From Jean Baudrillard’s ‘The Evil Demon of Images’:

‘It is precisely when it appears most truthful and most in conformity to reality that the image is most diabolical…’

‘There is … a seduction, a force of diversion and distortion. There is a kind of fatal strategy of conformity.’

Psychlo killer: Battlefield Earth 25 years on Scientology's spectacular flop went down in history for all the wrong reasons. A quarter-century on, what went wrong?

It’s 25 years since a signed sci-fi book shoved into a young John Travolta’s mailbox hit the big screen, powered by Scientology.

So how come we’re not eating popcorn out of novelty e-meters?

Mexican-Japanese fusion should be a disaster – but Los Mochis pulls it off The collision of Mexican and Japanese cuisine sounds like a recipe for culinary chaos. But as Liam Murphy discovers at Los Mochis, Markus Thesleff and Leonard Tanyag are proving that, with precision, ...

No soy-drenched totopos. No sashimi tacos.
