😂 I very much could be wrong!

The book read like an allegory for the war on terror. The powers granted to secret/covert agencies at that time, to lock people up without demonstrating evidence or trial. I’m not sure the story feels so pertinent to whats happening now.

‘Nobody believes in the future any more’: Adam Curtis and Ari Aster on how to wake up from the post-truth nightmare Paranoia is exploited to control us. Movies are groomed to flatter us. And trauma has been twisted to make us blame ourselves. How can we make sense of our lives? The two film-makers try to navigate the chaos

‘Nobody believes in the future any more’: Adam Curtis and Ari Aster on how to wake up from the post-truth nightmare

A thing of beauty 😮‍💨

Our actual enemies *and* the BBC’s commercial rivals hate everything that makes it important & valuable. (And they don’t help themselves much these days in all sorts of ways.)
But this is a crucial test of the current government’s resolve.

They are arguing, endlessly, that illegally inciting acts of terror online is ‘free speech’ while silencing dissent, targeting journalists & telling an invaded ally what he is & is not allowed to say during a live television broadcast are all fine.

It's been obvious since January 6 that he was an enemy of the USA, the UK & the whole of the free world. Everybody still in his camp understands this as completely as everybody against it. They just prioritise personal interest over the national & international. And they know it. They all know it.

He is not just appeasing Putin, he is aligned with him. And every single client journalist, political shill & public/online cheerleader on both sides of the Atlantic is too. Against Zelensky. Against Ukraine. Against freedom. Against the most basic tenets of decency.

What a game that was!

4-0 on Saturday

MATCHDAY in Southampton. Come on, Albion! ✊

Can we just appreciate the staff at Drusillas for what they chose to name their penguins. #BHAFC

Druscilla’s named their penguins after our 2023 squad, you’ll never sing that!

Trump blames Ukraine for Russia invasion: ‘These are the Kremlin’s talking points’ In a press conference from his Mar-a-Lago home, Donald Trump has said Ukraine is to blame for Russia’s invasion, and that it shouldn’t be represented at peace talks with Vladimir Putin.

"There will come a moment where the West has to say to Donald Trump, sorry, you're just spouting what Putin thinks, and we can't allow this to happen."

But when will that be?

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

The touch 😯
The finish 😱

Someone on Twitter writes: "Unfortunately die work wear or whatever is a psyop to turn men into women . Cuz why the hell else would he be telling them to dress that gay"

The year is 2035. I meet President AOC in the Oval Office. "You've done well," she says. "By telling men to dress gay, you've lowered the population rate by 90%, thereby reducing carbon emissions." She slides me a manilla envelope. I can now afford a home in a walkable neighborhood
