Beautiful. Thanks for re-posting, Patrick.

Just finished the clever, funny, moving, beautiful ‘All My Previous Madness’ by @markabowles.bsky.social Just sitting here now.

Have written about Starmer's speech- his best moment yet as PM. He implicitly identified what sits at the heart of this story: the emergence of a common UK/US online right, headed by the radicalised Musk. It is making extremist, until recently fringe politics mainstream in British conservatism.

Jaykers – Leonard and Hungry Paul up to #12 in the Amazon contemporary literary fiction chart after last night's appearance on Between the Covers on BBC. Five years after its publication, it's still wombling its way into people's lives. Lovely to see.

Florida’s “Board of Governors eliminated Principles of Sociology from the core requirements (…)The state’s education commissioner said at the time that sociology had “been hijacked by left-wing activists” and no longer served its purpose as a general education course” www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/u...

“The ability to start out upon your own impulse is fundamental to the gift of keeping going upon your own terms. . . . Getting started, keeping going, getting started again in art and in life, it seems to me this is the essential rhythm." - Seamus Heaney

This is a key constituent of fascism & the very essence of ‘Muskism’: promoting bullshit, silencing truth-tellers & calling the whole grift ‘free speech’. Twitter as a rehearsal for the USA.
