Sorry, is optimism an obligation?

More extreme weather, some of our most important farmlands becoming unproductive to an extent not seen before.

Looks like meat famine’s back on the menu boys!

The VRT gives us another great case of how framing works in our media. In the Dutch version of the website, the news is categorized as ‘regional news’ which means it’s reach is a lot less on the website, even though they state themselves that there are actions going on in other regions too. The Dutch title is also mentions the ‘damaging of buildings’ while the English version and the RTBF one just mention them being blockaded.

Sardonis, where are the days! De Mens is a fixture in my playlists, love 'em!

I’ll start with this one: Ghentian jazzy prog-rock from the seventies, Kandahar - Eyes of Glass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iV4IhD-kRU

We’re on a crossroads in history where we’re deciding that doing something against climate change is too hard, we’ll just fight for it. Probably Mad Max style, but think of the shareholder value!
