  This is a nice little gem of a video.

  Given the viewing numbers that "Normal People" and "Conversations with Friends" got and get, this is a great way to use Brittish Public State Money to send a giant middle finger to the State.

  Bravo.

  I only presume that now adaptations of Sally Rooney novels are not going to be greenlit at the BBC anymore. And the existing shows are going to vanish from broadcast schedules and the BBC online platform. Right?

  And I don't see MUBI picking it up given their strict ties to Israel.

  So... yeah, shitty world we have.

  But bravo to her nonetheless.

  No, you don't need to "grow up". You're right in feeling the way you do. Growing up in relation to that sounds like giving up. If anyone needs to grow up or give up is the people destroying Nature and people's lifes just so they can get more tokens in a rigged game that always benefits them.

  I keep saying for a while that Precision Fermentation is the future. Because if it isn't, that probably means there isn't one.

  Using the lowest trophic level possible to grow our sustenance directly is the only way to ensure the least destruction possible. Which ensures the most environmental and ethical efficacy. As there should never be anything to distinguish between them in the first place.
