Take note.

Selling Gaza to Kushner to develop into Dubai on the Med for billionaires to enjoy is absolute evil. It is Palestinian land.

Trump has no idea of international law, does he? It’s like we’re living in the era of empires! Nations stealing land from the poor, the other. No way.

Sums it up nicely. #startrek

Special guest in the garden this morning.

Just an amazing front page!

Wow, DeepSeek will give us unreliable and biased answers even faster and with less energy consumption!

Grocery prices will rise due to Republican policies. “75% of immigrant farm workers didn’t show up yesterday in Bakersfield because of fears of ICE raids under the new presidency.”

There is still humor in this world yet.

And finally DeepSeek doesn’t know that the Nov US Election has happened yet!!!

Deep seek promises it’s not spyware…almost…but note it works in China under the same rules as ByteDance. Therefore it prob is a form of spyware. Follow its guidance and don’t give it your data.

DeepSeek is rather good. It can stimulate its reasoning. It knows that it doesn’t understand its own answers. I still fear it sends data to the Chinese government.

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

Holocaust Day Memorial

Early morning Radio interview on Premier Christian Radio exploring the shift to community notes from fact checking. Focused on love and care for those without voices. Our voices moderated by fruit of the Spirit not belligerence.

The Sun and NGN have now admitted to doing abhorrent and illegal action. They were out of control and ruined lives. This is not acceptable...how can these people be allowed to get away with it? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Worth revisiting: Bishop Budde on Trump‘s misuse of religion, 2020 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/04/opinion/trump-st-johns-church-protests.html

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde Hero.

Amazing sermon from the Bishop of Washington - but rather unhinged response from Trump’s supporters. She followed Jesus’ call for compassion and care for all people. In what way is that not God’s word?

I guess the French call the English Channel “La Manche” so different countries can call the Northern Caribbean what their country wants to call it.

How can he change the name of the Gulf?

Hey everyone say hello to @thehannahfh.bsky.social - she’s amazing. Great digital practitioner and theologian.

hi!! 👋 I'm here. Hesitated signing up to a new platform & getting stressed about not doing it well but oh well, going to be here & be Hannah & enjoy it.

This is what I used to remove generative AI trash from my Google searches and it has been a gamechanger. There's also some plugins you can use that are kinda complicated, but this is the simplest and easiest method I've found. www.tomsguide.com/ai/how-to-bl...

If American religion were represented by 100 people. 40 Protestants 24 Catholics 1 Mormon 1 Orthodox 3 Jews 2 Muslims 1 Buddhist 1 Hindu 4 Atheists 5 Agnostics 18 Nothing in particular

Last nights venue for a get together over a lovely meal!

We’ve just moved to Bluesky from Threads because of Zuckerberg’s Trump-like announcement about Meta no longer fact-checking.

Chat GPT is still Garbage at getting accurate information. Luckily it's great at pretending like it's accurate.

Greenland, Panama, Canada!!! What is all this covetousness?

Academic editor asked me if I wanted to contribute to a volume on Digital Theology. Emailed arrived day before Christmas break. Today get email saying they’ve gone with someone else!!! Term only started yesterday! What did they expect??? I was going to say yes!!!

More snow and bleeding coldness…in arctic Berks!

In other news, Nigel Farage didn't bother to turn up to the debate on grooming gangs in the House of Commons just now

It’s very Monday indeed.

Brilliant service this morning. A few people didn’t make it but still 7 confirmands, 18 new members and a busy church with lots staying back for lunch. So delighted with the sense of rich worship and community. And the amazing presence of a God engaged in all our lives. Awesome.

Snow in Berks!!!

Welcoming new members tomorrow - it’s a bit chaotic - potential increase of membership of around 25% and it’s already the biggest church in circuit after last years 10% increase! Whoop!!!

Meanwhile over on X it’s all Elon Musks posts saying that Keir Starmer and Jess Phillips are rape genocide apologists and calling for the King to dissolve parliament. Dear Lord!!!

OK, my left-of-centre friends, let us see if we can swing the vote in favour of Sadiq Khan; and really upset the Daily Express xd.wayin.com/display/cont...

Elon Musk’s Karenesque attacks on Britain re Robinson are quintessential X - that’s all it is now. People thinking their wealth makes the superior to everyone else - morally, politically, religiously. Of course, it’s the very opposite of Jesus’ mode of engagement with the world.

Jesus is the light of the world

Treyarnon by night - almost artistic photo. An impression of sea at night?

Enjoyed the walk up near Piran’s place today. But I did think this hot tub was a bit Spartan for North Cornwall.

The "Strange Architect" series I'm working on = composed of four short novels: How To Be Free; Nice Is Just Another World for Terrible; Subject 682; and North Star. The basic premise is below and describes mostly How To Be Free, altho major characters show up as minor, vice versa, in the others.

I knew Rudyard Kipling wrote the Jungle Book a long time before C S Lewis dreamt of Aslan. In fact Babe and Hedwig closer to Aslan than Shere Khan. #TheWheel

Well, family (two of the kids, their partners and three grandchildren moved onto the other grandparentals today and so we tidied and are now having a break. Missing the grandkids grandness already. They are delightful!
