I feel this is appropriate: I was blown away by *this* scene, but lost respect when he (spoiler) repeated the monologue at the end. I just had an image of him practicing it in the mirror so he'd look cool. Likewise any swagger/bravado Trump has is manufactured and acted.

I was uneasy with some of the words spoken at the memorial last year after the Heaton Park attack; I was saddened by the chants spoken the following day at the Palestinian march. I wish the goal of peace could be spoken of more frequently than division.

I feel though an increasing need to implore those advocating for Palestinian self-determination and political agency - causes to which I subscribe - to understand the weight, origin and implication of their rhetoric.

A Jewish friend who sings in our church choir lost a nephew in the 7 Oct attack, and I live two miles from the Heaton Park synagogue. In one way I just want my thoughts to be about them, those who are grieving today, who are fearful of attacks. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I always hope this other Cody - who is quite prolific - receives emails like "Did you write 'Our Bounty - Harvest Sermon 2026'?"
Email from Academia asking "Cody,  is this your paper?" With a paper that is clearly not mine.

They phoned me to see if my Unitarian Chapel wanted to attend. I politely pointed out that, according to the website, their beliefs are antithetical to our values.

There's always a story, and this year Mrs UniMuse (who directs and organises it) has chosen Tom Percival's "The Invisible." I can get emotional during stories, and having read it, know I will have to practice A LOT 😭😅

Lol someone snuck a Chick Tract into my chapel 🤣 Yeah thanks, cause I wasn't sure whether you thought we were all hell-bound queer Unitarians
A pamphlet asking "Are you a good person?" Such tracts are used to convince people they are going to hell unless they accept a particularly conservative form of Christianity

I've been in three shops this morning, each with only one person working (at least front of house), running around trying to do jobs clearly meant for two or more. I feel sad for those under this pressure, presumably because the companies think they can save a few quid.
