    Newspaper report:

    But this incident has divided critics because Roland on Twitter had some pretty scathing words to say about it!

    Although everything in #fiction can be critiqued for it's plausibility, I think the general feel or attitude of the fiction indicates how harsh a critic you ought to be.

    I really love the movie Total Recall and that is in no way a plausible movie.

    That's the problem with hard #scifi, I think. Although it can be very inventive and clever, by being supposedly true-to-life science any book or film sets itself up to be heavily criticised.

    Something like Total Recall is knowingly absurd, so criticisms don't always apply.

    That doesn't mean you can't criticise them, of course. The Bond movies are pretty absurd and I think they're pretty much all crappy.

    I remember people online saying that even a bad (blue) Labour party is better than the Tories, even if everyone knows the Labour party is now just another version of the Tories.

    I mean, sure, I suppose they might be doing something marginally better than the Tories right now.

    I'm not sure I'm noticed what that is it though.

    And this is why I still maintain voting of the lesser (or same) evil never works and a long term strategy of building up a real grassroots, left wing party is the only option, even if it means letting bad parties win elections a few times.

    #CraigMurray | Starmer and Lammy are Terrified

    "So why did the UK, and the UK alone, say that it is not responsible for ensuring that other parties comply with international law, adding later a specific reference to the Geneva Conventions?

    It is perfectly simple. #Starmer and #Lammy are terrified about future charges of complicity in Israeli war crimes. So the UK, only, feels it necessary to emphasise that they do not bear legal responsibility for Israel’s actions."

      Starmer and Lammy are Terrified - Craig Murray
      from @CraigMurrayOrg
      Western governments’ abandonment of the very system of international law which they created was embodied in a tweet from the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which sought to justify the illegal Israeli attack on Iran as “Targeted strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities”. The former Director General of the International Atomic Energy Authority, Mohamed ElBaradei, was […]

    @aral I just see a future where everyone is manipulated and controlled by governments and corporations that pre-empt everything a population will do.

    '... the “counter-terror” police have been weaponised against the Palestine solidarity movement, and against journalists who report critically and accurately on Israel.'

    I started #reading Lady Chatterley's Lover and I'm not sure what to make of it yet.

    I mean, I've only read a couple of chapters so it's early days.

    But I've got a feeling its main USP is a controversial-for-the-time liberal attitude to sex and I'm not sure I'm going to find it all that interesting.

    I'll give it a go though.

    Actually, one concept that impressed me a lot is how it is mentioned one of the pits had been burning for years because it would take thousands of pounds to put out. So the surrounding area is permeated with burning and smoke.

    It certainly sets a particular scene.

    My latest #ScienceFiction #novel is available in #eBook format!! 💫

    It's about two women agents who are highly skilled fighting with blades. While they are undercover in enemy space, they find themselves in need of a new pilot. But they quickly attract attention from the oppressor enemy soldiers, which further threatens their mission.

    It is a novel inspired by Western settler #colonialism and the taking of #indigenous land.

    Writer or artist or something. Probably nothing. London, Socialist or something.Generally against the corporate influence in our lives, so do my best to avoid sharing links from corporate sites. #DumpTheGuardian #DeGoogle If you want to know the main theme of this account ... I generally like to critique things. I usually critique art, books, TV, Movies, etc. And quite often I'm interested story structure and logic. I guess that's my USP or something.I post either on the Fediverse or on my #PsychicDrool blog.I love avant-garde stuff, love noisy music. I'm currently into John Coltrane.
