WHAT KIND OF PAINT ARE YOU USING TO PAINT OVER THIS BECAUSE IF IT IS LATEX, IT'S PROBABLY WAY TOO COLD FOR P. YOU WANT GOOD ADHEASION, YOU NEED LIKE AT LEAST 40-45" MAYBE WAIT TIL IT WARMS UP A LITTLE, I MEAN WHAT'S THE 319 RUSH? LIKE, I'M IN A RUSH NOW, BUT OUR SITUATIONS ARE DIFFERENT
So the candidate who left school at 16 with no A-Levels and who's spent her whole adult life vocational, manual jobs beat the ivory tower academic turned cushy media pundit, but you can be sure we'll still get plenty more casual description of the latter as "white working class".
I don't think it ever came up, in teaching or conversation, during the main part of my training - but it was shown (of all things) as an evening activity on the Christian-Muslim dialogue summer school.
LLMs are cathedrals that are unaware they’re building themselves.
Nearly a year into many trans people in the UK being forced to use disabled toilets or asked to work from home pending legal advice and stuff and I haven't seen a single "Izzy's boss told her she has to use a disabled toilet, here's how she feels about it" piece in the papers.
Wishing a meaningful & reflective Mark Wahlberg 40 Day Challenge to all who observe.
Just passed a church where their decoration is a crucified Jesus is coming down off the cross under his own power. okay.
Trouble! For those who minister
I'm being mean - it's hugely compelling, all credit to the BBC for keeping it this *weird*, and the bulk of the local adaptational choices are deft (especially in terms of making something a young cast could act with such clarity). But it was always gonna risk buckling under the weight of Discourse.
OK, none of the above. Turns out the big twist was someone thinking the back end of LotF, of all places, is somewhere to stick a very telegraphed "look, we *can* detoxify masculinity" message. Which I suppose is a bit less surprising if you're the renowned writer of Adolescence.
But maybe they'll fly Petty Officer Fred to Malaysia?
OK, 10 minutes in. They're probably not gonna fly Rory Kinnear out to Malaysia after that, are they?
About to watch the final episode of the BBC Lord of the Flies adaptation. Calling it now that the big twist is gonna be that the naval captain who rescues them at the end turns out to be Ralph's dad.

A black and white photo of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Bonhoeffer is a white male. He is in his 30s, white male with round wire rimmed glasses and thining blond hair. He is sitting in a high back garden chair and is facing to the right focused on someone off camera with his left hand behind his head. He is wearing a grey 3 piece suit and grey tie.
Sunday Bonhoeffer:
"There is so much meanness, selfishness and hatred among the nations of the world but we must overcome it. Against that we know only one mean: keep your eyes open and your hearts."

Notes made during his time at Union Thological Seminary 30-31
i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals
Enjoying it very much so far!
A bag containing: September 1st 1939 by Ian Sansom Fair by Jen Calleja When the Clock Broke by John Ganz Small Rain by Garth Greenwell En finir avec Eddy Belleguele by Edouard Louis (and a notebook and some tissues)
Right, off to Paris for a long weekend of food and art. Here's what's in my book bag
For some context: Jonathan Myrick Daniels was from NH. Episcopal seminarian in the 1960s, he decided to join the Freedom Riders in AL. He was killed by a shopkeeper when he stepped between him and a little Black girl. Shopkeeper was aiming a shotgun at the girl, and shot him instead.
One of the most lovely-odd experiences of my time at CDSP was of my exchange partner driving me on a day trip hundreds of miles south to Carmel, in part to show me a small private shopfront gallery dedicated entirely to Earle's (non-Disney) paintings, which he described as 'the centre of his world'.
It's a big day for those fluent in the good grammar of civility looking to deploy decorum to mask agendas of cruelty
God is working today in the committed relationships of same-sex couples
The book has some screaming problems (most of them editorial) but I really rate her instincts - she's the most sensible thing to be associated with this whole (not that) Quiet Revival. And I think James B will be a great interlocutor for her.
oh, I'd been waiting for this!
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, grew up to appreciate that this meme doesn't technically work because the sentence which starts with this phrase isn't (quite) the last sentence of the book.
