so terrible its hilarious

Well what can I say? Netflix has just released a cartoon about Santa Klaus and that is more realistic and believable than this, a film so ridiculous I was laughing out loud all the way through. With moments like a car being attached to a helicopter and the helicopter is lifting up the car but they flip nitrous on and so the wheels start turning fast, gripping the road and thus stopping the helicopter pulling it. Erm, science?

Also the show has more holes than Swiss cheese.

My girlfriend loved it and thought it was a brilliant film.

Fake news in a post truth era.

Not Buying It describes the ‘post-truth’ era really well, how social media and the media manipulates our opinions, and how politics is becoming a central area where we are seeing the results of this (as well as science). It covers both sides of the Atlantic and Charlotte Henry looks at how ‘fake news’ became a thing, how we were (and are) fed alternative facts, and finally what we can do to better inform ourselves.

It’s NOT a cheery read, but it’s an essential one! Highly recommended, and I enjoyed it very much.

Many thanks to The Pigeonhole, Unbound and Charlotte Henry for reading along.
