"More time and fun: more puppies, less pay-per-view". Videos to point you beyond (sometimes way beyond) the everyday grind
One of this project’s great friends, Vinay Gupta, tweeted this week - in a broadside against overconsumption as the world’s greatest ill - that we need “more time and more fun: more puppies, less pay-per-view”.
We may not manage puppies in this post, but we take this as permission to gather together those videos that activists send each other to keep their essential spirits up. Call them “inspirational” (or “desperational”), but here they are. First above is Yoann Bourgeois (yes, we know), mastering both stairs and gravity.
