So far TODAY Israel has:

- bombed Gaza City
- bombed Khan Younis
- shot and killed five Palestinians in Gaza City
- refused to open the Rafah border crossing
- announced they would once more block aid

This is what a "ceasefire" with Israel looks like. This is what it has always looked like.

Lastly, we don't need any more poems rearranging words from archival material. Please. No more.

Also, moral clarity is salutary in a person, but gets tiring in poetry.

I don't know if this is unhinged but a lot of poets today who are both popular (as far as poetry is popular at all) and respected should really have been pop songwriters or ad jingle writers. Their poems are too definite about what they want to be definite about.

This is one of many reasons I prefer a trade paperback to any fancy special edition. I want a book I can read in the course of my actual everyday life, not something to enshrine on a shelf and occasionally gloat over.

Those images where the cover of the book is in the centre and it has little call-outs saying 'enemies to lovers', 'lots of swearing' etc etc.

Palaces should be old
And crumbling
Or reopened as hospitals

(Heritage hotels
Are good places to be
Sick in)

I love short little books (like Fleur Jaegy's Sweet Days Of Discipline) but also really long ones like Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain. It really doesn't matter what length a novel is as long as the author knew what they were doing.

In case you aren’t aware, any video you see with the label “Sora” is A.I. generated. It’s fake.

Do NOT make or share #AI videos. It contributes to misinformation, and to a larger culture of disrespect for truth and disregard of reality.

Plus it enriches capitalist techbros raping the planet.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Whether it's a ceasefire or 'Peace', this is what it looks like. Not just the results of two years, this is the result of generations, but Netanyahu should be held to account for the recent atrocity. He's destroyed one nation, and made his own people pariahs too.

While the perpetrators of Gaza’s genocide pose as its saviours, survivors return home – to a wasteland | Nesrine Malik

Western leaders attending the Sharm el-Sheikh summit have enabled and sponsored this slaughter. They are in no position to build a Palestinian future, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

This leftover track from Cathedral's The Last Spire sessions is wild. Lock yourself away for half an hour of Dorriancore eccentric doom.

Ukraine's Heruvium have released their debut full-length and it's full of lively, interesting and heavy death metal songs rooted in old school dm. I love that the music is so rich but still within a no-frills dm framework.

If you haven’t seen it, this footage from @apnews.com is incredibly important.

The intent here seems unmistakable, in two ways: (1) just read the genocide convention, here it **absolutely** is, and (2) this level of infrastructural destruction is, no question, meant as pre-development demolition.
