- Shopping mall in dystopia.
- That's the scary bit: imagining future scenarios based on rational extrapolation of current trends and events. It's enough to make even professional systems 'trajectory artists' weep.

- “In my country, we are fighting like hell for the democracy we once took for granted. That affects all of us here, because art is the crucible that brings people together, like tonight. Art looks for truth. Art embraces diversity. That’s why art is a threat.” www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ma...
- UN aid chief Tom Fletcher criticised an Israel-initiated and US-backed humanitarian aid distribution plan for Gaza as a "fig leaf for further violence and displacement" of Palestinians in the war-torn territory. www.rte.ie/news/world/2...
