London based filmmaker working on folk horror, weird shit, punk sci-fi satire and stuff that exudes a cosmic darkness. Progressive humane human. Obsessed with phantasmagoria, perpetually dreich. Sometimes a numpty, always the odd one out. He/him.

I cannot wait for the insights on this! He's going to:
1. Sample some local street food.
2. Ride a train.
3. Visit a temple.
4. Not mention the pogroms that the serving Prime Minister presided over.
5. Smile at some elephants.
6. Top up his kids' private school fees.
7. Say "India is changing".
Can't wait until we're all using a different social media platform, to be honest. I'm absolutely sick to death of these immoral creeps playing such a massive part in our lives.

Also, I think there's a lot that needs to be said about how American communities rally around an extremists during a crisis, especially post 2016.

Iran-Contra happened 40 years ago! It *literally* involved the US selling weapons to... Iran.
So, the argument is we were funding the armed forces of a country we were at war with?
This is the point. If your vaunted trillion-dollar military can't get through a few days of airstrikes because you've consolidated the industrial base so badly, then you don't have a trillion-dollar military, you just have contractors in No. Virginia getting rich

Things are changing. Fast

there's no way to read this article unless you install a vpn
the problem with the osa: all any tech platform has to do is mark something as 'adult content' and it automatically gets censored
this puts censorship powers in the hands of big tech
