the medium, itself, is the psyop

Rob (Robert Nevitt) and I are seeking the identity of the traffic warden in THREADS for a documentary on the film. If you know who played this iconic character or have any leads for us, we’d love to hear from you. Please email [email protected] with any information. Thanks!

There's no earthly way of knowing- *beep beep* Which direction we are going- *beep beep beep* There's no knowing where we're rowing- *beep BEEP BEEP beep* Or which way the river's flowi- *BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP*

The actions of the far right this weekend will vary hugely both in size and nature, and the manner in which the information is being released makes estimating numbers at each event challenging. 🚨 However, we have seen a small number which show clear violent intent…

I'll be at QED on the 19th -20th this month. Very excited to both be on a panel talking about the internet and extremism, and to deliver a seasonably spooky talk on how formalist analysis of horror can explain how we're in the mess we are now (and can't get out).

Next four speakers: Robin Ince on neurodiversity, Dr Idz on nutritional misinformation, Dr. Joe Ondrak on fact, fiction, social media and horror And @Jenny_Radcliffe on logic and emotion

And we're off! The wonderful @siandocksey getting us started. The live stream is up and running and streaming tickets are still available at qedcon.org.
