"How beautiful our blue-marbled planet from afar,
and so serene, so steady as she goes,
escape-velocity nicely tailored to permit
philately, football and sales of work.
...
If all this did begin how might it go on?
What understanding, as differently abled
as a cat or whale, might yet recognise
a willing purpose and a gracious end?"

from 'If All This Did Begin', by Jeffrey Wright

@aral Indeed.
I'm not 100% disagreeing with what she's saying here - it's the context in which it's being said. And some of it is really quite disgusting.

@aral I've lost a *lot* of respect for her since she started whining about how "the arts shouldn't be political" after Baillie Gifford's sponsorship of a number of her favourite literary festivals was withdrawn because of its profiting from genocide.

The Jewish Council of Australia gets it.

@aral @nikoleavic Well unless he's "advising" Starmer to ban arms sales to Israel, he kinda is.

I'm sure the fact that his son has an AI company has nothing to do with it 🙄 😡

"Former PM Blair pushes AI adoption to save UK public sector billions"

Fuck sake.

Guardian: "US says ‘gaps’ remain between Israel and Hamas on ceasefire deal"

The gap (also Guardian): "Netanyahu says ceasefire deal must allow Israel to keep fighting until objectives met"

That's not what a ceasefire is.

I've been listening to Helen Macdonald read their beautiful book of essays Vesper Flights. As our glorious leaders have shown the only change they intend to make to the asylum system can at best be described as semantic, I'm sharing this chapter again.

"You were one of the best epidemiology students in the country. You are now an asylum seeker. None of us want to know what it is like ... not to eat or drink or sleep for five days and nights."

"Apocalyptic thinking is a powerful antagonist to action. It makes us give up agency. But there are actions we can take that seem impossible and pointless and yet they are entirely and absolutely required. We can exert pressure, speak up, march and cry and mourn and sing and hope and fight for the world, standing with others, even if we don't believe it, or change seems an impossibility. For even if we don't believe in miracles, they are there, waiting for us to find them."

Mood.

I think the post-election comedown is settling in.

Speaking of "how things are/are not reported", check out the Evening Standard's graphic for the election result in Ilford North.
Apparently Leanne Mohammed does not exist 🤬

@aral Also, it's a perfectly encapsulation of how fucked up FPTP is.

2019 - Corbyn gets 41% vote share but registers historic loss (worst since 1935)

2024 - Starmer gets 32% vote share but registers historic victory (better than 1997)

JOHNNY MERCER IS GONE!!
