  1. #AdamCurtis should definitely make again narrated #documentaries instead of that collage of unnarrated nonsense 🤷

  4. ARENA HYPERNORMALISATION
    Pull images and text from are.na to make a strangely familiar documentary critique of late capitalism.
    Good for full screen ambient displays, or just staring into the void.
    Just hit go.

    #AdamCurtis is one of the best.
    Have you seen the 3-part series #CenturyOfTheSelf ? It's brilliant!

    Follow the hashtag if you haven't. I posted it a few years ago

  6. CW: UK Politics / Privatisation

    Watching episode 4 of #adamcurtis ‘s ‘Shifty’.

    I hadn’t realised the concept of #privatisation was invented in the 1930s by the Nazis.

    You may want to remind any Tory (radicalised or common-or-garden) who knocks your door of that fact this week.

  7. Ergänzend zur Lektüre von #EvaVonRedecker|s »Dieser Drang nach Härte« (2026) gönne mir heute den ersten Teil — »F**k You Buddy« — des Doku-Dreiteilers »The Trap« von #AdamCurtis, BBC 2007.

    Die anderen beiden Teilen heißen »The Lonely Robot« und »We Will Force You To be Free«.

  10. #AdamCurtis: ‘#AI is not the future. It’s the final end of the past. It’s the moment at which the past came for us.’ (Hat tip to @emkingma.)

  11. "Shifty is a series of films that traverse the past 40 years in Britain, showing how the shift of political power to finance and hyper-individualism came together in powerful ways, to undermine one of the fundamental structures of mass democracy–the shared idea of what is real."

  12. "Someone pointed out to me the other day that when you watch comedy shows on YouTube, you're listening to the laughter of the dead most of the time. It's a haunting."

    Last year I posted a piece on the future of television, arguing that if it has a future, it's in live broadcasting;

    disintermedia.net.nz/a-future-

    A TV channel as locally curated platform for livestreams, combining the "pretentious shit, and trash" as Curtis put it, as they've always done.

  13. "And if I was going to write a ghost story of now, I would do it about that, we are haunted ... Which makes me suspect - for which I have no evidence at all - that AI is not the future, it's the final end of the past. It's the moment at which the past came for us. We will have to escape from it."

    I've read and heard a *lot* of commentary on the cult of #MOLE Training, and this is the most insightful so far.
