On ‘Minnesota’, Trond Kallevåg is joined by a crack Norwegian trio. It’s a deft, creative, and playful recording, marked by mesmerising violin, intuitive interplay, and wonderfully dynamic soundscapes performed at the highest level. It’s also a joy to listen to. klofmag.com/2025/10/tron...

"Disrupt" is code for "Destroy reliable established services so that money previously widely distributed now funnels into a single source." Just like "AI" is code for "Mine the work humans did in the past so we don't have to pay them for their work in the future." That's why VCs like both words.
“Disrupt” is a very Silicon Valley word. Every time I see it crop up in a business-case, my bullshit-detection hackles go up.
