Feels like TV companies have forgotten about, or simply don't care about, making "slice of life" documentaries. Feels like we need them more than ever now, to understand why everyone is so fucking mad these days. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUIr...

Made the train, despite the best efforts of European border security for non-EU citizens. Thanks Boris, you prize pillock.

🧵I watched Forbidden Planet last night. Hadn't seen it for decades. A super-intelligent race is destroyed, despite its technological advances, by its own subconscious primitive fears and greed, 'the monster of the ID'. Hashtag AI, etc.
Anyway, couldn't help but notice how the film influenced others.
