There's a reason why sports teams don't chant "I believe that we will lose" before a game, a reason so obvious that I'm pretty sure it needs no explanation. Which is why it makes my head explode when people surrender in advance verbally, which they do all the time about politics.

Podcast om pressefotograf Jan Grarups mange løgne er både gruopvækkende og medrivende. Men man savner en redaktør, skriver Rasmus Elmelund i denne anmeldelse.

Gaza er blevet navnet på en moralsk katastrofe for Vesten. Med inspiration fra den svenske avis Aftonbladet har Information i denne uge bragt en række fotografier af de rædselsvækkende realiteter i Gaza og konfronteret en række danske politikere med dem. Flere politikere takkede nej til at deltage.

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.
Escalating to escalate.

Like countless others, I’m currently considering leaving Facebook and Instagram.

First of all, it seems unsustainable to spend time on platforms that not only profit every time I use them, but have also become weapons in a political battle with the American president at the center.

Yesterday I attended an international protest against the shipping company Mærsk, which is based here in Copenhagen. Protesters from across Europe barricaded the headquarter, protesting Mærsk’s involvement in shipping goods for the Israeli army.

I'm spending too much time thinking about how to get away from Meta and all their cronies. As an independent photographer, it's really hard.

This article describes an approach that I've tried before and might return to. Have you own website, spread the love from there.

Another picture from Amager Fælled from a few years back. Where this 'standoff' took place there's now construction going on. Or actually, the company building the houses just went bankrupt, so right now it's wonderfully quiet.
