This from the Gibson interview I posted in another thread is something I've never really thought about, but which I have noticed now that I think about it:
"Few phrases were as common throughout the 20th century as “the 21st century,” yet how often do we see “the 22nd century”? Effectively, never."
In year 7 documentary they made us watch a video of a little girl drown to death. A good 10 minutes of her being trapped and people trying to rescue her, realising she was a lost cause and then just letting her be submerged.
Yeah when it came out. I'd forgotten how much of it was about Islam. Really interesting stuff about Assad, Syria, Kissinger intentionally fucking it all up in the 70s and instilling nihilism in a once well meaning ruler and how that relates to what happened in Russia. The Surkov stuff is only the last 20min, but fuck me. Why are we even wondering whats going on? It's all there
Was that one of those health and safety videos? We had to watch stuff like that and also went to some centre where they showed us how to respond to a traffic accident, why you shouldn't play around unsupervised on farms and stuff. We had to watch a video of a kid being buried alive in a grain silo, a kid being impaled on the back of a tractor and a kid drowning in some sort of slurry pit. The last one was particularly disturbing.
Think about what's more likely
Spacey. Good one. I have no clue what's going on there. He's gone off the deep end entirely.
its a good formula for threads. it might be overkill to do more, but it does seem to strike the right balance of contentiousness; controversial enough to get people engaged but silly enough for nobody to get upset.
