Sociologist, ecologist, educator, writer, mutant (i.e. neurodiverse), plays capoeira. Unflinching progressive, British-American. I don’t like reductive talk about people we disagree with, and I think it’s very unbecoming when progressives regress like that

I think Andy Burnham is being set up. The right wing media have so far left him alone because he differs from the Labour establishment. Once his becoming leader causes the chaos they want, they will do to him what they always do to every progressive leader, and it will be effective.

The whole leadership challenge circus is so tragically unnecessary and counterproductive it really takes the mick. None of it deals with the basic problem that government has no control over the main causes of real problems. This could be changed, but not while our attention is so distracted.

I think Britain needs to understand our predicament. The reason no politician can come up with a course of policies that will solve real problems is because the billionaire class & its aspirants has us all by the short & curlies. Until that’s sorted we really might as well sod politics.

All the nonsense about Starmer standing down is nonsense. If the party tries to make him, they will make themselves even less popular than they currently are, and he’s daring them to do it. As lackluster as he is, collectively I think the party is worse. He didn’t lose those seats by himself.

Please explain why we’re not allowed to say that people are wrong when they demonstrably are. The collapse of education and the rhetoric of natural hierarchy (both the product of preserving economic inequality) have indeed rendered people thick: that’s why it was done.

I’ve noticed today that the British media (or at least the ones who aren’t there to protect unequal wealth) have started to rightly call what Mar-a-Lardo says a “rant”. This is a good thing. The sooner you’re disabused of the illusion that there’s a symmetrical “special relationship”, the better.

I wonder what Trump sycos in the UK are saying about costs rising due to the actions of their favorite justifier of venal behavior. I’m sure they’ll find a way to blame it on Labour/lefty/woke, but it’s always fun to hear the embarrassing particulars of the desperate argumentative gymnastics.

Autism spectrum: the “Boy who Cried Wolf” parable is constantly used to justify epistemic injustice against us. But what’s actually going on could be much better illustrated by a new parable: the Sheep who Cried “Black Sheep”. Willful hermeneutical ignorance has to be enforced, remember.

2/3 of the US are asses. Asses bray ignorantly about politics and vote according to whatever is the opposite of the verifiable (usually also the opposite of their own and everyone else’s interests). If anyone who understands anything speaks, the asses suddenly say they don’t want to talk politics.

The evidence that Trumpists’ only motivations are racism, misogyny, climate denial and aggrieved privilege is now overwhelming, but they will keep Democrats busy with any catastrophe they can engineer in order to minimize pushback on these points.

“Oh so what if international law is ignored, when the lives of real people are on the line.” People who talk like this don’t understand reality. They literally would not have the kind of existence that enables them to say this nonsense without international law. Ossified privilege is not progress

Can you do justice to diversity through a one-size-fits-all approach? Would you expect a lion to eat grass, or an ox to hunt? Would you ask the eagle about digging roots, or the rabbit about soaring on updrafts? Would you hold a marginal few responsible for the sins of the dominant many?

Brexit was not ordinary working people sticking it to the elites—quite the reverse. Brexiters allied their priorities with those of rapacious elite perverts who wished us very explicit ill. The stink of perversion was obvious to me from the beginning, and is there for everyone to smell now.

10. Idyllic Death Bridge Of The Acid Troll.
I got in the river to take this photo of the old bridge behind the house I was renting while I was writing my novel Villager. The water was calm that day but in winter, after a lot rain, it would get right up to the top of that archway and make the most terrifying sound which felt like I was hearing every dead soul it contained, gabbling about all that ailed them.

THREAD. The definitive list of the absolute best interdimensional portals I have photographed on walks in the British countryside. 1. Gateway To The Land Of Leaping Dogs.
I took this photo on the Teign Estuary in Devon in spring 2022. I thought I was just taking a photo of an attractive hole in an old tree. It was only when I got home and looked through my camera roll that I saw the leaping dog, who I'd caught perfectly framed, mid-leap, totally by chance. I remembered the dog immediately, because of what an annoying twat it had been.

The pardon for Hernandez makes an obvious & absolute mockery of each & every attempt to rationalise, or even justify, Trump's treatment of Maduro. I'm not sure this single, simple point can be stressed enough. Once again, he proves his critics right & reduces his supporters to epic moral corruption.
