Norsery Rhymes from A to Z Drifa, The Flurry of Snow Well here we are on another ThorsDay with another 20 min sketch of a Norse (and Germanic, sometimes Celtic) mythological characters.  This week it’s Drifa / Drífa / Driva of the Jotnar (Jotun / Jotunn / Jetten / Eoten / Giant). A Frost Giant.

His name means in Old Norse, ‘snowfall’, or ‘a flurry of snow’, or 'fall of snow', or 'snowdrift', or ‘the driving snow’.  All indicating a heavy snowfall. Al from the Proto European ‘dhreybh’ meaning ‘driving’ or ‘drifting’.

Not to be confused with the daughter of Snær both a personification of snow, and Scandinavian king, with her brother, Thori / Þorri and their two sisters, Mjǫll and Fǫnn. And not to be confused with the mythic horse of the same name. Both of which I’ll be sketching a version of in the coming weeks.

About this version there is little know about him except his name. It’s possible he’s just a misunderstanding, where the feminine aspect of the name Drifa was lost but the Jotun aspect remained.

Norsery Rhymes from A to Z Bradingi, The Burning One Well here we are on another Thors-day and with another 20 min sketch of a Norse (and Germanic, sometimes Celtic) mythological characters.  This week it’s Bradingi (Bradgengi) of the Jotnar (Jotun/Jotunn/Jetten/Giant). The Burning one. Like many other giants he can be seen as an elemental spirit. He is considered a personification of fire. Listed among the Jotnar. His name is also thought to possibly be a younger version of the name Bradgengi meaning the follower or companion. Which could indicate him as a fire that follows.

Bradingi, he’s so hot right now.

Norsery Rhymes from A to Z Bjorgolfr, The Mountain Wolf, V4 Well here we are on another TyrsDay with another 20 min sketch of a Norse (and Germanic, sometimes Celtic) mythological characters.  This week it’s Bjorgolfr / Bjorgolfer of the Jotnar (Jotun/Jotunn/Jetten/Eoten/Giant) again. He’s likely a Bergrisar (Mountain Giant). I wanted to take a second and final crack for a while, crack at depicting a more fantastical version to illustrate the scale of giants. A wolf that is the actual mountain. His name meaning Mountain Wolf is about all we know of this guy.

Miljoenen Nederlanders geconfronteerd met extreme stijging van energierekening. Waar stopt de klimaatwaanzin?

De Tweede Kamer heeft definitief ingestemd met de Klimaatwet. Met die wet moet de uitstoot van broeikasgassen worden teruggebracht, zodat de wereldwijde temperatuurstijging ruim beneden de twee graden blijft, zo is de gedachte.

In 2050 moet de uitstoot van broeikasgassen met 95 procent zijn teruggebracht ten opzichte van 1990.

Het kabinet moet jaarlijks met concrete plannen en een klimaatbegroting laten zien hoe dat gerealiseerd kan worden.

Extreme stijgingen

De FvD stemde als één van de weinige partijen tegen de wet. De partij vreest dat de kosten te veel zullen oplopen en twijfelt aan het effect van de maatregelen op het klimaat.

De afgelopen twee weken werden miljoenen Nederlanders geconfronteerd met extreme stijgingen van hun energierekening. Dit is pas het begin van de klimaatwaanzin, aldus de FvD.

Tijdens het debat over de wet kwam FvD-leider Thierry Baudet tegenover D66-leider Rob Jetten te staan.

Eerlijk allemaal arm

“Hoeveel mogen Nederlanders maximaal gaan betalen? 50 procent van hun inkomen? Tachtig procent? Negentig procent?” vroeg hij.

Hoe lang hij ook doorvroeg, hij kreeg maar geen antwoord op zijn vraag.

“Iedereen vindt dat het klimaatbeleid op een eerlijke manier moet worden ingericht,” stelde Jetten. Waarop Baudet zei: “Eerlijk allemaal arm.”
