Meet Bjorn Barrefors: Bjorn is a decathlete from Sweden. Bjorn is hot. Unfortunately for us, Bjorn did not make the 2012 Olympic team. While it sucks we have to wait ‘til 2016 to see him compete, it doesn’t mean we can’t admire his body.

Sweden’s Weird Rockabilly Car Festival

Every July, a classic car festival called Power Big Meet takes place in the town of Västerås, Sweden. “Raggare” are Swedes who love ’50s Americana culture - Elvis, rockabilly music, greaser style, and a somewhat tone-deaf use of the Confederate flag. Here are photos from this year’s fest.

Sweden’s Awesome Twitter Account Run By Random Swedes

The “Curators of Sweden” project is a new initiative that gives a different Swede the chance to run the country’s official @Sweden Twitter account for a week. There’s no filter, the content is totally the prerogative of the citizen tweeter - tweeting one’s lunch, drunk @ replies, cursing, criticizing Lebron James, etc. is all permitted. This is a landmark move for democracy in the digital space, also the tweets are hilarious.
