USA - promoting fascism worldwide
Marco Rubio praises European nations Hungary and Slovakia who are both deep in Putin’s pocket and suppressing democracy in their respective countries. A worldwide fascist alliance is taking shape. Disgusting 🚫

Southern Spain: mountains, palm trees, white houses and clouds in the sky

Southern Spain: mountains, palm trees, white houses and clouds in the sky

Will we Europeans miss California? This picture that I took in southern Spain is my answer. We have all the nice landscapes and climate zones we need here. And this is just one of many things. We'll be just fine in a future without fascist, unreliable USA.

Trump’s Mental Decline Is a Danger to Us All
Trump’s Mental Decline Is a Danger to Us All YouTube video by Robert Reich

Donald Trump’s mental decline has gotten worse.

Why is the media only barely starting to report on it?

And why won’t they ask who’s really making the decisions in the White House? www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQHL...

Spotify wrapped? No thanks!
Here's a simple way how to really support artists:
1. Attend live shows
2. Buy music at live shows, at music stores or at Bandcamp
Thank you and see you out there!

Endurance, by The Foreign Resort track by The Foreign Resort

ENDURANCE

Hold on tight
While the fire’s burning
Stand up and fight
Don’t let them get to you
This is not right
You see yourself outnumbered
We stand together
Enduring the fire

Listen at Bandcamp - theforeignresort.bandcamp.com/track/endura...

Anyone who still believes criticizing Spotify is “old man yells at cloud”?
Let’s just say, there are plenty of reasons to quit Spotify and there are plenty of alternative platforms to listen to music.
Be a decent human being and cancel your Spotify subscription today.

This comment is one of the reasons why Israel sees it as its right to perform genocide on the Palestinian people. And now also planning ethnic cleansing. Israel must be stopped and my support goes out to everyone across the world who demonstrates against this murder state. (Original comment on FB)

Great day at NCN Festival yesterday. I had the opportunity to assist doing sound for Ash Code at Park Bühne. Thanks so much to the pro sound engineer who made them sound really powerful! Yet another proof that we can achieve good things when we work together.

After a 3 year break I finally got back to swimming. Felt good with a 45 minute uninterrupted swim today. My arms and legs feel weird, but I feel great!
(See you this weekend at NCN - Nocturnal Culture Night!)

Article by Orit Kamir, an Israeli professor of law, comparing Gaza to the Jewish ghetto in Poland during WWII:
“…in 2025, the Israeli army, on orders from the political echelon, is destroying Gaza and exterminating its population.[..] Like then.”

Very motivating to see how Canadians are boycotting goods from the USA. We made sure to only drink local Canadian beer and eating at Canadian diners. The bond between Europe & Canada should be strengthened to form a coalition of democratic countries excluding authoritarian and suppressive states.

Subkultfestivalen dag 3 – synth, goth, punk och paranormala fenomen | HYMN

In Swedish about our show at Subkultfestivalen: “Även som liveband är The Foreign Resort en kraft att räkna med. Här finns en nerv och en urkraft som särskiljer dem. På en lite större scen med bättre ljudanläggning hade de verkligen kommit till sin rätt.”

For Trump, a military conflict with Iran would distract from:
-Sinking poll numbers
-A devastating (and unpopular) budget bill
-Harmful trade wars
-Unleashing the military on American soil
-Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism
