Anyone doubting the resurgence of stand-up comedy need look no further than Netflix. In 2013, the streaming service produced five original stand-up specials; in 2018, they released 69 of these hour-long stand-up shows, as well as 25 episodes of stand-up from three discrete series. And popularity isn’t just measured in numbers. In the past few years, comedians have entered mainstream consciousness in a way we haven’t seen since the nineties. - 任何怀疑独立喜剧复兴的人都不需要再看Netflix了。2013年，流媒体服务制作了五个原创展台特辑；2018年，他们发布了69个小时长的展台节目，以及25个独立系列的展台节目。人气不仅仅是用数字来衡量的。在过去的几年里，喜剧演员以一种自90年代以来我们从未见过的方式进入了主流意识。

The year 2018 marked 40 years of reform and development in China. However, a gloomy reality has overshadowed the democratic aspirations that many within and outside of the country had associated with the implementation of a market economy. Initially reform and opening up served as an engine to transform China from an impoverished state to a formidable economic power. Yet the process of de-politicization following the student movement in 1989 set the ball rolling on a singular economic track. In 2018, mirroring the rise of right-wing strongmen across the world, everyday life and intellectual discussion have been increasingly subject to tightened surveillance and controls as President Xi consolidates his own powerbase. - 2018年是中国改革开放40年的一年。然而，令人沮丧的现实掩盖了国内外许多人与实行市场经济有关的民主愿望。最初，改革开放是中国从一个贫穷国家转变为一个强大经济力量的引擎。然而，1989年学生运动之后的去政治化进程使经济走上了一条奇特的轨道。2018，反映了右翼强人在世界各地的崛起，日常生活和知识分子的讨论越来越受到严密的监视和控制，因为席总统巩固了自己的权力基础。
In Stephen Spielberg’s noir-sci-fi film Minority Report (2002), Tom Cruise plays a cop in the Washington DC police precrime division. Precrime, meaning, Cruise sees offences before they happen and rushes to stop the action prior to it taking place. The intel is received from three ‘precognitives’ – mutants who foresee the crimes – and their knowledge is transmitted to Cruise via a computer with a huge glass screen. Cruise’s performance involves his cop character conducting these images across this futuristic user interface, putting on special gloves that allow him to shift between images produced by the precogs, explore and zoom in on the background to see a mailbox, or a clock on the wall, and know the time and place where violence is about to happen. The images and short videos are grainy and poor, to communicate the fact that these are reflections of the future, but Cruise still gets to magnify them, or close in, and get all the information he needs. - 在斯蒂芬·斯皮尔伯格（Stephen Spielberg）的黑色科幻电影《少数族裔报告》（2002）中，汤姆·克鲁斯（Tom Cruise）在华盛顿警察局预犯罪分局扮演一名警察。先见之明，意味着，克鲁斯看到犯罪发生之前，并急于停止行动之前发生。英特尔是从三个“预知者”——预知犯罪的突变体——那里收到的，他们的知识通过一个带有巨大玻璃屏幕的计算机传送给克鲁斯。克鲁斯的表演包括他的警察角色在这个未来派的用户界面上处理这些图像，戴上特殊的手套，允许他在由预告片产生的图像之间切换，在背景中探索和放大以查看邮箱或墙上的时钟，并了解Tim。E和暴力即将发生的地方。这些图像和短片很粗糙，不足以说明这些是未来的反映，但是克鲁斯仍然可以放大它们，或者接近它们，并获得他所需要的所有信息。

On Halloween, the cavernous tunnels of the Deadhouse, a winding crypt-like space in the underground depths of Somerset House thronged with those gathered to celebrate the launch of Ignota Press. The rough brick walls illuminated purple, atmospheric music from DJs Lia Mouse and TTB, and an intoxicating heady aroma of incense filled the corridors. Founded by Sarah Shin and Ben Vickers, Ignota derives its name from the mystic Hildegard of Bingen’s lingua ignota (unknown language), with the aim of defining it as one ‘that makes possible the reimagining and re-enchantment of the world around us’ through books and events that traverse poetry, technology, and speculative mysticism. Their inaugural publication is the anthology: Spells: 21st-Century Occult Poetry, edited by Shin with Rebecca Tamás, which brings together 36 rising and established voices across 160 pages to explore themes of ‘justice, selfhood, and the transformative power of the occult.’ - 在万圣节前夕，这座死房子的洞穴隧道，是塞默塞特住宅地下深处的一个蜿蜒的地下室，与聚集在一起庆祝伊格诺塔出版社的人们聚集在一起。粗糙的砖墙照亮了来自DJS LIa鼠标和TTB的紫色、大气音乐，充满了令人陶醉的香气。IGNOTA由Sarah Shin和Ben Vickers创立，源于宾根语言IGNOTA（神秘语言）的神秘希尔德加德，其目的是通过遍历诗人的书籍和事件来定义一个“使我们周围世界重新想象和重新魅惑”的“语言”。RY、技术和推测神秘主义。他们的首期出版物是《拼写：21世纪的神秘诗歌》，由Shin和RebeccaTams编辑，该书汇集了36位在160页上崛起和确立的声音，探讨了“正义、自我和神秘的变革力量”的主题。
