famous Apple Macintosh Commercial "1984" is an American television commercial which introduced the Apple Macintosh personal computer for the first time. It was conceived by Steve Hayden, Brent Thomas and Lee Clow at Chiat/Day, Venice, produced by New York production company Fairbanks Films, and directed by Ridley Scott. Anya Major performed as the unnamed heroine and David Graham as Big Brother. Its only U.S. daytime televised broadcast was on January 22, 1984 during and as part of the telecast of the third quarter of Super Bowl XVIII. Chiat/Day also ran the ad one other time on television, in December 1983 right before the 1:00 am sign-off on KMVT in Twin Falls, Idaho, so that the advertisement could be submitted to award ceremonies for that year. In addition, starting on January 17, 1984 it was screened prior to previews in movie theaters for a few weeks. It has since been seen on television commercial compilation specials, as well as in "Retro-mercials" on TV Land. The estate of George Orwell and the television rightsholder to the novel 1984 considered the commercial to be a flagrant copyright infringement, and sent a cease-and-desist letter to Apple and Chiat/ Day in April 1984. The commercial was never televised as a commercial after that.

spend so much time on this mythos the scrappy romantic revolutionary retconning, and poor comprehension of history that everything gets so compressed it is as if other strategies and tactics and inspirations never existed, never mind are ever recognized as wise, nevermind more authentic to the actual state of affairs, nevermind more humane.

guerrilla fighting is brutal by circumstance less resourced, a fair fight? sure to lose desperate

desperation is not a wise place to invest someone who finds desperation appetizing has a predatory palate it should only ever be a move of dire straits and last resort, calling in sharks

chumming the water wants a feeding frenzy

anyone who is stable, who has vision, purpose, isnt fighting the clock, simply has no need
