Find it worth remarking that the footage of that woman being shot in the Capitol is all over social media and being tweeted out by like journalists and popular academics etc. Feels weird that something which you would’ve had to have went on specific sites to see or found on the fringes of social media is now pretty much front and centre. I wonder why it is. Is it the inevitable end point of 24/7 news edging ever closer to just showing uncensored footage of atrocities?

Yeah I unwittingly watched it yesterday, as it was posted up without warning about how graphic it would be. I never watch stuff like that so was really surprised for it to be posted on social media without warning.

Yeah, maybe not. It does feel like this last decade has been some sort of slow escalation over what is considered normal to get posted. Maybe there isn’t a difference but I did find it wild that we’ve even went from a tabloid posting images like that to someone like Adam Tooze just providing analysis to an actual video of someone being shot.

In Indonesia they show mental stuff on just a normal news report. Seem to have no issue showing, for example, dead bodies after a car crash. I still find it wild they show this even through the day.

Who was it that posted recently about someone trying to use their bank card for food delivery? Had a phonecall from the bank earlier telling me someone had tried to use mine to order Deliveroo at half three in the morning, then 68p on something from America at around half eleven.

Watching Robocop as a kid (great parenting) I used to think the tv newsreels were so far fetched that it was more absurd than satirical. Seeing it recently all that stuff in the film seems quite tame and innocent.

I read something about some of the new Saturday night shows on BBC, saying they seem like something from the tV clips in Robocop. Michael McIntyre asks questions about WW2 to Dermot O’Leary as he spins round in a giant machine with other b list celebrities. Danny Dyer stands in front of a big wall while contestants play Connect 4 with some general knowledge questions added in.
