Time For a Democratic Socialists of Britain?
We've got the new left challengers, who've formed an alliance with TUSC to form the People's Alliance of the Left to challenge Labour at the ballot box, but what about existing socialist MPs? Gracing the politics public with very little fanfare, there is a new grouping of left Labour MPs on the block. Comprising mostly of newer comrades who are members of the Socialist Campaign Group of MPs, it aims to do the critical loyalty thing. I.e. Back the Labour leadership when it's on the right tracks, but constructively pressuring it when it's not. If we reflect on Keir Starmer's time as l... read more

“What's happening behind those houses? Pictured here are not auroras but nearby light pillars, a nearby phenomenon that can appear as a distant one. In most places on Earth, a lucky viewer can see a Sun-pillar, a column of light appearing to extend up from the Sun caused by flat fluttering ice-crystals reflecting sunlight from the upper atmosphere. Usually these ice crystals evaporate before reaching the ground. During freezing temperatures, however, flat fluttering ice crystals may form near the ground in a form of light snow, sometimes known as a crystal fog. These ice crystals ... read more

Chet Raymo, “The Spark of Life”
*“The Spark of Life”* by Chet Raymo "In a previous post I quoted Teilhard de Chardin referring to the discovery of electromagnetic waves as a "prodigious biological event." A biological event? What could he mean? The universe was awash with electromagnetic waves long before life appeared on Earth, or anywhere else in the universe. The cosmic microwave background radiation- the residue of the big bang- is electromagnetic. Starlight is an electromagnetic wave. You can "discover" electromagnetic waves by opening your eyes.

On Contact: Ulysses At 100One hundred years ago this week, Sylvia Beach, who ran the bookstore Shakespeare and Company on 12 rue de l’Odéon in Paris, placed a copy of a book she had published, ‘Ulysses’ by James Joyce, in the window. Ulysses, with white letters on a blue book cover, had been rejected by publishers in English-speaking countries. The story takes place during a single day in Dublin, June 16, 1904. It would swiftly become one of the most important novels of the 20th century, at once ancient and modern, drawing its inspiration from Homer’s ‘The Odyssey’. Ulysses is the Latin name for Homer’s he... read more

“It is easy to overlook this thought that life just is. As humans we are inclined to feel that life must have a point. We have plans and aspirations and desires.

Yet its impulse to exist, to be, is every bit as strong as ours - arguably even stronger.
