Maybe the police should try investigating actual crimes rather than harassing women for eating breadsticks and hummus.

@DeLonghiUK I have a Delonghi KG40 grinder in which the blades have gone blunt. Am I able to buy a new set, please?

Office debate. Should we refer to teams in the singular or the plural?
For example:
Lidl-Trek are sponsored by a supermarket and have some canny riders
or
Lidl-Trek is sponsored by a supermarket and has some canny riders

One of many gifts from Michael Longley. One I treasure all the more, now that he has left us. His death is a great loss for poetry, for Belfast, and for literature on these islands and well beyond. He will be greatly missed. (I write at more length on Insta)

Maybe it’d be a relief to everyone if we stopped pretending it’s still “Christian” in cases where it’s been utterly co-opted by nationalism, and worse.
Christianity is an attempt to be Christlike. It’s a poem, a largeness of thought; a love of existence, not limited to your own.
Rev. Benjamin Cremer@Brcremer
If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have deeply, deeply misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Stunning, literally. This is what it looks like to take a stand for biblical values.
Thank you, Mariann Edgar Budde. Wow. 🙏🏻

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

John Donne:
“If I should aske the Basilisk, how camest thou by those killing eyes, he would tell me, Thy God made me so.
…all things that are, are equally removed from being nothing; and whatsoever hath any beeing, is by that very beeing, a glasse in which we see God…”

@ae_stallings Likewise, I read a few pages - wanting to like it - but found myself scratching around for the will to continue, wondering if the problem lay with me

I dunno. I'm trying to read this Sally Rooney Intermezzo book, which seems to be mostly sentence fragments describing every time someone handles their phone, and I kind of just want to bail and get back to Henry James. Should I persist? (Am not very far in, to be fair!)

My top four books read in 2024: a walk around the UK in 1982; late C19th Belgian Congo horrors; wild Edwardian aristos; & what becomes of the ageing homosexual ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

@eddieizzard @bexhillmuseum @YouTube Thanks so much for supporting the museum, which we're blessed to have – I've only just realised they have masses of information on my Bexhill great-grandfather whom I knew almost nothing about!

I wonder if @simonmontefiore would mind clarifying whether he considers Ireland's opposition to ongoing Israeli war crimes to be part of what he regards as its being "weirdly, unreasonably anti-Israel". Can't imagine he'd want to be ambiguous on this matter

“….What have I to leave you but the ruins of old courage, and the lore of old gallantry and hope?”
Happy 81st birthday, Marilynne Robinson. Every solstice, I return to a 6 min clip of her reading from the end of ‘Gilead’ and I swear I can feel the world turning.

MSF is outraged after an Israeli drone strike almost hit five of our Palestinian and international staff on their way home from Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.
As always, the Israeli authorities were notified about our movements and the vehicle was identifiable with an MSF logo.
