Cats - you’ve gotta love em!
I don't know how to clip a segment (sorry), but the bit I really want you to watch starts at 29'10". It's about the deep roots of the attack on Iran and why it's just as well Starmer is "no Winston Churchill". I'm surprised this aspect isn't more widely discussed. 🧵

When my father died, I had to
pick him up
and carry him
One day I hope
to put him down

a woman with long hair stands in an undefined place, outside of time
The future
Splits the present with the echo of my voice.

A conjurer fine apparatus, nor
A rifle to a melancholic bore."

Not to mention the biggest arsenal in the world to a narcissistic attention-seeker.
"Of those who voted Labour [in 2024], just 37% would vote Labour again".
Read that again to absorb the full, astonishing weight of what it means.

Full yellow moon at dusk over telegraph wires.
Full yellow moon at dusk.
The full moon visiting our road.
Let nothing be called natural
In an age of bloody confusion,
Ordered disorder, planned caprice,
And dehumanized humanity, lest all things
Be held unalterable!
Bertrolt Brecht, The Exception and the Rule
I HAD THOUGHT THINGS WERE GOING ALONG WELL
But I was mistaken.

I Had Hope When Violence Was Ceas't
Dawnlight freezes against the east-wire.
The guards cough 'raus! 'raus! We flinch and grin,
Our flesh oozing towards its last outrage.
That which is taken from me is not mine.

Topologies
In the night,
I hear
thousand
and thousand
of unheard journeys
ending
not like most
of our journeys
end - but a sudden
immediate end,
if ends aren’t ever
not immediate.
I know the outside
is there.

Which to erase first:
shadow or body,
the word written yesterday
or the word written today,
the cloudy day
or the clear day?
One has to find an order.
Learning to erase the world
will soon help us to erase ourselves.
