@IrishLitTimes Amiri Baraka at the British Library about 10 years ago, a dancing magician. Or the launch of Michael Hartnett's A Necklace of Wrens in a room above I forget which Dublin pub, more like 30 years ago.

I love this passage from Stuart Hall's wonderful address to Australian Left Review's 1983 Marx Centenary Symposium, 'For a Marxism without Guarantees'.
Thanks to @salvagedotzone for republishing.

In this hands-on poetopographical investigation I try and suggest the powerful influence living on the River Tyburn had on Blake's writing and imagination from late 1803.
Thanks for sharing, TLM.

'We can see Blake standing on Oxford Street, looking Tyburn-wards, and thinking: ‘Calvary’s foot’. This alters the cityscape.' To read more about Blake, check out @NMcDevitt's essay 'William Blake at Calvary’s Foot and Sinai’s Cave' on our website now ➡️ bit.ly/39SJeRs

Scientists now say they've discovered the origins of the deadly Black Death - more than 600 years after it entered the human population 😳

@GeorgeMonbiot They're MI5, George, and they're trying to break you down :)

Two guys have been sat in their car outside my house for 40 minutes taking their lunch break, with the engine running the whole time. I don't get it. We hear complaints about fuel prices, yet everywhere I see engines idling. Are people too lazy to turn the ignition off?

Se Merry Doyle and I's film was commended at Portobello Film Festival and will be showing free at ICC on Bloomsday. It's a half hour walk along what I have dubbed The Golden Mile of Modernism.

I just feel like there is a real grossness to the state driven Jubilee celebration fanfare. People are skint, getting so much more skint & full of worry & we are supposed to go out & celebrate 70 years of unadulterated, unaccountable wealth, privilege, power & exploitation? Nah.

@Jonathan_K_Cook It's not. It's the philosophical difference between potential and actual.
English
Chomsky makes a good point. If you want more weapons for Ukraine rather than pushing for a peace deal, you must accept the consequences: like food shortages threatening to kill 2m Yemeni children, already starving after we backed a Saudi bombing campaign truthout.org/articles/choms…

@Jonathan_K_Cook The monster is nuclear Russia. The paper tiger is non-nuclear Russia.
English
We're told Russia's a monster about to devour the west, and also a paper tiger whose army is failing.
Chomsky: 'Orwell defined “doublethink” as the capacity to hold two contradictory ideas in mind and to believe them both – a malady only imaginable in ultra-totalitarian states'
English
The Conservative and Unionist Party's response to the historic Sinn Fein victory in the NI elections is to gang up and ideologically sabotage it. When the lying collapses into bungling - as with Matt Vickers here - it reveals the emptiness of the case.

54 from 90 MLAs - nearly 2/3 - are supportive of the Protocol, or frankly, don’t care.
