Christopher Hill: “Just as Oliver Cromwell aimed to bring about the kingdom of God on earth and founded the British Empire, so Bunyan wanted the millennium and got the novel.“

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state. That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress: Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

Spending the afternoon in the National Gallery. I hadn’t fully appreciated just how much Caravaggio’s Supper at Emmaus is a painting about *hands*. Look at them! Every hand matters in this one; conveys a very specific moment in time.

I know rainbow capitalism sucks, but it’s better than the rainbow-hostile capitalism which preceded and will follow it – and in the current climate, seeing the trans flag colours emblazoning the most famous department store in England is heartening

Talking of the 17th century, Professor J.C. Davis wrote a book in the 1980s claiming that the Ranters never existed, of which E.P. Thompson wrote one of the most hilariously vituperative reviews I’ve ever read. Paint-blistering stuff. 🔥🔥🔥 www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v0...

I’m currently reading Christopher Hill’s biography of John Bunyan, which I’d forgotten I owned until its title snagged my eye while I was loading up my new Kindle. I’d started it a few years ago but stalled part way through: am now making much better progress (geddit??!??!?!?)

If Labour wanted to reverse the chaos, the cruelty, and the policy-led law making of the Supreme Court in For Some Women Scotland, this is how easy it would be for the Secretary of State. No need for primary legislation.

I have been re-reading the Bachman Books by @stephenking.bsky.social . All of the stories in this series feel dystopian. I have owned this book for decades and read it many times. But reading it this year, turning to this page, and seeing the date and tagline. . . . #booksky

It would be easier for libs if trans people fell into 2 groups, one gender nonconforming from early childhood who always felt like the other binary sex, another w/ comorbid psych concerns, no nonconformity until late teens, and complicated gender feelings. Unfortunately, this just isn't the case.

Today in “no new thing under the sun” – from To Let, third novel in the Forsyte Saga. Published in 1921, so Galsworthy presumably had the then-current influenza epidemic in mind. But how revealing that “blame China!” goes back even further than that

ChatGPT is asked to create a map of Ireland and ends up doing the "if your nation wore jeans would it wear them like this?" meme. [Posting with alt-text I've spent far too long writing, in an attempt to convey just how gloriously, horrifyingly shit this is]

I intend to speak at TUC congress, Brighton, 9 June. My union, the GMB are also fully backing the trans minority at this almost impossibly oppressive moment in our history.
