The Age of Earthquakes by Hans Ulrich Obrist describes this, and that was published 9 years ago. I referenced it in the final part of my MA and it forms the jumping off point for my PhD.

We’re stopping off for a few hours in The Faroes later in 2025. I’m well aware of the horrible practice of killing pilot whales.
If you have a spare hour, I’d really recommend watching ‘The Island and The Whales’ documentary.

It’s the political equivalent of ‘coercive control’ and if successful, ‘domestic abuse’ and it needs to be framed that way.

I liked the brevity of Bravermans, but the opening line of David Frosts entry deserves a special mention, and never has a truer word been penned about Owen Jones.

X still has a poisonous reach with real world consequences. If it wasn’t X though it’d be somewhere else. The very nature of the tech infrastructure behind almost all of our social media is the smoking gun.

The algorithms are designed to push ‘outrage’ as outrage promotes engagement, and engagement floats your stock. It’s insidious. No other industry is allowed to sell product without testing or safeguards.

If RFK Jr doesn’t get Senate approval it feeds into the anti-state narrative. It’s a calculated win for Trump Caesar either way.
