There’s a simple solution to Fisher Derangement Syndrome - if it isn’t Flatline Constructs or about British music, don’t read it. Pretend it doesn’t exist. If you’re going to read capitalist realism accept it is memoir

Nothing “impressive” about the “connectedness of the medieval world” to me. They should have been much more connected and they were stupid for not being so
Was Venice's iconic Winged Lion statue made in China?
Isotope analysis indicates this symbol of Venetian statehood was made from a modified Tang Dynasty tomb guardian, a reminder of the impressive connectedness of the medieval world.

ALT Illustration of a lion with wings in profile, coloured with six different colours on different sections. The colours represent phases of casting, and phases 1 and 2 (the majority of the main body) are ascribed to the original Tang sculpture.

Dream last night - spying on the Granita meeting but it was a greasy spoon - Blair ordered hotdog with mustard (on Cherie’s orders), Brown ordered beef burger with cheese, wimpy style sausage and ketchup & mayonnaise mixed together. Repeated mixing sauces made it a DIRTY BURGER.

Blair BTL reforms literally and primarily about making him and Jack Straw personally fuck-off rich

Unrelated, but reminded of the classic ‘Blair didn’t know who Mosaddegh was and was shocked to find out’

Blair comes out against Men’s Mental Health on the same day that Starmer wants to sell all U.K. pothole data(?) to Marc Andreessen and Reeves is imagining the rope like David in David: Story Of David… what a great day for a Labour right haters

It’s just factual that ‘British values’ were invented by the Blair government in 1998! Literally in living memory. Doesn’t mean they’re bad or even not worth aspiring to necessarily. But they exist less meaningfully than Wetherspoons
Matt Goodwin isn’t very British. He doesn’t get our values, our culture, or our history.
Britain has always been about different communities coming together to form one nation.

Rather than insult Cherie Blair we should instead Cherish Blair… he won’t be around forever

Tony Blair should do a kind of ‘Ey Jamesy! Rock it, man!’ Surprise video appearance next time Andy Burnham’s on tv

Only a guy as racist as Blair could have invented Scottish values and secular Welsh identity

British state is still the imperial state, shrunk but unreformed; we’re all on a table labeled ‘races: most to least martial’.
The state is also the body that mediates between groups in society; see the invention of ‘community leaders’

One of the very few positives of Kemalism tbh. Brits on average are not republican enough in their understanding of society and still cling to feudal conventions of decency expressed through noblesse oblige. Whereas we know bourgeois state is state and you have to survive.

Top 5 indie albums (much more interesting list) you’d keep a couple of these (not sure which ones) but of course you’d instead have:
Gerald - Black Secret Technology
Autechre - tri rep (I’m basic)
808 State - Newbuild
Etc etc
