Good recorder playing trumps flute playing of any calibre. History and the technology of the day intervened to convince us otherwise, but compare Brandenbergs 4 and 5, for example.
There's No Good Reason Why Poverty Should Still Exist We have more than enough resources to care for everyone, if we would only redesign our systems to advance the interests of humanity over the interests of capital. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/theres-no-...

Labour Friends of Israel should really have to change their name to Labour Friends of Israeli Money, just by the Trades Descriptions Act.
The British media’s tendency to always specify UK casualties in international disasters while underplaying others seems godhorribly parochial.
You can get a picture of how insane western society is by imagining what would happen if Iran successfully assassinated Trump. The entire western political/media class would act like something outrageous and evil had just happened, but any sane person would know it was fair play.
The suddenly widespread tendency to pronounce’pianist’ with emphasis on the ‘a’ instead of on the first ‘i’ bugs me more than it should.

The amount of grief being generated about Sony not distributing games on physical discs is slightly bizarre. I haven’t bought a game on tangible media since 2010. It’s self-supporting angst. The console sluggishness is regrettable, but ffs stop portraying it as the man vs everybody.
There’s a powerful new documentary out called Earth’s Greatest Enemy by Abby Martin about the ecocidal abuses of the US war machine, and it addresses the most pressing existential hurdles we face as a species like nothing I’ve seen before. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/earths-gre...

"Most countries consider Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under intl law" Is this how you'll report on all crimes from now on, or just crimes Israel commits? Can you imagine? 'Alan broke into the house & stole items, which most people consider to be illegal'
Basically we’ve got two choices: we either aggressively denormalize Israel or we watch our society become more and more Israeli. We either collectively reject Israel, or we watch western militaries fuse inseparably with the IDF.
Andy Burnham's first act as Prime Minister is one of environmental vandalism. New oil and gas fields won't lower bills. This is a fact. If we want to lower bills, create jobs, and improve our national security we need serious investment in cheap, clean renewable energy.
Burnham to announce plans for new North Sea oil and gas drilling
Drilling has become a controversial topic for the Labour party after the 2024 manifesto pledged to not issue new licences.

Please stop commenting on the person that thrives on publicity and apparently none of you approves of.
Weapons needed to explain Aunt Gladys a bit more. Mysterious evil person makes bad things happen is a bit forgettable.
Ask why there’s been so much violence in the middle east these last three years and you’ll be told it’s because of October 7. Ask why October 7 happened and you’ll be called an antisemite. Ask what specifically transpired on that day and you’ll be called a conspiracy theorist.
"In the first 24 hours of Starmer resigning, there were 1,485 mentions of him. Only 30 had any reference to Gaza." (And most of those made no mention of genocide.) Media Lens on how the media blacked out one of the biggest reasons Starmer was so hated: medialens.substack.com/p/whitewash-...
Whitewash: Media Silence Over Starmer’s Gaza Legacy
On Monday, Sir Keir Starmer was given a largely respectful farewell by the ‘mainstream’ media, portraying him as a ‘decent’ man who put his country first.

We are delighted to announce ‘The Gaza Tribunal: Britain’s Complicity In Genocide’, a brand new book documenting our report’s findings with an afterword by Sally Rooney, will be published in July 2026. 📕 Available for pre-order now: www.plutobooks.com/product/the-...
Whoever replaces Starmer could make themselves immediately popular by repealing the online safety act.
Despite claims of so-called ceasefire, Israel has continued to massacre Palestinians with impunity. This is a genocide aided and abetted by the British government, who continue to provide diplomatic cover, surveillance and arms sales to the IDF.
Death toll in Gaza since ‘ceasefire’ goes past 1,000
More than 1,000 people in Gaza have been killed since a US-brokered 'ceasefire' between Hamas and Israel was agreed.

In 1999, Jack Straw assured parliament his Terrorism Act was reserved for serious premeditated violence creating "a climate of extreme fear". The only "extreme fear" caused by Palestine Action is to Elbit's profit sheet and to Starmer, who may yet end up in the dock at the Hague.
Junk mail delivered by a privatised postal service should be as illegal as spam.
Access journalism is one of the curses of our age. It also links UK politics with the Summer Games Fest, which we definitely don’t want.
Israel has been gradually expanding its "kill zone" in Gaza. Its army has now officially seized 70% of the territory. In a few months, 2 million Palestinians will be crushed into 20% of Gaza. Then 10%. The "ceasefire" is a cover for genocide, not an end to it.

My mum is in her eighties and she’s stressing over having to prove she’s over eighteen so she can use her phone. Starmer should be catapulted from the nearest castle roof to wherever he happens to be.
