So… the argument is that Iraq etc were too restrained? And is total destruction now the objective?
Just totally baffling. And disturbing. They do know how it went when Ludendorff advocated the same approach?
🎶 I can’t decide whether you should live or die. Oh, you’ll probably go to heaven. Please don’t hang your head and cry. 🎧
Perfect soundtrack for the commute to a day of teaching on eschatology and theosis!
Lichfield and Southwark.
Please could all the inclusive diocesan bishop in the #CofEpeeps please stop announcing their retirement. Thank you. ⚓️
The declyne of readinge ys caused by manye thinges. A huge cause ys a systematic & decades-long devaluinge of literature at all levels of educacioun. We kan not put instrumentalitye above meaninge and still thrive. Fundinge the humanityes ys key to a just societye of well-informed citizens.
a scribe sitting at a writing desk, in a setting of around 1400 Europe. he is writing with a quill in one book, while another book is opened, and two more books are present on and in the writing desk.
Tab hoarding is leading to stress and information overload, and distraction, since the Middle Ages. #tabhoarding
For me it's also in the same mental category as drugs: something I do not want to touch with a ten-foot pole because I am way too much of a control freak, especially and in particular about anything to do with my own cognition. Stay the fuck out of my brain.
In a speech today, the leader of the Conservative party laments those whose political allegiances are swayed by factors other than Britain’s national interest.
For a moment there I thought this might be evidence of some introspective humility on the part of the Tory party… but alas no.
Many white and blue hyacinths in pots and in beds, with Narcissi beginning to get going as well.
I generally worry that I haven’t planted enough Hyacinths, but this cluster around the front door is bliss. The smell! 🌿🌱
This is WONDERFUL
Oh, to live in a world which isn't set on tearing nations and societies apart and devastating countless lives...

'The self, the place where we live, is a place of illusion. Goodness is connected with the attempt to see the unself, to see and to respond to the real world in the light of a virtuous consciousness' (Iris Murdoch, "The Sovereignty of the Good".
Its fun for the first week or so. And i think it would be more fun if we committed to longer readings… but in short chunks it feels like those Japanese animes in 100 episodes in which almost nothing happens in every episode!
Galatians is the light relief in death-by-Genesis-tide!!!
I listen to the office on the daily prayer app on my way to work and, it may just be me, but it sounds like even the readers have a little eye roll when they announce, “A reading from the book Genesis.”

The Allister Heath headline generator is very funny.
Please do the cross stitch!
It is two days later and I am still laughing at the reading at evensong on monday from Jeremiah which began, in the King James Version: “MY BOWELS! MY BOWELS!”
Having family members with IBS it just landed rather differently. #CofEpeeps ⚓️

A gloriously uplifting mass and a deliciously Barthian sermon from Mthr Sally at St Mary Magdalene Munster Square @dioceseoflondon.bsky.social. Lent is off to a strong start there.
Folk thynke that innovacioun yn academia will come from technologye. It will come ynstead from settinge asyde olde assumptions and hierarchies and givinge people more chances to trulye and radicallye thynke wyth each othir wyth no specific outcome yn mynde.

That is a very satisfying fact.
Preeeeeeeeesh!
Rahner makes so much more sense as an AuDHD theologian.
- Struggles to find his niche and his place in academic structures as a young person.
- Use of short form writing as the basis for his work
- Aspirations to a bigger system thwarted by creative thinking in endless tangents.
Pondering.
While the new bishop of Durham is announced. Very appropriate!
Post of the season? @hannahmerich.bsky.social can there be some kind of sweepstake next year?
Women need to have more children for Matt Goodwin but if they have more than two you can't get any state help and the women can't be Jewish also we will tax the childless women.
This is a list of public speakers who have frustrated me. It is a list which is connected by Epstein's money, and by eugenics. The pseudo-science of eugenics has to die in the academy for the academy to be truly useful to societies which have to live in reality.
