On this week's Mean Age Daydream, leftist pigs of Hollywood totally Orwell the Orwell by rewriting "Animal Farm" as anti-capitalism. Andy Serkis is a hack. Also: Trump ramps up actions in Venezuela, Facebook finds out anti-white racism is the big problem on social media, and Trump might just reschedule weed.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1293 Machines That Dreamed Us First: How Science Fiction Built the Future We Now Live Tonight, in Part Two of our four-part series, we plunge into the mechanical heart of science fiction—and the chilling realization that our world of drones, algorithms, and AI was imagined long before it was built. From Čapek's enslaved robots to Asimov's hopeful laws, from Wells's remote-controlled war machines to Orwell's watchful screens, the blueprints were drawn in stories. Professor Mark Brake reveals how these fictions didn't just predict the future—they scripted it. Are we masters of our creations, or have the machines we dreamed up already begun reshaping humanity itself? The déjà vu is real. The reckoning is now. GUEST: Professor Mark Brake is a leading science communicator and author exploring the hidden feedback loop between imagination and innovation. He is the author of FutureWorld: Where Science Fiction Becomes Science and numerous bestselling books examining the real science behind Star Wars, superheroes, time travel, and the multiverse. Known for translating complex ideas into gripping narratives, Brake argues that science fiction doesn't merely entertain — it quietly shapes the laboratories, technologies, and futures we eventually inhabit.

This Week: We're diving into two higher ed topics this week.  First, the University of Alabama suspends and cuts funding for two student magazines, one called Nineteen Fifty-Six, which centers Black voices and experience, and the other called Alice, which is a fashion and wellness magazine that focuses on women. Citing the Trump admin's anti DEI hysteria and Alabama's anti DEI law, the University says it's complying with the law and upholding free speech, almost as if Orwell himself had written the script.  Also, we dig into shocking news about the rise in disability accommodations, particularly at many of the nation's most elite colleges. At Stanford, nearly 40% of undergrads are getting disability accommodations. What on earth is happening with Gen Z, and why is it totally their fault and their fault alone, and has nothing to do with the world we made for them or any systemic factors whatsoever?

Lorsque George Orwell commence à écrire 1984, à la fin de l'année 1947, il est dans une situation à la fois physique et morale extrêmement fragile. L'image de l'écrivain lent, perfectionniste, travaillant patiemment son manuscrit, ne correspond pas du tout à la réalité. La vérité, c'est qu'Orwell s'est lancé dans une course contre la montre. Une course littérale : il sait qu'il est en train de mourir.Depuis plusieurs années, Orwell souffre de tuberculose, une maladie alors difficile à soigner. À l'époque, il se retire sur l'île écossaise de Jura, un lieu isolé, froid, humide… exactement le contraire de ce qu'un médecin recommanderait. Mais il s'y sent libre, protégé du monde qu'il fuit : celui des totalitarismes, des manipulations politiques, des propagandes qui défigurent les mots et les idées. Là-bas, enfermé dans une petite maison rudimentaire, il écrit dans une urgence fébrile.Pourquoi cette précipitation ?D'abord parce qu'il craint que sa santé l'abandonne avant qu'il ne parvienne au bout de son roman. Il écrit donc douze heures par jour, parfois jusqu'à l'épuisement, tapant sur sa machine malgré la fièvre, malgré la toux qui l'étouffe. Les brouillons montrent des corrections hâtives, des phrases reprises à la va-vite. C'est un travail de survie autant que de création.Mais il y a une autre urgence, plus intellectuelle cette fois. Orwell pense que l'histoire est en train de basculer vers un monde où la liberté de pensée recule. La guerre froide commence, les blocs se durcissent, la propagande devient partout un outil central. Pour lui, 1984 n'est pas un roman d'anticipation : c'est un avertissement immédiat, un signal d'alarme. Il doit sortir maintenant, pas dans cinq ans. Attendre serait presque une forme de complicité.Cette double urgence — biologique et politique — explique pourquoi 1984 a été écrit aussi vite. Orwell achève le manuscrit en 1948, l'envoie à son éditeur dans un état d'épuisement total, et meurt quelques mois après la parution, en janvier 1950. Il n'aura jamais vu l'ampleur du phénomène que son livre deviendra.Ainsi, 1984 est né dans une singularité rare : un roman écrit en hâte non pas par négligence, mais par nécessité vitale. C'est peut-être cette intensité, cette urgence brûlante, qui lui donne encore aujourd'hui une telle force prophétique. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

George Packer is one of the most celebrated non-fiction writers on contemporary America. So why, in his new book The Emergency, has he turned to fiction? You'd think, after all, that MAGA America's surrealism would be an ideal nonfictional canvas for a writer with Packer's observational gifts. But, as Packer explains, when facts fail a society, then - like Orwell or Atwood - a writer might be obliged to turn to fiction. This emergency, then, begot The Emergency. This is a public episode.

