25 years ago a few of my friends and I went to London to see a band we loved called @Coldplay at their first “major” London gig. It only took them 25 years to hit the big time and come and play in my home city of Hull. What a night! #ColdplayHull

"I stand here also as a black man... whose ancestors rose up and fought in a great rebellion of the enslaved. Imperialism. I know it when I see it." @DavidLammy accuses Russia of being a mafia state in unbelievable speech at the UN.

The theology of the cross produces the sort of eschatology that advocates planting a tree (Luther)—neither escaping nature nor conquering nature, but leading the chorus of nature in groaning for the consummation. The Christian hope is therefore neither resignation to “the way things are,” since God is always on the move, nor mastery, since neither nature nor history is ours to control. The definitive power for the Christian community is neither Apollo (resignation to defeat) nor Dionysus ("the will to power") but the Lamb who was slain for others but now is alive for others.

A defiant craftsman composed in the face of evil. The quiet love of a brave captain. “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” season 2 reminds us that “presence is all we really ever have.” christianitytoday.com/2024/08/rings-…

Haidt is right! Churches make this same mistake as well. They focus on smart phone social media content & not the medium itself; and all of the parents who think that if the content is good, it doesn’t matter. It does! “The medium is the message.” The medium itself is harmful!

Now THAT, is MAGIC 🪄 #UpTheRobins🔴⚪️

Here is the montage BBC Sport aired at the end of their Olympics coverage.

There's never a bad time to share a video of that time Akala humiliated Yaxley-Lennon on TV, but now seems as good a time as any.

Excellent explainer for those looking on in bewilderment at the actions of a former President. His actions are not as far removed from our own attitudes as we might wish. So helpful to be reminded of my privilege & the need to work hard to continue righting the wrongs of the past

UP. THE. ROBINS.
