In this episode, Ed Zitron walks you through what happens when tech's growth-at-all-costs epoch begins to collapse, and how the only way to save Silicon Valley is to put power back in the hands of those who actually build things - and reject the management consultant mindset killing innovation.
“Geek Girl isn’t an entirely true story, but it is based on events in author Holly Smale’s life. Smale was also scouted by a London modelling agency to be a fashion model at age 15, and she was bullied at school just like Harriet. Smale modelled for two years before quitting because she did not enjoy it.” #GeekGirlhttps://www.countryandtownhouse.com/culture/geek-girl-netflix/
Turns out that remarkable polar bear metaphor scene in Geek Girl was a riff on the book (and presumably script) by Zac Looker and Emily Carey.
“The version that we did was pretty much what me and Emily just kind of changed around and wrote on the day that just felt right in the moment. We tried to stay close to the essence of the scene in the book, and I feel like that scene is really where Harriet sees Toby properly for the first time.” #GeekGirlhttps://www.tvinsider.com/1138820/geek-girl-harriet-toby-relationship-polar-bear-scene/
@LoneLocust It’d be like turkeys voting for Christmas. If Labour wins a huge majority under the current system they have no incentive to change it. Sadly.
