Half an hour will officially mark the beginning of week 8 in hospital btw. My PET/CT scan on Monday showed that the infection of my aortic graft has slightly improved but is still active. My heart surgeon is keen to avoid further surgery so we're continuing with the IV antibiotics indefinitely.

Pay attention to the loyalists gloating over the Garvaghy Road verdict by the Parades Commission. Their cries about "nationalist supremacism" and "so much for a New Ireland" are pure projections, they play victim to try and disguise (albeit poorly) their sectarian triumphalism.

Hard to think that ten years ago today marked the first Premiership derby between Celtic and Rangers since 2012. A 5-1 demolition in Celtic's favour. A Moussa Dembelé hat trick. Celtic go on to a treble-winning Invincibles season. All nearly a decade ago now. Madness!

The Orange Order's push, after 28 years, to march down the Garvaghy Road just demonstrates that mutual respect is still an alien notion to loyalism and seemingly always will be. The residents have once again made it very clear where they stand and want nothing to do with the sectarian shitfest.

This is honestly the most incredible victory. If you know anything about the relevant discursive history your jaw is on the floor. Like my god. We're gonna win.
The most controversial conclusion I have drawn, from a Marxist perspective at least, is that we need markets after capitalism. In late twentieth-century debates, any allowance for markets was treated as a concession to capitalism. But markets make a viable postcapitalist society more decentralized, adaptable, and open to experiment.

Across the twentieth century, attempts to make Marxism serve as a guide to a society or economy beyond capitalism often blocked people from thinking more freely about new institutions.
The mistake Marxists made was to identify market exchange with profit-oriented investment. Markets and currencies existed for thousands of years before capitalism without producing a dynamic economy organized around profit. We need to preserve exchange while abolishing the power of private profitability to direct investment.

Still in hospital btw. Will be here til mid September. Five days in A&E, few days on ward, shifted to another hospital nearly 2hrs down the road for nearly a week to get scans and such done then back in this ward. Still being pumped with antibiotics, which is why I'll be here for weeks yet.

Update: Still in (another) hospital and am on a ward and such at least. They have diagnosed aortitis (inflammation of the aorta itself), which is rarer than endo but they still want to do more scans to make sure it hasn't spread to my valve or anything.

Just saw an Ulster loyalist page claim, without a hint of irony or self-awareness, that Protestants moving out of the Fountain area of Derry and into other housing developments was "ethnic cleansing". It was a gross example of preferential housing over Catholics, plain and simple.

Been in hospital since Sat after days of migraines, weakness, fevers, etc. First I was treated for suspected meningitis, then told it was endocarditis, now they qpparently have no idea what it is? Either way, they've at least pinned down that it's related to my heart and recent valve surgery.

MLS is either the twilight league for successful European players nearing the end of their careers, or the purgatory league for players whose careers are in limbo. Overall, being in the MLS is the "creative has nothing for you" equivalent of football.

I listen to a lot of old and mostly obscure techno/dance/electronic music from the 80s and 90s via YouTube, and sometimes you see the original artists in the comments thanking those for remembering and still enjoying their music. That's just so cool to me.

The 1977 Coleco Telstar Arcade answered the question, "What if a game console looked like a Wild West take on the TARDIS console?"
A brown triangular prism. The top side is used to for the triangular top-loading cartridges (this cartridge has Road Race, Tennis, and Quick Draw). The facing side is the pinball interface, with two paddles, a rotary switch, 'Slam Left', 'Slam Right', a skill selector, a power switch, and a reset button. The far side is a racing interface, with steering wheel and gear selector. The right side is shooting game interface, with a realistic looking sidearm and three buttons in holes. The interface panels alternate woodgrain and faux metal.

According to the loyal brethren of Ulster, taking kids to watch bonfires - upon which artefacts of another side's culture and effigies of real living people are placed to be burned - is just "culture", but kids attending pride parades or drag queen story times is "wrong" and amounts to "grooming."

Have spent the late night/early morning listening to bands I enjoyed in my teens, one of which being Life of Agony, and decided to look up and check in with them and their singer as I was aware of the transition some years ago, and... uhh, what?
Screenshot of the 'Personal Life' section of the Wikipedia article for Life of Agony singer Keith Caputo, who formerly identified as a transgender woman. This paragraph in particular details Caputo's detransition and his vitriolic swing towards anti-trans dogwhistles and support of Donald Trump.

Highlighted in blue: "He added that he was "very against transitioning children medically and especially surgically". He said he was glad Donald Trump won the 2024 United States presidential election due to his campaign promise to ban sex reassignment and cross-sex hormones for minors."

Linfield Football Club are crying about a flag bearing their badge appearing in an Alliance Party post about tackling abusive flags, and demanding an apology. The same Linfield that continues to flirt with, if not cater to, its notoriously sectarian support base.
Linfield's 2020-21 away strip, which bears obvious colour resemblance to the classic flags and iconography of the original Ulster Volunteer Force founded in 1912 to oppose Home Rule and reinforce Protestant supremacism over Catholics in the north of Ireland. Linfield claimed this was "coincidental."

Daniel "Des" Sanchez Estrada was sentenced last week to 30 years in prison. His crime? Transporting a box of zines, allegedly in an attempt to conceal them from police & prosecutors. The prosecution called these zines "Antifa materials." gunsguardsandgovernance.substack.com/p/decades-fo...
What documents or records did he conceal? The items in question were a box of zines, essentially political pamphlets. These zines are constitutionally protected speech. Anyone can find them online and print them out. People distribute zines just like this at protests, bookfairs, infoshops, independent bookstores, and punk shows, among other places. When they do so, they’re not doing anything criminal. They’re just sharing literature.

To make these political pamphlets sound more nefarious, the prosecution repeatedly describes them as “antifa materials.” For instance, the DOJ’s press release says that Des corruptly concealed documents “by transporting a box containing numerous Antifa materials, such as insurrection planning, anti-law enforcement, anti-government, and anti-immigration enforcement documents and propaganda from Sanchez Estrada’s residence to a location in Denton, Texas.” How can we know which political tracts count as “antifa materials”? How do you know that you’re not in possession of “antifa materials” at this very moment?

The prosecutors claim that Des moved this box of zines “intending to conceal the box’s contents and impair its availability for use in a federal grand jury and federal criminal proceeding.” Des’s public defender disputes this.A circle A with a butterfly, breaking chains, and a box of zines. At the top of the circle are the words "Free Des Revol"

The box has the phrase "Zines are not a crime"

The art is signed "Inhuman '25"
