“You could take the usual precautions... sticky tape on the windows, that sort of thing.” - The Master

Also a marked similarity between the promotion of A.I. and the Shoe Event Horizon (probably unintentional, seeing as the cabal of creepy weirdos ruining the planet don’t seem to’ve actually read/understood any of the things they cite as inspiration).

As the news cycle’s obviously ripping off the plot to Threads, decided to check out some more cheerfully over-optimistic ancient TV instead.

#protectandsurvive

Keeping it cheery with some more classic TV. Been meaning to watch this since Culloden.*

*The documentary, that is.

A few out-of-context nuggets scooped up over the weekend.

Fairly sure this book inspired many of the recent plot-twists in the current season of “It’s The End…”

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of #ProtectandSurvive - a UK government-commissioned public information campaign which was only ever due to be shown in the event of nuclear attack - I am reposting my BBC-commissioned film inspired by it. #PIFs 🤯

It's no wonder '70's and '80's kids are so distracted and easily anxious, really is it?

Protect and Survive Wyrd Britain reviews the British government public information film 'Protect and Survive'.

With both 'The War Game' and 'Threads' on TV last night I thought today might be the perfect time to revisit the official 1970s advice on how to survive a nuclear war.

But it was OK because we were taught by Jim and Hilda how to take a door off its hinges to create a fallout shelter 😱 #ProtectAndSurvive

Fallout. Get under your kitchen table. #ProtectAndSurvive

Buckle up, lovers…

Get those internal doors off their hinges and leaning up against an internal wall and start digging up your garden to cover the doors in earth…

Probably best just to wash the whites at this point. #ProtectAndSurvive

Original post on mastodon.green

"In an unusually frank admission of lobbying children, a web page promoting the game stated that it “aligns with our work to build future talent pipelines and secure permission to operate at a time of sensitivity around fossil fuels, particularly in light of . . . the Rosebank development" " […]

In the event of a 4-minute warning being issued, there's really not that much you can do... so just get the whole family to hide in the fridge like Indiana Jones, then pop on to Twitter and play a #game.

So should the UK. Bring back #ProtectandSurvive ✊

And, of course, the #ProtectAndSurvive pamphlet was soon turned into memorable activist art for @cnduk.bsky.social by the great @peterkennardx.bsky.social

This was LOP's follow-up in the next edition, by which time the Thatcher govt had decided to publish #ProtectAndSurvive and @cnduk.bsky.social was on the march...

LOP number 124 front page headline: Exclusive - what to do in a nuclear war

LOP 124 p6 Nuclear attack - pamphlet ignores the realities

LOP 124 p 7 - what the pamphlet says and We Say - Cause for Alarm

One night 45 years ago a brown envelope dropped through the letterbox at LOP Towers, giving #LeedsOtherPaper one of its biggest scoops. It was a leaked copy of the government's hitherto secret instructions on what to do in nuclear war. At the time, #ProtectAndSurvive was as scary as it was risible.

The #annihilation mix was where #TwoTribes reached its peak: with those #PatrickAllen #ProtectAndSurvive voiceovers, it’s still the best, and scariest, version of the #FrankieGoesToHollywood song

Listening to the news makes a reissue of this seem like a terrifyingly possibility.
