Pronouns: one/one/one’s Irritable, tiresome, contrary, unlikeable, some might say unspeakable, but rather brilliant author if I do say so myself who enjoys sending you all dispatches down from Heaven, where I’m living quite comfortably, thank you.

I’ve no idea why so many posts in my bsky feed are about sports teams, scores, and players. Major algorithm fail.

Nat Turner was a terrorist. At least, that's what they'd expect the Black community to call him if it were today. He was born October 2, 1800....or 236 years ago today. And somehow they expected a man born enslaved to never want to rebel. To escape. To take revenge.
Four books with Nat Turner as the subject. Left to right, top to bottom.

1. Ten Black Writers Respond to William Styron's "Confessions."

2. The Confessions of Nat Turner by William Styron

3. Nat Turner's Slave Rebellion by Herbert Aptheker.

4. The Resurrection of Nat Turner. Part 1 by Sharon Ewell Foster

This is why one should never feed A.I. with page after page of satirical novels and then ask for its advice in terms of whom to appoint or what names to give their characters. Personally I never would have used ‘Elon Musk’, ‘Palmer Luckey’ or ‘Newt Gingrich’ but A.I. is without guardrails.

Not only that, but the US which hates ‘terrorism’ so much is absolutely fine with Israel killing 73,000 people in Gaza - the vast majority civilians. That’s 70,000 more victims than were murdered on 9/11. The US and the UK? Totally in favour of it.

The situation in the Middle East continues to get WORSE, not better. There is nothing happening at all from the Trump admin to make it better, and there is quite a bit that is happening from Iran and its proxies and allies to make it worse. Trump created a disaster with no plan.

Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.

When we remember the murder of 3,000 Americans on 9/11/2001, and the 1,200 Israelis murdered on 10/7/2023, let’s not forget the more than 73,400 people who’ve been murdered in Gaza, and over 4,300 people who’ve been murdered in Lebanon since Israel’s war on Palestinians began after 10/7.
