 8 billion backup loan.
 Not perfect, but still ahead.

Gothenburg’s aiming to be nearly climate neutral in five years - and they’ve tied their money to that mission. Now that’s accountability. 👏🌱

🚨 They told me it’s “just coffee” - THEY LIED ☕️🇸🇪

Fika isn’t just “a coffee break.” 
It’s a sacred daily pause. A lifestyle. A personality trait. A reason to keep going. 
It usually includes coffee, something sweet (cinnamon bun = mandatory), and at least 20 minutes of deeply analyzing the weather or silently staring out the window.

There’s no such thing as a bad time for fika. Morning? Fika. Afternoon? Fika. Deadline? Still fika.

Swedes don’t skip fika - even their meetings include fika breaks. 
Miss one and HR might check if you’re okay 😅
