• I am sad that [[Thatcherism]] is a thing.

  • Listened: [[The Tory leadership race and the ghost of Margaret Thatcher]]

• [[Commons]]

  • Watching: [[This Land is Our Land]]

• Listening: [[The Value of a Whale with Adrienne Buller]]

• Reflecting that in 1976 [[The Lucas Plan]] was put together by factory workers to counter proposed job cuts. It was based on notions of [[socially useful production]] and included things like heat pumps, wind turbines, energy efficient houses. In 1976!

• I watched [[The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution]] and [[The Weather Underground]] documentaries. Almost hard to comprehend what a powder keg the 60s and 70s were in America. The cold-blooded murder of [[Fred Hampton]] is truly shocking… words fail.

• Also germane to think how the artwork of [[Emory Douglas]] and The Black Panther paper got the party to places where they might not otherwise have reached.
