Today's prominent founders and investors communicate in a visual grammar that shares a great deal with the aesthetic languages of Italian Futurism, primarily, but also of 'return to order' neoclassicism, World War II-era propaganda, and modernist museum branding.
Matthew Macfadyen started his career in a 1998 TV film adaptation of Wuthering Heights as Hareton Earnshaw, Heathcliff's whipped dog, and has been giving us brilliant incarnations of beta cucks ever since.
Call me racist, call me a misogynist, call me homophobic, call me a scammer - I'm all those things. I don't care. This is the general population of the UK right now, scattering to make comments online about me. They don't know me. They don't know my purpose.
