The Rumour Machine

Juicy gossip travels swiftly; Truth is hidden behind a wall. Lives disappear each moment While trade negotiations stall. Algorithmic amplification. Biometric identification. Spreading rumours throughout our hive; Bloody good thing they're not alive. Juicy gossip leaves your tongue. Truth is hidden behind your ear. Lives crumbling into dust: It's hard to know who to cheer. Parasocial hypergroupies. Neural-networked mass simulations. Spreading rumours while they look: Bloody good thing I'm an open book. Juicy gossip travels swiftly; Truth is hidden behind a queen. Lives disappear each moment: Victims of the rumour machine. Amanda Riddell February 2026
