I despise this government. Climate crisis? Build more data centres. Give their owners cheaper electricity than ordinary citizens. A united Ireland? Let's shelve any action on that for as long as possible. Housing crisis? Let's not build social housing, our landlord TDs won't like that. Etc etc.

I hope you are right. But I won't believe it until it happens. A population that has voted Trump as President twice is entirely capable of producing another staggeringly stupid result.

Bookshops in Belfast, all gone now. They were the heart of the city for me - I could spend the entire day wandering from one to the other. Chess books in Marshall's; Marvel comics and SF books in Harry Hall's; poetry zines and anarchist tracts in Just Books, listening to records in their café.

My old poet pal John Hughes just posted this, from Donna Stonecipher's great collection The Ruins of Nostalgia. It reminded me of how Starbucks took over a lot of independent cafés in Dublin, or put them out of business. I alway laugh at the notion that capitalism gives you choice.

a few years ago I wrote about what it means to count up deaths, when we do and when we don't, and what it's like to live in a culture where the power to let die is a fetish still feels relevant bewilderment.ohbara.com/2023/08/27/b...
