Season 1 and 2 + the Xmas Special are solid gold. It was a straight BBC joint then.

The themes and direction were clear and the show did what it set out to do. I enjoyed that. There are plenty of fair criticisms of the show, but pre-Netflix-collaboration Black Mirror has to stand alone.

Thanks, good read. It bums me out that people are still fouled by Sam Altmann's shtick. OpenAI and Worldcoin are just grifts. At least OpenAI DOES some things, but it's definitely not open. Worldcoin seems like data-gathering with a hint of crypto-grift.

It's nice to see labor fighting back. Especially against odds stacked against them.

If you are in the area, it's worth the visit. It's run-down and seems to represent the neglect of labor over the years, but it still stands to remind workers that they have power. Radical power.
