  1. CW: Spoilers (mild) and discussion of murder and bicycles

    Watched the ‘Crocodile’ episode of Black Mirror for the first time last night. It was broadcast in the year that cyclist Tony Parsons was killed (after a hit and run) by two drunk game keepers who covered things up until they didn’t. His bicycle was never found although a key witness desperately tried to find it… in a black comic fugue state.

    If you’ve watched the episode and the Netflix doc about the Parsons case the parallels are VERY spooky. The central characters of both stories have divergent but related arcs (due their different values). At the time of the Black Mirror broadcast in 2017 and until 2020 Parsons was just a missing person…

    Obviously it hits harder if you are an often solo cyclist like me. If I’m killed on the road in a hit and run I hope someone does the right thing because justice is important. But as I have learnt, dishonesty and selfishness are very common in humans. We are all capable of dreadful things, some of which start with a single wrong decision. And a single right decision can make all the difference.

  7. In the Black Mirror episode "Men Against Fire," soldiers are manipulated by neural implants into seeing their targets as monstrous “roaches.” It’s a chilling metaphor for how dehumanization makes violence easier to justify—how perception can be engineered to suppress empathy.

    We might not have implants in our heads, but we're still constantly fed narratives—through news media, films, and even video games like Call of Duty—that shape how we see entire groups of people. Often, they’re cast as the villain, the threat, the other.

    One group that’s been persistently portrayed this way is Muslims. From headlines that link Islam to terrorism to entertainment that uses Muslim characters as stock villains, these patterns have created a distorted image. Over time, it becomes easy to forget that we're talking about real people—people with families, histories, hopes, and beliefs as varied as anyone else’s.

    Just like the soldiers in Men Against Fire, many of us are trained—subtly or overtly—to look past someone’s humanity. And that’s dangerous. Because once we stop seeing people as fully human, anything can be justified.

    The way forward isn’t through more fear, but through understanding. We need to question the stories we’re told, listen more deeply, and seek out voices that aren’t always handed a microphone. Only then can we begin to replace suspicion with empathy—and division with something more human.

  13. Anoche me terminé la serie Shatter Belt (la tenéis en Filmin). Son cuatro episodios de media hora. Rollo Black Mirror pero mucho más sutil y con menos presupuesto. Los cuatro episodios no son igual de buenos, pero aun así merece la pena verla completa. Si queréis empezar por el, según mi escaso criterio, mejor capítulo, ved el de la manzana que nadie puede mover. #ShatterBelt #Filmin #BlackMirror #Series #Episodios #Recomendación #Televisión