Being the smartest person in the room is usually where the trouble starts. In today's episode, Ryan sits down with journalist and author Helen Lewis to talk about genius, ego, and why so many “brilliant” people eventually spin out. They discuss the myth of the lone genius, why smart people overthink themselves into bad ideas, and how ego quietly wrecks careers, reputations, and entire movements. ​​Helen Lewis is a staff writer at The Atlantic who writes about politics and culture. Her first book, Difficult Women: A History of Feminism in 11 Fights, was a Guardian, Telegraph and Financial Times book of the year. She has written for The New York Times, the Guardian, The New Statesman, and Vogue. She is the host of the BBC podcast series The New Gurus and Helen Lewis Has Left the Chat, and co-host of Radio 4's Kafka vs Orwell and Strong Message Here.

This week’s Nose — guest hosted by writer and journalist Lindsay Lee Wallace — looks at: PLUR1BUS is a new post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller series created by Vince Gilligan. Apple TV describes its premise like this: “The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.” Rhea Seehorn stars as Carol, one of the few people on the planet who weren’t part of the “Joining,” an event that turned most of humanity into a — very polite — hive mind.

Was tun, wenn man als Präsident von Problemen im eigenen Land ablenken will? Man zettelt einen Krieg an. Geht aber nicht, wenn man unbedingt den Friedensnobelpreis bekommen möchte.

Here's a clip from last week's Gaslit Nation Salon, where I lay out what it will take for us to stop reactionary elections that punish whichever party is in power: the political pendulum swinging between Christian nationalists to establishment Democrats back to Christian nationalists. If we're serious about defeating fascism and overcoming the many crises we face, we need real political stability built from the ground up, not another cycle of rage-voting whiplash. Because if we don't confront these systemic issues, the voters will continue to punish whichever party is in power, and, as we saw in 2016 and 2024, this just makes everything worse, for everyone.  The clip also unpacks my conversation with the great E. Jean Carroll, an interview that sparked a lot of questions and debate among our listeners.

With even Fox News acknowledging affordability issues, the question looms: is the administration believing its own propaganda? A searing call for honesty, accountability, and economic reality amid political delusion.

We use “Orwellian” to describe everything from campus dust-ups to authoritarian crackdowns. But what did George Orwell actually stand for, what did he get wrong, and what can we learn from him about our age of surveillance capitalism and distraction? Sean's guest is Laura Beers, historian at American University and author of Orwell's Ghosts: Wisdom and Warnings for the 21st Century. They dig into Orwell's defense of truth over ideology, his crusade against euphemism, his experience with propaganda and persecution in Spain, and why 1984 and Animal Farm only capture part of his project.  Host: Sean Illing (@SeanIlling) Guest: Laura Beers, historian and author of Orwell's Ghosts We would love to hear from you.

Writer George Orwell has had a major impact on the way we talk about and view the world. His book 1984 introduced us to words and phrases like “thoughtcrime,” “doublespeak” and “Big Brother,” which have become common parts of our vocabulary. Seventy five years after his death, his ideas around mass surveillance and propaganda continue to resonate in a world of Big Tech, challenges to democracy, and distrust of institutions.The new documentary Orwell: 2+2=5 by filmmaker Raoul Peck explores the origin of Orwell's ideas, and how they connect to political events like the January 6th insurrection, the persecution of the Rohingya people in Myanmar, and the invasion of Ukraine.Raoul Peck joins guest host Daemon Fairless to talk about Orwell's life, his words, and the ideological battle over his ideas.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Why was Orwell's wife, Eileen, written out of his story when she co-wrote Animal Farm? How did the CIA twist the novel into anti-communist propaganda? As a writer who was so ahead of his time on imperialism and totalitarianism, why did Orwell fail when it came to the patriarchy? Anita and William are joined by Anna Funder, author of Wifedom: Mrs Orwell's Invisible Life, to discuss the women who are missing from Orwell's biography despite being crucial to his development as a writer.

