I think I'd cycle 80 miles in a headwind to see Ely Cathedral. No other cathedral feels so organically grown from the earth itself - it's lantern tower is one of the most verdant wonders of the medieval world. #thread
Ely Cathedral’s octagon and spires rise above the town’s tiled rooftops, their weathered stone and intricate pinnacles catching morning light beneath a pale blue Fenland sky.

I strongly object to the comparison many are making these days between Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels.

I think it's deeply misguided, and unfair, to compare them.

Goebbels was a far better propagandist, and didn't execute much policy.

Miller far more closely resembles Heinrich Himmler.

Victim of Vesuvius at Pompei reminds one of 🇺🇸America under Dictator Trump.

At Pompei, Vesuvius is always brooding in the backyard.

Oh do go on with MA economics piffleswipe: crypto-economics for pensions and Jordan Peterson for political philosophy.

Even @theglobeandmail.com’s regular Conservative spokesman Mr. Clark recognizes that petulant piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre has lost all credibility on inflation and economics generally.
Rage-farming doesn’t promote practical policy.

Don’t blame MAID laws
for that - blame provinces for not making that treatment available.

No, but saw and photographed.

One has no issue with improving safeguards if needed. One objects vociferously to zealots who cast MAID providers as eugenicists, MAID as cost saving, blah blah blah.
