incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Geez, I had such a hope Nick would figure it out at the last minute.

Bloody hell, what a finale

Nooooooooooooo! #traitors

This cartoon made me cry: Ella Baron on Zohran Mamdani’s New York City mayoral victory – cartoon www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The part of Mamdani's speech that I found most exciting was "you dismantle the conditions that allowed him to gain power. That's how we stop Trump — and the next one." We need popular political figures to point out that Trump is not an anomaly and there are plenty more to take his place.

A total and utter hero

Ironically, Sundays are much restful without church. 🤔

Excellent guide to the soft opt-in change coming soon for UK charities. Nice work @willcardy.bsky.social of Platypus Digital www.platypusdigital.com/the-soft-opt...

As I unpack my evangelical baggage, a new discovery: the idea of the Bible as inerrant is much less credible than I thought. (1/x)

One slightly depressing truth we keep encountering on Origin Story is that almost every political term you can think of (socialism, populism, fascism, liberalism, democracy) has multiple definitions, shifting over time, so there is no solid, eternal meaning to hang on to. It's always an argument

World Vision UK have been in the news for the wrong reasons. I made an interesting discovery: they're members of the Evangelical Alliance, but they choose to hide it. There's no mention on their website or their annual reports. Seems strange. I wonder if staff are aware?

My goodness, The News Agents is unmissable this week.

I like how Mac Jones goes right back to players who mess up. And wins chunk plays in the process. #49ers

Great news to have a female AOC at last.

I was today years old when I learned that you press and hold the send arrow on Teams mobile to schedule a response 👀

The next time Jimmy Carr harps on about free speech he should never be allowed to forget that, in order to co-headline (?) with Louis CK in the big comedy wash, he had to sign a contract promising to be mega-woke for Saudi Arabia. deadline.com/2025/09/atsu...

A strange contrast: Growing up evangelical made me more homophobic. Growing up evangelical made me less racist.

So far there have been zero trans women reported as having visited epsteins pedo island. But lots of people who want you to think trans women are threats to children seemed to have gone there at some point. Curious...

Even in my most take-the-bible-literally days I viewed the idea of the Rapture as pretty tenuous.

Today, I shall attempt paddleboarding. Yes, I know it's autumn. What could go wrong?

Trump Spends Entire U.K. Trip Trying To Figure Out Where He Knows Prince Andrew From

Written by a doctor at St Thomas' Hospital, London after the Tommy Robinson march on 13/9.

It should be simple: people who cheer on violence in the UK can't enrich themselves with British taxpayers’ money. That means Elon Musk – no government contracts for you, no energy supply license for you.

Naively, student-James never considered that a 'Christian' publisher would let false info get printed. Or that chain of 'Christian' bookshops would happily stock such a book.

Rethinking the Bible #1 Who wrote Exodus? Well it seems that no one knows. That bothers me, because the Bible I bought as a student in the late 90s told me the author was Moses. (1/x)

Yes, Peter Mandelson did write in the Epstein book, a multi-page letter with photos. Screenshots in thread. page 1

Great comment from Damon Bruce on the 49ers game last night "it was a heart attack on a stick"

You better believe that won't be the last time Purdy looks to Tonges to make a play.

Britain is Broken. Let's go Remote.

I see the vision: a party composed of MPs who studiously avoid their constituencies. Look for the imminent rebrand to 'Remote'.

there’s a tweet for every occasion

The #49ers appear to be descending. The question before an intrigue-filled season: How far might they fall? www.sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers...

Graham Linehan once took issue with a sketch I did and tweeted about me referring to me not by name but only as to who my boyfriend was and called me an NPC ( non player character.) It was misogynistic and his “standing up for women” schtick is baloney.

When I was announced as the lead in a Doctor Who spinoff in 2023 Graham Linehan tweeted about me for TWO DAYS, tagging the BBC and others to say that I am pro-child abuse and they shouldn't work with me.

If you don't know, this was the tweet: " “If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.” This is not only hate speech, it is also the definition of incitement to violence.

You know what, fair play to Scooby Doo villains. They walk into a room dressed as a ghost, see a talking dog on its hind legs making the world’s biggest sandwich and somehow manage to stay in character.

Re-examining the Bible has been a wild ride. When you grow up in church you get taught stuff before you develop critical-thinking skills. Yesterday's discovery: academics don't know who wrote Genesis and Exodus. It seems my Life Application Bible was playing fast and lose on that front.

Working on my NFL Fantasy Draft strategy. I'm thinking I gotta pick QB first - in my league they earn twice the points of the other positions.

If Bluesky isn’t structurally, mechanically, far superior to every other social media site how do you explain that Ricky Gervais is here but I don’t see his posts unless I intentionally seek them out

Went to Greenbelt Festival. Was hard not to compare with the Christian festivals of my 20s. (1/x)

Greenbelt beckons.

This is a wild concept: " the latest threat comes from fibre optic drones. A spool of tens of kilometres of cable is fitted to the bottom of a drone and the physical fibre optic cord is attached to the controller held by the pilot." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Slightly diminish a band: Familiar Kids On The Block

I'm avidly following reports from 49ers training camp. Need to check myself and remember the Brian Hoyer experience of 2017.

Tangent: is there a correlation between success and having an alliterative name? It sounds silly, I know, but look at those studies of height and CEOs.
