"But with the latest revelations, it seems the industry is being forced to reckon with ideas of sexual harassment, violence against women, and the wider #MeToo movement – which began to spread virally in 2017 as a response to allegations against Harvey Weinstein." 🍿

"Schofield announced last week that he was stepping down from the broadcaster after admitting an affair with a much younger male colleague .. a relationship he described as “unwise, but not illegal” in an apology statement to the Daily Mail"
"“These two stories are potentially the start of a much wider conversation about sexual misconduct in British media,” McLean said. “It’s one that we haven’t really seen take place on the same scale as it has in America.” She added: “This will rumble on – it’s far from over.”"
GG : "Modern "smart cities" are not designed for freedom of movement; they are master-planned to force human bodies into predictable geometric choke points. ..
When urban architects and data scientists design a modern public space, they use a highly calculated discipline called Hostile Architecture combined with Spatial Syntax Mapping. The goal is simple: eliminate natural human unpredictability ..🎶
This architectural manipulation—the exact process that reshaped modern Manchester post-1996 and London's transport hubs—operates through four distinct design mechanisms: 1. The Death of the "Desire Line"

GG: "The Graphene Flagship is a European Union scientific research initiative. ..Europe's direct counterweight to the U.S. quantum funding strategy: the Quantum Technologies Flagship, which operates alongside the Graphene Flagship and the Human Brain Project."..🤔
This creates a high-stakes, cross-continental competition between two fundamentally different economic and scientific models:
1. The U.S. Commercial/Venture Model (Howard Lutnick) 2. The European Union Collaborative Model (The Flagships)
