“Every hour so many damn things in the sky! How in hell did those bombers get up there every single second of our lives! Why doesn’t someone want to talk about it! We’ve started and won two atomic wars since 2022! Is it because we’re having so much fun at home we’ve forgotten the rest of the world? Is it because we’re so rich and the rest of the world’s so poor and we just don’t care if they are? I’ve heard the rumors; the world is starving, but we’re well fed. Is it true, the world works hard and we play? Is that why we’re hated so much? ... Maybe the books can get us half out of the cave. They just might stop us from making the same damn insane mistakes!”
Midway through Fahrenheit 451, we learn that the U. S. government has launched a series of unprovoked wars against smaller countries, just because it can, while the population is so hypnotized by amusements & devices that hardly anyone knows the wars are taking place.

Before Eric Bogosian's Talk Radio there was Stephen Poliakoff's City Sugar, in which self-loathing DJ Leonard Brazil (a magnificent Tim Curry) awakens the spirit of rebellion in a teenage listener (Veronica Quilligan).

I jinxed them! Bologna scored first then conceded two from a team that hasn’t won for months… ah well. Football! Sorry @silentvalerio.bsky.social!!
BBC are currently broadcasting the Bologna - Hellas Verona match live on the web. It's 0-0 at half time and I'm looking froward to my trip there in June, walking from the ground along the 3.8km Portico di San Luca out to the Santuario Madonna di San Luca!
C'mon I Petroniani!!
