Not counting non-fiction. Are there any novels, poems, movies etc. that have realigned or punched holes in your political leanings, rather than reinforced them?

Dammit. Why do ethics and privacy have to cost four times the price I usually pay :(
I don't mind vagina talk, but I do always feel like I'm hearing something I'm not meant to hear, becoming automatically shameful like I'm some kind of eavesdropping creepy perv.
It's been educational though.
I've never knowingly seen a Saturday night cartoon in the UK. Simpsons and South Park were both on a Friday IIRC
Link pls? I'd like to check this out.
Bots and shills, sure. But Russian bots? How come?
It's not so much that conservatives are stupid, more that stupid people are conservative. This is why they keep winning.
special mention to Richard Herring, who I think has the longest-running daily updated blog on the Internet - he's written every day for like... 15+ years now. The blog has moved to substack recently though
I like Ecosophia.net - an occultist writes about all kinds of stuff
craigmurray.org.uk - an ex ambassador explains domestic and international politics with an insiders view.
and the blog at disappointment.com - sadly he only posts once every couple of years nowadays, but it's just... very silly, often very gay humour.
Mr Prestege; History, P.E. and for one year, form tutor. Mainly he was funny, watched all the same comedy shows as me so we had little references and in-jokes nobody else got.
His history fact sheets were great too - he drew little comic strips and characters with speech bubbles. Made revising entertaining, a bit like the Horrible Histories books.
Dunno if this counts, but once upon a time loyalty cards were a thing - buy a product, get a stamp, and get a free product on your 10th stamp. Nowadays it's all apps, and they all say they'll provide data to third parties. Consequently I haven't had a free coffee/bagel/beer or whatever since lockdown. Anyway, I'm off to yell at a cloud, ttfn
Yes, yes... I think we know.
It occurred to me that, as an adult, I feel I need a reason to invite friends over. My wife thinks this is pitiful. I invited a couple of friends over for a curry and a boardgame night - it was a fine evening - but without that reason of having a shared activity, I'd never have done it.
Jusy wondered if I'm alone in this, and if there's any men out there who DO invite male friends over with no plans or expectations for the evening?
Pic unrelated.
