Media shapes politics
Freedom of speech and diversity of opinion guarantee
plurality of interests and political positions.
The democratic process of forming opinion
requires society's consent.
Consent is reached by public discussion.
And since media images increasingly determine
which stories and topics are covered and discussed,
the media indirectly influence politics.
An eye-opening text I found on an exhibition in Berlin.
A feminist revolution always starts somewhere
- E-mail people
- Start discussions
- Spread information via social media
- Stop consume media that oppress people
- Demand change
- Be active and speak up for your rights!
Jamie Woon - Night Air
Daylight fills my heart with sadness
And only silent skies can sooth me
Feel that night air flowing through me
Heat of the nite
Check out an obsessive girl with her boyfriend in Vegas looking freaky in front of slot machines and flashing neon lights. It's beautiful, quite crazy and I can reveal that the ending takes a slightly unforeseen turn. ENJOY!

Extreme body control/Alors on danse
You've got one body, and unlike my laptop battery, it is not replaceable.
That's one big reason for you to take the control of it. Actually what I decided today is to take an extreme control of it, because I just realized that it's possible to do so. You can make a cool move with every single joint of your body, so use it! You're encapsulated in it. Love it. Control it.
Alors on danse...
Stromae knows what he's talking about.
Perfection can never be achieved
Everything will always remain incomplete and far from perfect. Especially people. No one will ever become perfect, neither on the inside, nor the outside. The body is an organic composition of living cells which constantly are affected by the wear and tear of surroundings and thoughts. Something that sooner or later will break completely and moulder, rot or crumble to dust. This can also happen mentally as well.
-Yet another glitch!
Likewise with computers, machines, all living organisms, thoughts, ideas... Nothing is complete. Tell me, is there perfection?
No. I've just come to the conclusion that it doesn't exist, in case there isn't a higher purpose for our existsce; God. Unfortunatly, our modern soceity has embraced marxistic ideas of a life without God, meaning or goal. And just how happy are we?
BUT. Things don't have to be perfect to be beautiful. There are, despite shaky evidence, proofs that the world contains much beauty.
We'll either be world famous or goddamned dead
"Everybody needs a little devastation!"
"...what if your religion turns out to be a cruel joke and you're fucked beyond all hope?"
"So open up your chest and let the birds free. So meet me under the deserted desert tree. We'll eat sand crumpets and drink cactus tea, we'll pretend this dirt is sea"
