*chilling note in one of the reviews here dctheaterarts.org/2017/07/15/r....

"Beneath the surface, of course, Cabaret is another story, a tale of a country spiraling downward – defeated by war and economic depression – while fascism, in the form of the Nazis, is on the rise."

I'm currently brushing up on what Orban did in Hungary open.spotify.com/episode/31VU... it's grim but sets out the modern playbook for authoritarianism. Worth a listen (in between your many projects).

currently listening to 24-2 podcast about how Orban gained control in Hungary. The parallels -gerrymandering, control of the courts, mobilising the base - it's all right there. It doesn't bode well for the midterms ... open.spotify.com/episode/31VU...

This lengthy checking process is now a core, mind-numbing and soul destroying feature of marking of dissertations and coursework essays and the reason why our teaching team are discussing vivas and closed book exams...but hey, the tech bros promise that AI is making everything better. 😭
