Oh god it’s “social contagion” all over again isn’t it. Even now, Very Serious People are firing up the Take Furnaces to unprecedented temperatures as they seek a way to show that this is causing (altogether now…) “irreversible damage”

I imagine it has its downsides too, though

Also, they are COWARDS for presenting the release version in the most boring silver imaginable, after all the culture war nonsense when they released the pink concept renderings. Truly the aesthetics of fascism – but then, given the starting price of £130,000, I guess that's their target market

Also "mustn't shy away from." When a right-wing politician says that they "mustn't shy away from talking about XYZ," this is like Hannibal Lecter not shying away from eating people or a squirrel boldly (and in defiance of an alleged urban liberal consensus) choosing to run around outside.

Also, it seems that the “St John” is pronounced “Saint John” not “sinjun”, because of *course* it is, pronouncing it any other way would be *stupid*, what sort of clown country would *do* that

An interesting one to read from a Quaker perspective, that: a shared emphasis on discernment and on one’s feelings – properly discerned – as a spiritual guide (“Take heed, dear Friends, to the promptings of love and truth in your hearts…”)

They're dragging the full choir out of bed for it at 9.30 in the morning, so I guess it must be a big deal one way or another

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.

I'm still haunted by the time I took our eldest to an open day at Warwick University, and at one point he asked: "How did they manage to *build* this?" It was unimaginable to him that an entire university could be created from scratch within the space of a few years – let alone *dozens* of them

I mean, being trapped in a 1960s mindset could have its advantages. At least we managed to *build stuff* back then.

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
