Winston notes, 'He is too intelligent. He sees too clearly and speaks too plainly.' Winston predicts, correctly, that Syme will become an unperson. 🤔🤔🤔

I'm enjoying reading the book "Protestants" by Alec Ryrie, an historical look at Protestants from Reformation to today. It's strong on recurring historical patterns of religious/political thought, and wil be useful for those wanting to get inside the shape shifting nature of Protestantism.

I don't get why Christians are so keen on oil & gas. It seems like solar and wind are the most beautifully Christian-aligned forms of energy production possible - abundant, God-given and aligned with Christian imagery of light and air. Oil & gas are hellish in comparison. What am I missing?

I spent some time looking at "Truth" Social today. Mainly out of curiosity. Every single post is propaganda, a lie. All posts are AI generated imagery. Not a single authentic interaction or discussion, besides the vast accounts all new accounts are auto-subscribed to.

The scenes of genocide and massacres coming out of Sudan are utterly gut-wrenching, and amongst the most inhumane things I've ever seen. The UAE - Dubai, Abu Dhabi - is grotesque in its support for these militias, and for not exerting its power to prevent this. #Sudan
