Re: last repost - this is the documentary "The Story Of Marjoe" - his story here could be the same as the story of hundreds of child YouTube stars on Family YouTube channels today, though substitute "preaching" for "spon-con" vimeo.com/174719640

If you've never seen the 1972 documentary about Marjoe, now would be a good time to hunt it down. Stage-parented into being a bread-winning "preacher" for tent revivals at 4 years old and now a nonbeliever, he spent his young adulthood cynically exploiting that education exclusively for the money.

A man stands at the ticket counter of a movie theater. An employee asks if he’d like to upgrade his ticket. “Would you like to upgrade to Cinema VIP? You can pause the film for bathroom breaks.”  Our man is intrigued by the offer. Next slide. Inside the movie theater. The film has been paused and the movie screen lets the audience know: “PAUSED FOR VIP.” Our man stands at the center of the theater with his hands raised and a VIP badge attached to a lanyard around his neck. He’s part of the Cinema VIP program but at what cost? The other patrons have become increasingly upset with the pauses. A chorus of angry voices rain down on the VIP from around the theater. “Sit down, toilet boy,” one woman yells. She’s had enough of his potty breaks. “Oh COME on.” “Get this guy outta here.” “He ruined the trailers, too.” “Take his badge.” “3 times?!” “Put a diaper on.”

Well, if it’s 23 September... YES, THAT’S RIGHT! It’s the 72nd anniversary of the hunt for the Gorbals Vampire, in which hundreds of children aged from four to 14, armed with dogs, knives, and sharpened sticks went looking for an urban myth

Cartoon by Stephen Collins for The Guardian. Script as follows:

[scene is Winston Churchill in a bbc studio, giving his 'finest hour' speech]

1
CHURCHILL:
The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. 

2
CHURCHILL:
Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war.

3
CHURCHILL:
If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free 
and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sun-

BBC PRESENTER:
Thank you prime minister 

4
BBC PRESENTER:
Mr hitler, your response?

5
HITLER [in the studio]:
Vell zis is hysterical woke nonsense as usual from mr Churchill

6
HITLER:
What we are proposing -

CHURCHILL:
Hang on

7
HITLER:
Let me finish - what we are proposing eez a simple power-sharing arrangement -

8
CHURCHILL:
What's he doing here

BBC PRESENTER:
It's important we hear both sides of the debate

9
CHURCHILL:
This isn't a debate 
You don't debate fascists

10
HITLER:
Oh here we go with ze Godwins law!

11
HITLER:
Why must you people always compare ze things you don't like to 'fascists, Nazis, Hitler'...

CHURCHILL:
Because you are a fascist Nazi Hit-

12
HITLER [standing up, saluting]:
RAUSS!

BBC PRESENTER:

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a horseshoe crab watches as a variety of prehistoric creatures swim towards an ethereal light. An ammonite calls back to the crab, “come on, horseshoe crab! We’re all evolving!” Panel 2: the horseshoe crab stays in position and replies, “nahh that’s crazy” Panel 3: the horseshoe crab is superimposed in front of a future premonition: a rather miserable-looking human slouched in the glow of a desktop computer. The horshoe crab swims away and says, “good luck tho”

Our statement in response to The Telegraph article: 'How having a disability became cool' Young women, named 'sickfluencers', are turning chronic illness into a lifestyle trend & entrenching a culture of economic inactivity.' by Poppy Coburn, featuring Suzanne O'Sullivan. #longcovid #pwME #POTS
It is disheartening & predictable to see Suzanne O’Sullivan once again given a platform to promote psychosomatic explanations for chronic illness — this time in a Telegraph article attacking disabled people as influenced by social media, identity and attention.

There is a fundamental problem with this framework: it creates a self-reinforcing evidential trap. If patients accept a psychosomatic explanation, it confirms the theory.

If they reject it, their distress is interpreted as evidence that they are psychologically invested in being ill.

If they seek support from other patients, that's “social reinforcement”.