An old hag churns the waters near two islands off the western coast of Scotland. The churning creates the third-largest whirlpool in the oceans—the Gulf of Corryvreckan, or Brecan's cauldron. Scottish folklore says the Old Hag was the goddess of winter. She stirs the water while washing her plaids. When scientists discovered that a pillar of rock on the ocean floor helps do the churning, they called it “the Old Hag.” The maelstrom fires up as tidal currents flow between the islands of Jura and Scarba. The strait is narrow and deep, so it acts like a funnel. The currents get faster—sometimes reaching As the flow exits the strait, it encounters a large, deep hole, followed by the pillar. Water flows up the side of the pillar, forming whirlpools and other features. When the flow is especially strong, waves can reach heights of 30 feet, and the cauldron's roar can be heard 10 miles away. The waters are considered some of the most dangerous in Britain. Legend says that King Brechan of Norway tried to prove his bravery to a princess by anchoring in the maelstrom. But when his anchors gave way, he drowned. And in 1947, author George Orwell narrowly avoided the same fate. He was traveling across the cauldron with his son, niece, and nephew when his boat's motor was damaged. They rowed to a rocky outcrop, where the boat capsized and sank. Orwell and party were rescued by a fishing boat—escaping the watery clutches of the Old Hag. The post The Old Hag appeared first on Marine Science Institute. The University of Texas at Austin..

Tara exposes Barack Obama's chilling new push for what he calls “The New Journalism” — a rebranding of government-controlled censorship disguised as media reform. From secret meetings between Obama, the CIA's John Brennan, Stanford University's Cyber Policy Center, and global leaders in Europe, Brazil, and Australia, a plan is forming to create a worldwide censorship regime that overrides the U.S. Constitution and silences conservative voices before the 2028 election. Tara unpacks the details — the billion-dollar funding, the “Brussels Effect” enforcement mechanism, and how even platforms like 4chan and X are being targeted for elimination. They call it “new journalism.” We call it the end of free speech. Barack Obama, global censorship, new journalism, free speech, Stanford Cyber Policy Center, John Brennan, Project Liberty Institute, world government, EU censorship, tech regulation, Elon Musk, X, 4chan, media control, First Amendment, 2028 election, Tara Show, political suppression, information governance board, Biden administration, deep state In this alarming episode, Tara dives deep into Barack Obama's recent comments about “experimenting with new forms of journalism” — a statement that sounds harmless until you see what's behind it. She reveals a network of former intelligence officials, Silicon Valley elites, and foreign governments working to establish a single, global censorship system under the guise of fighting “misinformation.” Backed by half a billion dollars in funding and coordinated by Stanford's Cyber Policy Center, the effort would pressure tech companies like Google and X to comply or face massive financial penalties. Tara connects the dots between these censorship schemes, the failed “Disinformation Governance Board,” and Obama's renewed public push to silence dissent. It's Orwell come to life — and it's happening now.

What do Stalin, Trump, and Viktor Orbán have in common? They're all fragile men terrified of truth, artists, and of anyone with a moral compass. In this week's Gaslit Nation, we talk with 91-year-old Peter Hidas, who as a young student helped ignite the 1956 Hungarian Uprising, a movement born of courage and faith in a better world. Peter's story is a testament to what ordinary people can do when they refuse to bow to tyranny. The revolts that shook the Iron Curtain in 1956 laid the groundwork for the movements that would one day bring down the Soviet empire, to the unforgettable soundtrack of Swan Lake played on repeat on Soviet TV by a collapsing regime. Today, a new generation of brave Russians has reclaimed that symbol: the “Swan Lake Collective” is being played by artists on the streets of Russia, creating a rallying cry “Let the swans dance!” for peace, freedom, and the end of Putin's Fox News–style dictatorship. Gaslit Nation is here to remind you that Putin's days are numbered.  This week's show also celebrates the heroes of the No Kings protests, the Gen Z meme pirates toppling corruption crime sprees pretending to be governments, how Trump and Putin might try to save Orban's doomed April 2026 election, and more.  So keep marching. Keep creating.That's how we win.  The song featured in this week's episode is “Election Day” by The Spiders.

On this week's episode, I'm joined by Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro) to discuss his new documentary, Orwell: 2+2=5. We talked about his upbringing in Haiti and having to flee a dictatorial regime there, how social media and AI manipulations help degrade the idea of objective truth, and what can be done to combat this scourge. If you enjoyed the episode, I hope you check out his documentary: it's playing in New York City and Los Angeles now, and you can find showtimes here. It should be expanding across the country here in the coming weeks, including showtimes in Dallas, Atlanta, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and elsewhere. 

Film director Raoul Peck grew up in Haiti and the Congo, and is no stranger to authoritarianism. So it was an easy “yes” when he was offered access to author George Orwell's entire body of work, from the original manuscript of “1984” to letters and journals. The result is “Orwell: 2+2=5,” a documentary about how a man named Eric Arthur Blair became the timeless face of truth. Peck talks to Audie about his take on Orwell's legacy and what it still has to teach us.   --  This episode was Produced by Madeleine Thompson and Lori Galarreta Senior Producer: Matt Martinez  Technical Director: Dan Dzula   Executive Producer:  Steve Lickteig  Learn more about your ad choices.
