New official report exposes the true scale of Sweden’s organised crime problem – and a recent incident in Poland shows why the “Swedish” label often hides the reality.

There are 50,165 people in the inner core of Sweden’s organised criminal networks. This group is linked to 23% of all crime suspicions in the latest year.

Their wider circle of 224,390 people accounts for 40% of all crime suspicions since 1995.

According to the authorities’ own figures, 60% of the inner core have migrant background: 30% are foreign-born. 49% were born in Sweden to two foreign-born parents

Only 40% are listed as Swedish-born with two Swedish-born parents.

But even that “Swedish” category often does not reflect ethnic Swedish roots.

Just days ago in Gdansk, Poland, four young men aged 17–23 with Swedish passports were arrested for robbing a Norwegian tourist at knifepoint. They forced him to withdraw cash and stole his phone and bank card.

Their names: Mohamad H., Jabril H., Senal Saned O. and Aran Acib A.

Polish media described them as “Swedish youths”.

TOP GUN was released 40 years ago today. One of the definitive 1980s action films, and among the most popular of its star, Tom Cruise, the story behind the scenes will take your breath away…

1/45 Image
In 1983, California Magazine published an article detailing the life of U.S. Airforce pilots at the Miramar base. Hollywood producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson thought it had the basis for a great movie, and Paramount Pictures agreed to fund the film.

Having been turned down by numerous screenwriters, Bruckheimer and Simpson hired writing team Jim Cash and Jack Epps Jr to pen a screenplay. For research, the writers attended several Top Gun classes and flew in an F-14 jet.

Do you know when you realize you have a big account?

When you stop feeling the need to reply after answering just a few comments.

So how will the post keep growing? 👇
Thread 3 🧵 Image

What is a reply chain?

A reply chain is the moment people start talking to each other under your post.

And this is one of the biggest signals.

Because at that point, you’ve already taken off. The plane is now gliding in the air without burning extra fuel.

It keeps your post’s momentum alive even when you’re offline.Image
2/3

Another effect of reply chains is ad placement.

In fact, that’s where ads are placed the most.

In the past, the owner of a reply inside the chain could also earn money from the ads shown there, but this was removed in 2024.

Now the entire revenue goes to the original post owner.Image

Just asked the Balanced Scorecard question about proto founders and startups.

🔐 Big unlock: helps moving forward
🌊 Provides metrics to assess against GitHub Repo
🔭 Can assess progress and potential

🧵👇
👍 It's a recognised, useful and proven method
📏 How is Project Engine doing, on a scorecard?
💰 Financial: Has potential, but not started yet
💵 Customer: Low value, low volume suggests Wild Mushroom, not Unicorn. Will need more automation.

🧵👇
👥 Internal: Solo grinder for now, so needs effective internal process design. Definite signs of progress over 12 months
📈 Growth: Founder is a life long learner, a big plus. Steps 1&2 are functional, but require gaming and security. Step 3 in progress.

Every few months, the BBC comes out with another big investigation into smuggling.

Each individually may be interesting, but as a whole, how much BBC resource on this one question?

None ever result in sensible policy change to provide asylum seekers with safe alternatives ofc🤷‍♀️
Very little of the coverage tends to look at the experiences asylum seekers have fled, very little space is given to a conversation about why global displacement isn’t going away & how it could better be managed…

It all seems like a lot of effort to keep fanning the flames of the same old culture war tbh.
I’d love to work with the BBC on a piece about the bigger picture we’re part of on migration, and what the real sustainable solutions for managing migration better are.

Over the years I’ve pitched all sorts of ideas for podcasts, series, etc. they never go anywhere.

But undercover footage of another smuggler promising homeless & desperate people a way to the uk? They lap it up at least once a year 🤷‍♀️
