The Convict thinks he is a caring and considerate man, believing in a loving God.
When told that some of his policies are the antithesis of this in a sermon in church he accused the Bishop of being too left win.
Fuck him.
Here's the sermon in full.

Watch out for the sleight of hand whilst we are being outraged.

To the crowds cheering Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement:
Do you think you live on a different planet, which climate breakdown does not affect?
Do you imagine only greens and progressives will be harmed by Earth systems collapse?
Do you believe you can win an argument with physics?
There's any number of things that the convict is up to today that are cause for concern. (I promised myself I wouldn't get riled by his actions today, but here we are.)
This one is the most stupid and damaging.

Oh God. Where was that poll?
I'm pleased that everyone in Europe - apart from a few right wing extremists - wants Musk to just fuck right off.
Hopefully that means he's damaging the fascists rather than boosting them.

Gaiman breaks his silence.
It's not an apology (or even an acknowledgement of what happened.)

Okay, you're blocked.
One question then: do you consider the genocide in Gaza to be excusable?
<sigh>
The problem with this article is that the author maintains that "anti-Zionism is antisemitism". Conflating the two muddies the message: the current leaders of Israel are culpable for war crimes.
So I'd like a bit more information about what exactly this antisemitism is.
Owen tells it like it is. There are many of these analyses around: the question is what to do about their conclusions?

Not just defence. Boosting spending across the board. Which means boosting taxation.
Impossible to answer given the character limit. But briefly: yes it can be done by increasing taxation. The how is much more difficult.
“We’ve given up on some ambitious continuation of the egalitarian agenda of making the most powerful economic actors accountable to democratic control, making them contribute to the public goods we need to fund.”

But that *does* work much better!
Aaaargh!
Thank you again 😄
Thank you!
God, I hate the way that replies are set out here. They don't seem to follow one from the other at all ....
If you find out how to do that please let me know!
Bizarrely I've got two versions of a reply from you in my notifications, Kate. Did you send two?
Ah, I understand now.
I'm not sure you understand the attraction of FB entirely, Kate (unless you are being deliberately provocative, in which case fair enough).
Here is a good replacement for Twitter, but it's nowhere near as good as FB for groups, pages etc etc.
Unless I'm missing something.
I don't think they're really talking about the "boomer generation" here.
People in their 40s are at least 20 years younger than us. It's the next generation down.

A bit of an advert for a book of photos, but the article contains that genuine sensawunder.

Since when did making clear what is truthful and factual amount to censorship?
I recognise three, which I guess means I am officially old.
A bit of an unusual post from David Allen Green and a bit late for the Christmas season but I've just come across it and found it fascinating.
A good bit of detective work (and a reason to distrust AI).
