I originally misread this as this …

Richard Seymour has the goods
article text reads: So what happened here? Why would a Labour government, tanking in the polls, particularly vulnerable in the West Midlands, suddenly trigger a national emergency over the banning of away fans, over which it has no say? Why would it suddenly reveal a degree of urgency and focus that shows in no other area of policymaking, apart from locking up grannies? Why would it be so ridiculously offensive and inflammatory to Muslim voters? Why would it launch an absurdly politicised attack on status quo institutions like police and safety advisory groups? Why didn't they simply say, as almost any other government would have done, that this is a matter for police and safety experts? Not that I doubt Starmer's ability to make moronic decisions on his own, but this one feels like the work of the Home Secretary, who was warned of a likely ban last week. They must have thought it would be a great fight to pick. Why not? The broadcasters and tabloids would rally behind the government, the Tories would be nodding dogs, the independent MPs would be smeared as antisemites and possible

Quote from New Yorker article that reads Nearly seventy thousand Palestinians have been killed, and more than a hundred and seventy thousand have been injured. At least two million have been internally displaced. As many as a hundred thousand have been forced out of the Gaza Strip. Civilian infrastructure— roads, sewage, electricity, and municipal services—-has been destroyed. More than ninety per cent of residential buildings have been reduced to rubble. Some ninety-five per cent of people face severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine. Disease and malnutrition have spread as the medical infrastructure has collapsed. The education system is in ruins.

It turns out fine and normal Tories are actually sickening NF-style racists. More as we get it

I would say guess which no mark poet this guy is retooling but I’ll just post the original note
Yes it’s a poem by Seamus Heaney xlviii Strange how things in the offing, once they’re sensed, Convert to things foreknown; And how what’s come upon its manifest Only in light of what has been gone through. Seventh heaven may be The whole truth of a sixth sense come to pass. At any rate, when light breaks over me The way it did on the road beyond Coleraine Where wind got saltier, the sky more hurried And silver lamé shivered on the Bann Out in mid-channel between the painted poles, That day I’ll be in step with what escaped me.

This may be my favourite internet comment of the past five years
A Substack comment from someone called Gene Botkin that reads This... ain't great. For example, in the first stanza, he rhymes sense with manifest. But a more euphonic rhyme would be: Strange how things in the offing, once they're sensed, Convert to things foreknown In thought that finds itself condensed And come to think of it... This actually isn't poetry. It's just a paragraph with the 'Enter' key pressed after every third line. Am I wrong? I mean... What's the meter? The style? The rhyme scheme? I don't see it.

I like the way this headline leaves it up to the reader whether she was killed or was doing the killing
Guardian headline reads: “Husband 'watched in horror' as wife killed on golf course in Sutton Coldfield”

You cannot seize power and impose anarchy on people from above. You cannot make a revolution for them and force them to live in a new society. Anarchist ideals will win only when people realize their strength, taking responsibility for their own lives and each other’s. Therefore, the main thing is to restore people’s faith in their own strength
