THUNK vs D.FOE — Mid-terminator. What The Actual F*CK happened to democracy, the rule of law, freedom of expression, and the basic human right to live a life?
A collaboration between musicians D.FOE and THUNK.World platform. Inspired by Marshan Camese's viral testimony at a Louisiana state Senate committee hearing, D.FOE wrote the original track and THUNK added the visual colour. Together, they ask the question so many are asking: What The Actual F*CK happened to democracy, the rule of law, freedom of expression, and the human right to live a life? The world is watching and hoping the people of the United States of America use their collective power to deliver a message no one can ignore.

THUNK vs D.FOE — What Are We Fighting For? (1969 protest anthem, remixed for 2026)
In 1969, Country Joe & The Fish asked the question that shook Woodstock and defined a generation. In 2026, the question won't die. D.FOE flips the legendary Vietnam protest anthem for a world on edge, a sonic indictment of the US/Iran conflict. An incoherent war, run by leaders with no goals, no plan, and no clue. Just soaring prices, escalating fear, and the same old question, louder than ever. THUNK vs D.FOE twist the message into a hypnotic groove. What exactly are we fighting for?

THUNK>ON: Chris Packham interview
Chris took time out of his massively busy schedule to talk to THUNK co-founder Mark Fewell about a new film he’s collaborated on called Greenwashed, and the perilous state we’re in as climate breakdown accelerates - but importantly what we can do about it.
Here’s his top tips
Collective action - societal change can be achieved when just 25% of the population demands it. “We don’t need everyone…it’s only a quarter of us that need to say, enough’s enough”
Financial protest is the most powerful tool - by choosing where we invest our money and spend our money we can effect real change, he says: “The most powerful protest tool that we have is not soup to throw on a painting, or corn starch to throw over a national monument, or glue to glue yourself to a motorway. It’s the pound in your pocket.”
Empowering young people to make decisions can lead to faster progress. “While we have a world being run by post 80-psychotic white males, we’ve got a problem, There’s no question about that”.
Humanity is not a scourge - Chris emphasises human innovation, resilience and creativity can get us out of the mess we’re in. “We are inventive, we are resilient, we’re resourceful, we are creative”.
The problem is Coca Cola - we shouldn’t beat ourselves up over recycling, when the responsibility for plastic waste lies with manufacturers like Coca-Cola. “If you don’t buy it, they can’t sell it and they won’t make it.”
Chris used the analogy of the misunderstood punk rock movement for today’s misrepresented climate activism.
Punk, he says wasn’t just about “spitting, spiky hair and anarchy” but it was fundamentally about “a do-it yourself creativity” and rising up against “a world that was burdened by homophobia, racism and misogyny.”
Chris’ message, overall, is one of hope over adversity. “We’re going through a very rough patch,” he says, but “humans are a remarkable organism.”
And no, we didn’t let Chris go without asking him for his THUNK Punk Playlist… afraid, you’ll need to watch the podcast to find out who’s on it! Enjoy!

THUNK On The Ball
THUNK loves football. What could be simpler and more enjoyable than knocking a ball around with a few pals in the park, on the beach or a patch of dusty scrubland.
World Cup ‘26 is the largest football tournament ever with, more teams, more games, more fans, more carbon, more waste and presided over, it seems, by more-ons. THUNK loves football but is the new format better for the fans, the players and the planet? Probably not.
So what became of ‘Our Beautiful Game’?
In todays frenzied exploitation of football tournaments, leagues, players, merchandise advertising and broadcasting rights, roughly every kick of a ball during the World Cup ‘26 generates a staggering $69,000*
For the first time in its history the World Cup finals will have 48 teams (from 32), which means 104 matches with 3.5 million fans set to attend. While many of these will be local the mind boggles at the additional carbon footprint of the tournament as hundreds of thousands of fans criss cross the host nations.
And what about the planet? Be prepared for plenty of greenwash to justify this lucrative new direction.
