I do my best to steer clear of the new, ever more flexible,
digital colouring-in books of the kitchy fantasy cartoons
of A.I. based imagery that now passes for politics.
But the perveyors of this new media find such fanasies
so easy to create, and they know most about how much
such images undercut the arguments of legacy media
that deep, far, and fast, it is no longer a fair competition.
I don't need to use that many brain cells to know
how absurd this politics-by-meme is. I understand
how infantile the arguments behind these images are.
But amid the faster moving logarithms of social media
it is hard to find a more grown up politics that explains
the matters the and media that leaver me better informed.
For those I turn to BBC radio programmes and podcasts.
