It’s getting that way isn’t it, feels like social media is in its final years…

I haven't used Google for about a decade, 'cause I've read Orwell, watched McGoohan and have had the misfortune to have known several hackers.

Since he has so many large corporations that own all of the social media networks and everything in his pocket, he is well on his way. Much of what he is planning leads directly to that.

I saw “Earthanasia” as a small person (6-7), and while I remember it mostly as being very funny, I recall being quite shocked at the end. I don’t think that was the first time I’d seen it, only the first time I understood the ending.

He has begun a litany of executive orders. It's mind-boggling.

I don't remember that from first broadcast. I think I was probably still suffering from "Pyramids of Mars" at the age of 3. Fuckin' Sutekh....

Read it. True as far as I can see. Oh boy, you have my sympathies.

Not that England's any better, just less blindingly obvious. So far.
