Meet Markers
For the next step in the Ethical Revolution, we are learning about markers, or labels, that denote more ethical products. Sam goes through a bunch he thinks "you can probably trust" with a short blurb on each describing what they cover, and their limitations. Some are UK-specific. Of the international ones, there is B Corp, Cradle to Cradle, Cruelty Free, FairTrade Foundation, Fair Tax Mark, Forest Stewardship Council, Global Organic Textiles Standard, Orangutan Alliance, PETA-Approved, Rainforest Alliance, TCO Certified (for IT products). Although noting some labelling schemes may amount to greenwashing, Sam didn't name names on those.

TCO Certified was most interesting to me because I had not heard of any certification for IT products before. It is quite new. Interesting that there are many different models of computer from major brands certified, but the only smartphone are is the Fairphone. tcocertified.com/product-finde…

A video about our first few days on the road in our motorhome: videos.trom.tf/w/5XT3pQdsFVQmR…
Here we went from Estartit, Spain, to Delta de l'Ebre. Unfortunately we lost a bunch of footage and didn't have the best experience in the big delta, but this was only the start of our journey :)

We have started our journey and lost most of our footage.... - videos.trom.tf/w/5XT3pQdsFVQmR…
These are the first days on the road for us, and the experience was not the best. We went to Deltebre, a very weird place...we were so happy to move away from it. But we also experienced some nice other places on the way there.

How do you recover from corporate burn out?
I realized I hit a wall at work after I spent 2 weeks spontaneously gagging during meetings. Things are worse than I care to admit.
I'm so burnt out I don't even know who I am anymore. I feel like I put my head down in August and lost 7 months to 60h work weeks. Everything is blurry.
How do you recover?
Dat ons extreemrechtse kabinet geen enkel probleem heeft met een PVV staatssecretaris die haar master bij elkaar heeft gefraudeerd, dat verbaast niemand.
Maar WTF, waarom geeft Erasmus University Rotterdam haar de kans om een nieuwe scriptie te schrijven?
Dit is geen satire, de helft van haar scriptie bestaat echt uit plagiaat.
Satire is dood in dit land. Hoe valt hier nog een grap van te maken, of iets aan te overdrijven? Je kunt wel proberen om er de spot mee te drijven, maar de werkelijkheid is gewoon nog erger.
Vicky Maeijer schrijft dat het feit dat ze fraude heeft gepleegd (en niet zo'n beetje ook) "een enorme klap voor haar persoonlijk" is.
De Calimero-fasciste schrijft verder dat ze de scriptie graag eh, over wil schrijven, omdat ze toen ze stiekem andere scripties overschreef ook al zo graag haar papiertje wilde halen met "hard werken volgens de regels", alleen eh, had eh, IEMAND daarbij "grote fouten gemaakt". "Een enorme klap"!

Super impressed with @CalyxOS ! We moved to a new phone and restored the backups - pretty much everything worked great. All restored. Apps and data. All because of how easy it is to use Calyx. Many many thanks for this fantastic trade-free operating system. I love it!

« La réalisation du socialisme ne sera pas possible à moins que la nouvelle ère ne détruise la culture dominée par les hommes, profondément ancrée dans la société. Le socialisme peut être atteint par la libération des femmes. (...) La question des femmes est un problème plus profond que la question kurde. Nous n'en sommes qu'au début. La culture de la guerre et du conflit reste principalement dirigée contre les femmes. Repousser cette culture dans une certaine mesure doit être le moteur de la lutte. »
Message d'Abdullah Öcalan pour la Journée internationale des femmes, ANF News-, 8 mars 2025

I rarely see such articles:
"Enough with unicorns and dinosaurs – show children the magic of real, living animals instead" - theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Congrats. We need more of these! And TROMnews is meant to bring such articles to light.
The real world is many times more mindblowing than any movie, book, or story humans have invented. Not to mention it is real. If we want people to care about it, then they have to know about it. Expose children to real wonders, real stories, real life.

I feel like most of the documentaries about society are rather depressing or too complex for kids to understand the nuances. I don't want any little kids to get traumatized by watching war documentaries and such lol 😅
And yeah I was thinking of making something I can recommend to parents as well for their kids.
