Three fictional stories that had become reality at some point recently:
#idiocracy
#TheHandmaidsTale
#Shimoneta
Now that July 2025 is spiritual Judgment Day, after the another story become reality someday it will be the point of no return: #TheDayAfterTomorrow.
Do you know who we have to blame for the parlous state of social media and the Internet?
Al Gore.
After he invented the Internet, he was playing the drums and came up with Al Gore rhythms.

I was privileged to be invited to a private screening of #AnInconvenientTruth in Leeds a year before it's release in the UK. It was a wake-up call to a topic I was already attuned to, and concerned about, and opened up many discussions. An enduring memory.
#DailyStream: I'm back! And just as the global-warming shit is hitting the fan. Rewatching 2006's #AnInconvenientTruth now is a reminder of our self-destructive inertia in the face of #ClimateCatastrophe; the film feels more urgent than ever. @Kanopy US, @ParamountPlusUK
"Pettifogging." A word that may have died before its time, concisely describing as it does "can't see the forest for the trees."
We've revised our coverage of "An Inconvenient Truth" and its small warts. Al Gore may have leaned a little far over his skis-- formally speaking-- but with the addition of a decade and a half's research progress it's even harder to find serious fault than in 2007.

Some decent documentaries I advise !
How many did you see from these 6?
Perhaps you could rent them or advise your library to buy 1. 
I saw #microcosmos at #filmfestgent in the 90s (those were the days my friend) and was ‘star’struck by all these amazing creatures and how they were filmed… a body of work. Took years to make.
Really interesting retrospective on #AnInconvenientTruth, discussing how the media presents #ClimateScience and how that can impact policy today.
@morgfair how many Deutschebank execs do you think got a turn on Ivanka back at the Epstein parties of old? Or maybe Eric, or both. #AnInconvenientTruth
And Al Gore clearly felt that love. He became so relaxed and magnetic. Like he knew he was with his people.
The audience would laugh, clap, or even amen him - and Al Gore would banter back.
And hearing someone that knowledgeable and charismatic talk about something so personal to all of us was strangely cathartic. He made it feel like maybe we could do something. Like maybe there was hope.
I wish they had filmed it. It felt historic.

I will never forget seeing Al Gore give this talk at Tulane not long after Katrina.
When he referenced Katrina at the beginning, the whole auditorium erupted in cheers for New Orleans. The vibe was like a revival. You could feel the love in the room - not just for the city but for Al Gore, for wanting to explain to us what we all knew was going on. No one there needed any convincing of anything.
