Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

It was great to be part of the discussion and offer a perspective as both a parishioner of @churchofengland.org and a member of @seaoffaithnetwork.bsky.social and @humanists.uk - there are lots of people for whom the church is significant even if they dont hold typical Christian beliefs.

Parishioner @cestnickell.bsky.social said he'd like an Archbishop to believe in a "truly national church, a service for everyone ... Lots of non-religious people like a sacred space - the music and the culture of the church - but feel they can't go because they don't believe the right things."

Whatever your views of Palestine Action, considering that we have people attempting to set alight to hotels housing people seeking asylum, attacks on minorities, backlogs for sexual assault cases etc etc, can we not agree that this is a massive overreaction by the Met?

A duck walked up to the lemonade stand and he said to the terf running the stand, “hey, bom bom bom, got any grapes?” The terf said “no, just lemonade, but do you have a penis or a vagina? No vagina, no glass” The duck said “I’ll pass” The terf said “NO YOU DON’T WE CAN ALWAYS TELL”

I keep meaning to print a t-shirt with the slogan 'Man-made god, man-made money, man-made borders'. If people thought of these things as changeable human creations, not natural facts, how different people's attitudes to religion, social justice and migration would be!

There is some weird tempo changes and clipped beats in Emmi's Laika party and I'd love to know what the reasoning is. It's really interesting. #eurosong

Top for me on #eurosong is Bobbi Arlo Then Niyl and Samantha's My Way Then Adgy, Emmi and Fire. I just didn't find Laika party as much of a bop as I'd normally find that kind of song. Niyl's growth is the one that grew on me most. I think the sound mixing really did Bobbi dirty.

I slipped Power Play into a playlist last night without telling anyone what it was, and people were really bopping to it. Really hope Bobbi Arlo gets selected for #ireland at #eurovision

from a UK perspective I can confirm people throw around 𝙀𝙪𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙖𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚™️ too quickly, but Bobbi Arlo would absolutely keep Ireland in the final, the Irish Eurovision renÉiressance is alive and well.

I’m committed to putting London on a pathway to ending rough sleeping for good by 2030. That is why I’m delivering an additional £10m in funding—the biggest ever single investment—to help more Londoners build their lives away from the streets.

I think if someone could link up the live A&E performance data available on some hospital websites with these figures, and produce some sort of running count, it could be really impactful.
