I feel seen. The 1979 soundtrack of Black Mirror Series 6, Episode 5, #Demon79 is like a compilation of all my favourite songs of my childhood. @charltonbrooker
@meganphelps I have enjoyed this thoughtful podcast. Thank you for bringing difficult conversations to the table with insight, care and probing questions.
The quiet devastation and brutal hiatus between Tom & Shiv totally broke me. It's what I live for as a writer and what I deeply recognise as someone who has traversed divorce. Brilliant scene. Goddamn you @jessearmstrong1 Hooked back into #Succession#matthewmacfadyen#SarahSnook
We are now in a time of unprecedented danger.
The Doomsday Clock now stands at 90 seconds to midnight—the closest to global catastrophe it has ever been.
The devastation will affect everyone on the planet. The damage will last for generations. Cancers, infertility, loss of livestock, farms will go bust, there will be contaminated water, thyroid problems, still born children...I hope this will never happen but it could.
Growing up in the shadow of the Cold War, the nuclear threat was never far from my thoughts. But as I got older, after Glasnost, the signing of the INF agreement, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the future seemed brighter. I started to forget about it.

But non-proliferation agreements are being flouted. Arsenals are increasing. Forget about the big, end all, tactical strike. Now, strategic strikes are in favour. Phrases like ‘usable’ nuclear missiles are uttered in NATO war games. A 10KT bombs might be used on a city near you!
