The Page Isn’t Dead, Your Attention Is Under Siege
Every few years we are invited to attend the same funeral. Someone declares that nobody reads anymore, that the printed page is finished, that books are an aging technology destined to become a museum object while the living culture migrates to earbuds and short video. It is a tempting story because it flatters our sense that we are witnessing a clean break with the past, a decisive turn of the wheel.

"Natuurlijk kan zo’n Europese troepenmacht de Amerikaanse militaire macht niet weerstaan. Maar dat is het punt niet. Het doel is om de Amerikanen te tonen: jullie willen vazallen van ons maken, en wij pikken dat niet langer. Geen statements, maar daadkracht."

Column | Stuur Europese troepen naar Groenland
Het moment is gekomen waarop Europa moet laten zien dat het bereid is zijn grondgebied te verdedigen. De Europese respons op Donald Trumps claim op Groenland kan er maar één zijn: troepen sturen, laten zien dat je je niet laat intimideren en dat je geopolitiek denkt en handelt. Europeanen, die na tachtig jaar vrede dachten dat ze nooit meer oorlog zouden voeren, moeten dringend naar een andere…

Just finished "It's Lonely at the Center of the Earth" by Zoe Thorogood.
CW: Frank/graphic discussion of suicide and depression (not in this post but in the book).
It feels a bit wrong to simply give it my review here as I would another graphic memoir, because it's much more personal and less consensual than the usual. It feels less like Thorogood has invited us into her life than like she was forced to put her life on display in order to survive, and while I selfishly like to read into the book that she benefited in some way from the process, she's honest about how tenuous and sometimes false that claim can be. Knowing what I've learned from this book about Thorogood's life and demons, I don't want her to feel the mortification of being perceived by me, and so perhaps the best thing I could do is to simply unread the book and pull it back out of my memories.
I did not find Thorogood's life relatable, nor pitiable (although my instinct bends in that direction), but instead sacred and unknowable. I suspect that her writing and drawing has helped others in similar circumstances, but she leaves me with no illusion that this fact brings her any form of peace or joy. I wonder what she would feel reading "Lab Girl" or "The Deep Dark," but she has been honest enough to convey that such speculation on my part is a bit intrusive.
I guess the one other thing I have to say: Zoe Thorogood has through artistic perseverance developed an awe-inspiring mastery of the comic medium, from panel composition, through to page layout and writing. This book wields both Truth and Beauty.

Op BS brengt Micheal Persson even z'n column van 25 januari '25 in herinnering.
Grote vraag is wat we in de tussentijd gedaan hebben.
T meest springt wel in t ook de NLse kroonjuwelen van de overheid (data) in de Amerikaanse cloud gestald. 🙈
Maar vooral dat project 2025 en de gevolgen vooral compleet genegeerd zijn.

Washington's cap-and-invest auctions have raised billions now funding transit, heat pumps, and clean energy projects. Japan is activating multi-trillion-yen green finance for resilience and transition. China commissioned a 1 GW floating solar farm paired with aquaculture.
Policy meets practice, at scale.

Fujifilm NEOPAN SS (FF) English Alt Text: A monochrome city sidewalk scene under an elevated roadway. At the center is a large, rectangular stack of metal chairs or frames, neatly arranged. Two people are visible: one stands on the left, looking down at a phone; the other walks away on the right, carrying items. A cyclist rides in the background. Trees, buildings, and streetlights frame the urban setting. The image captures a moment of quiet motion and industrial symmetry. 中文替代文字： 这是一张黑白城市街景照…

Fujifilm NEOPAN SS (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo of a weathered brick wall with electrical cables running along the top and side. Near the bottom left corner, a printed sign in Chinese is affixed to the wall. The sign politely asks people not to draw water from this location and directs them to a nearby manhole. A phone number is listed. The cables suggest urban infrastructure, and the wall’s texture adds a gritty, utilitarian feel. The scene evokes a quiet, practical moment i…

So far I've done the cranberry sauce and the pots are nearly boiling. I've remembered YPs, both GF and standard, and I'm going to run out to the supermarket as I'm not convinced that my bun tin is scrupulously clean, although I probably haven't used it since I bought it new for GF YPs last Christmas 😄 I've remembered red cabbage too so everything else I planned to do today will have to wait!

A kilner jar with scrolly writing moulded in the glass (Le Parfait), nearly full of cooling cranberry sauce.
Three jars of cooling cranberry sauce on a windowsill: big for the greedygorps, medium for my coeliac daughter who always has dedicated food put aside, and a small jar for my mum. Yes our windows are filthy. How do you avoid that with a sink right in front of them?

Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (6x6) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo showing a dense web of barbed wire in the foreground, tangled and chaotic. Behind it, modern high-rise buildings with clean lines and geometric shapes rise into the sky. The contrast between the sharp, twisted wire and the orderly architecture evokes themes of confinement versus freedom, or security versus openness. The wire dominates the lower half of the image, while the buildings loom in the background, partially obscured. …

In the foreground, a streetlight with four lamps arranged in a cross pattern stands prominently, providing a sense of scale. The sky is overcast, casting a muted tone across the scene. On the right side, part of a leafy tree is visible, adding a natural element to the otherwise industrial setting. The crane do…

Trees and buildings form the backdrop, though their details are obscured. The photo has a textured overlay, possibly from aged film or print damage, adding a vintage and abstract quality.
