BBC - Adam Curtis Blog: THE YEARS OF STAGNATION AND THE POODLES OF POWER
Everybody is always remarking about how stuck our society feels these days. The music doesn’t change, the political parties are all exactly the same, and films and TV dramas are almost always set in the past. We are also stuck with an economic system that is not delivering the paradise that it once promised - but is instead creating chaos and hardship. Yet no-one can imagine a better alternative, so we remain static - paralysed by a terrible political and cultural claustrophobia. I want to tell the story of another time and another place not so long ago that was also stifled by the absence of novelty and lacking a convincing vision of the future. It was in the Soviet Union in the late 1970s and 1980s. At the time they called it “the years of stagnation”.
Fascinating shit!
Lost my Saturday to this engrossing piece.

Sabrina describes vintage porn films:
With captions that are like “Darling shall we take a stroll in the garden”. Spoiler: they fuck in the garden.
Also she asks if he has a “fish skin” because she wouldn’t like a junior.

Is hiya related to the Cantonese ai-yah! in any way, I wonder? In any case, it is a densely meaning-ful word.
