The Adam Curtis Magazine Experience | Robert Hutton | The Critic Magazine Yes, it’s Adam Curtis time again, as the British left’s favourite conspiracy theorist once again pulls archive clips out of a hat to prove that the freemasons staged the moon landings in order to…

This by @roberthutton.co.uk is the cleverest and funniest thing I’ve read this month thecritic.co.uk/the-adam-cur...

Deep down everyone over 35 just wants Lord Reith to tell them what to do, even if they don’t know it… ? 🤷‍♂️

The best response to something like this was someone on twitter and came back with "I see you all got mad, I was out having a picnic with my bf and won't read any of this, hope you had as much fun as I did"

Very fair from Stanley Tucci here

I’m stealing his lamb chop recipe too ❤️

Your joke on a tube board.

Donald Trump has dedicated his life in politics with single-minded ferocity to one luminous goal: the utter and final destruction of the weekly magazine

Cruel and unusual punishment for all @economist.com staff today

Interesting piece for any comms professionals. The challenge is always to get engagement and cut through at scale tho

I want to be @mariephillips.bsky.social’s dad

It's just so boring.

Mike Creighton was a wonderful person and colleague. This is such sad news

Very sorry to hear of the sudden death of Mike Creighton, a friend and comrade and much loved by all who worked with him in Labour.
