It's still driving me round the bend that I have to scroll down to find my place every time I load my posts on here. Surely it doesn't have to be this way!? #BlueskyHelp

In order to not add something actually "unchristian" here, I'm going to restrict my response to this to: "I disagree. Strongly."

“If you go back a million minutes, you reach 2023. Go back a billion minutes, you reach the Roman Empire — that’s the scale of inequality we’re living with.”

Looks like we've lost the battle for rigour in RE. Sigh.
The average member of the public has a pretty ropey understanding of Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Judaism at best. That's both intrinsically and societally bad.
But no, let's make it trendy.

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

There is a direct line between Donald Trump trying to destroy the BBC and him excusing the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Trump hates the independent free press – whether in the US, Saudi Arabia or the UK. We will always defend it.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

I didn't really get all the hate for the current government, thought their slow responses to things haven't been great but felt that was minor. This new refugee thing is horrendous though. Like, what the hell!?

Great. Woke up to a payment to the London borough of Ilford for £55.10 at 03:32. Ilford isn't even a borough!? Obviously card now frozen and transaction reported. Harrumph.

I could cut down my marking time if I stopped throwing a wobbler throughout. They’re assessments and I’m reacting to each question like they’re cup final penalties.
