Two international flights have departed the city of Irkutsk in Siberia this morning, travelling from the epicentre of an apparent outbreak of pneumonic plague. This morning’s flights have travelled to Beijing in China and Uzbekistan. Madness. We have learned nothing.

Beginning Wednesday, October 7, we we’ll be off on holiday for a couple of weeks. Completely unplugged. No tech. Just books and good wine and sunshine.

...literally SHOOK the entire building, and from the sheer thoughtfulness of Lily to arrange such a thing. I'm crying just typing this. Lily is a rare person and I am the luckiest man on earth to have her both as my best friend and my wife. (He did play other pieces, but she knew what that one does)

...well then that beautiful woman brought out one of the most respected organ scholars in England. He played Widor (because of course), the Toccata from Symphony #5. What can I say? I collapsed in the pew. I can't recall when I have cried harder - both from the beauty of the music and how it...

I had a call from @revdrlily.bsky.social this afternoon asking me to come to the parish. I did so, because I love her. Also, she said she had a present for me for which I needed to be present. When I arrived she kissed me sweetly and then asked me to sit in the front pew of an empty church. Then...

You're posting this on social media. I'm not trying to be churlish, but if you believe this so strongly, erase all your apps. Personally, I have found that BlueSky (the only SM I partake in) has been a great community building place. Mileage may vary, of course.

Anybody else ever go on that little space experience at the CN Tower back in the 80s? I just realized they stole the Central Scrutinizer from Frank Zappa? Remember that? They inoculated you, took you through passport control, then you got catapulted through "Gateway?" Tell me someone remembers.

It happens. I have the privilege of flying with a lot of Muslims sitting to my right. I watched a radicalized man detonate himself just 15 feet in front of me at Edgware Road in 2005. I say man because these people do not believe the Koran. They are not Muslims. They are murderers.

The whole Right Wing Billionaire world is trying to fix the Brazilian elections so Lula doesn't win. This is their 'democracy' a lie. Make sure Brazil wins, not Donald Trump, Mark Zuckerberg and Palantir.
