I've been playing Not for Broadcast lately and the news looks really different to me now. Reminds me of how it used to feel switching over after The Day Today and catching the last ten minutes of the 9 O'clock News.

Or play Robocop 3 on the Amiga (it was one of the earliest open World simulators.)

Now this is cancel culture: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2022/feb/22/whitworth-gallery-director-alistair-hudson-forced-out-over-palestinian-statement quote:The director of the Whitworth Art Gallery is being asked to leave his post by the University of Manchester, after a row when a statement of solidarity with Palestine’s “liberation struggle” was removed from an exhibition of works by a human rights investigations agency. This is related to the Forensic Architecture row from last year. I have the Forensic Architecture book - had it for 4 years, still not managed to finish reading it as I get so angry - not with the book but in what it shows of the way one particular country gets special treatment (which is anti-semitic surely) on various technical matters around GPS and so forth.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:... the group had “pointed out to the university that the director of the Whitworth Art Gallery had falsely assured the vice-chancellor that they had established the accuracy and legalities of the work presented in the Forensic Architecture exhibition”. Maybe I'm missing something, but why would there be a need to establish anything about a piece of work going to exhibit?

If they are saying that Israeli cops murdered a bedouin and then lied about it, then they really should back it up with facts. Which I trust they did. But those kinds of facts are bad for Israel!

It's so surreal seeing all the war fever in the press over a conflict that we're not involved in and aren't going to get involved in. All this breathless, pompous posturing: it's like a bizarre piece of performance art.

All the press does is try to conjure emotive reactions in people so they keep paying attention to it, there isn't really a difference between confected outrage about biscuit genders and anything else they report on, other than some differences in the intended audience.

"Horror map shows EXACT effect on house prices if Russia nukes people you're ambivalent about on any other day." I guess it beats the Telegraph's bizarre civil war about wood burners over the past weeks.

All this breathless, pompous posturing: it's like a bizarre piece of performance art. All out war? No probably not but its going to effect things like petrol and gas prices. Economy overall will take a hit and we know full well who the tories shift that burden onto. I can totally see Putin giving a green light to incredibly large number of hacker groups in the country to go after what ever they want too.

The disconnect between the news media screeching “ITS WAR!!!” and the government shrugging and maybe, possibly freezing a couple of long dead bank accounts is loving surreal.

The newspapers aren't talking about gas prices and hackers tho: they're talking about Putin dropping nukes on us. I'm sure that there's a story about the potential economic effects that a war could have on us but that's not the story that the press is pushing.

 If it ever came to that this tiny island is getting blanketed with nukes end to end and we'll get at best 4 minutes' warning of it - they're not going to drop just one. We're all dead. The only places not getting a direct hit are like the Yorkshire Moors and the Highlands and then enjoy starving to death before you die of radiation poisoning.
