I see that Westminster Cathedral has a "Red Mass to mark the start of the legal year" on Thursday. I don't know what a "Red Mass" is, but I imagine Game of Thrones fans will be nervous

Red Mass to mark the start of the legal year (Full Choir)
Missa Sancti Nicolai (K, G, A) - Haydn
Scapulis suis - Malcolm
Sanctus VIII, Agnus VIII
Organ: Fantasia super Komm Heiliger Geist (BWV 651) - J.S. Bach

My favourite quote from Richard Dawkins, even beating the honey tweet, is this snippet from his book, The Ancestor's Tale

The ‘mountain gorilla’ was ‘discovered’ — he shot it! — by the German Robert von Beringe as late as 1902. As we shall see, it is now regarded as a subspecies of the eastern gorilla, and the whole eastern species now — unfairly, one might think — bears his name: Gorilla beringei.

The problem for UK Labour’s launch of its industrial “strategy” today is that they are announcing the building of one new ship while millions of Londoners are without water and a third bridge across the Thames is at risk of closure. They are trapped in a 1960’s mindset

Seems to be a lot of YouTube discourse (derogatory) about Greta Gerwig's Narnia adaptation. Am I correct that, so far, the amount of actual footage we have is zero (0) minutes and zero (0) seconds, so everyone is basically just reacting to the cast list? www.netflix.com/tudum/articl...

The Star Wars crawler text was inspired by the Buck Rogers serials, and this example made me realise why Star Wars is Episode IV: because you’re meant to feel like you’re a *child*, and *this is your first visit to the cinema*. That’s why you didn’t see Episode III last week. youtu.be/VaA9eJb9FN8

Buck Rogers crawler text, from an old black and white movie:

Foreword

CHAPTER TEN

BUCK ROGERS and Wilma
returning from Saturn
encounter a Killer Kane Patro
Squadron which brings their
space ship down in flames.

The Kane soldiers land and
take the unconscious Hidden
City people prisoners.

More artists withdrawing from the Ed Sheeran tour over his decision to drop Macklemore for his pro-Palestine stance

Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed.
I have decided to withdraw from my upcoming tour dates with Ed Sheeran.
I stand with Palestine and its people.

We have made the decision to depart as Ed Sheeran's band on the remaining US Loop tour, following the silencing of Macklemore by zionist lobbies.
We are a traditional Irish band who never saw ourselves playing in stadiums of that size and that opportunity is not lost on us. We have been friends with Ed for over 10 years now and will continue to be. We believe in dialogue as a means of progressing the plight of the Palestinian people.

I have made the decision to withdraw as a support act for Ed Sheeran's 'The Loop' North American Tour.
I don't take the decision lightly. Ed has been a friend to me and has changed my life, I could never thank him enough for this.
But as Irish people we know all too well about genocide, forced famine and violent occupation.
I cannot stand by and allow billionaires to use their position of power to silence the rightful voices of those who speak up against Israeli genocide and who highlight the savage murder of children.
I would lose all respect for myself to carry on as normal.
I need to be true to myself and my ancestors who resisted colonisation, and fought for a freedom that I enjoy today in Ireland.

time was if you wanted a wolverine game you called up acclaim or etc and they gave it to some lads from scunthorpe named like Galactic Visions who would code a 6/10 third person action game for PS2 xbox and gamecube in ten months. and it would cost about £500 and a few curries

It’s a pity that so many people find “The Last Battle” unpalatable (for reasons I understand!), because there is some extremely sharp stuff in there about how theology and religious language and imagery can be weaponised to abuse people and to achieve power that feels quite timely right now.⚓️✝️
