Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

On the question of whether churches should be allowed to become mosques, let's remember that the Parthenon was originally a "pagan" temple, then was converted into a Christian church, then became a mosque. This kind of conversion is not historically unusual.

Happy birthday to the great Tom Waits, 76: "I spent all my money in a Mexican whorehouse baby cross the street from a Catholic church and I wiped off my revolver and I buttoned up my burgundy shirt I shot the morning in the back with my red wings on told the sun he better go back down and if I can find a book of matches I'm goin to burn this hotel down you got to tell me brave captain why are the wicked so strong how do the angels get to sleep when the devil leaves his porch light on..."

@ULTGames How come Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 on PS5 says it has the new DLC but the links are dead in the store? Will the extra DLC eventually appear?

@SteadmanArt G. I'm sure it's G. Dr Gonzo?

@AnitaGonzo I've quit this place but glad I peeked in. That's the only time I've seen him write his name like that. Been searching for another like that for years.

🧊🌨️🥰

Just popping back to say currently over on the other place Martin Rowson has his challenges going again. This is my entry for #DrawGreggWallace contest for December.

@markcousinsfilm If you get these requests then God help the rest of us. That said, it's hard to be a creative in this climate. Because I'm a carer, I get taxed at 55% of my earnings for freelance work, which pretty much means that there's hardly much point asking for money whenever I get work.

3 times today I've been asked to do something unpaid, "for the experience/contacts." Often these requests come from salaried people. I do lots of unpaid work, especially on theme of social class, but please think before you ask.

@ikillick7 Damn. Was going to get up early tomorrow and go and see it. A lie in suddenly sounds like a better option.

I've written about Greed. Somehow seemed appropriate to put this here given its subject. I'm now on Bluesky. davidwaywell.bsky.social. It's fun, friendly, ad free. Nearly everybody I knew on here is now over there. Hope the rest of you decide to join us. tinyurl.com/m96zupea

Twexodus is happening - don't get left behind - sign up to Bluesky today and join the happier place #Twexodus

@ClareDreamer Ah, thank you! I'm mostly at Bluesky now but I still appreciate this. You should try it. Did you know that Joseph Millson has also moved over? 😁

#ff @nancylasker @DavidWaywell @newotakuman5000 @HCavillsgirl83 @brianma68 @laingburgess 🙂.

Astonishing how many people are slagging me off for being critical of X and Musk. We live in an age of pitiful clothcap-doffing unctuousness.

@SteadmanArt Yes. Much better over there and it means you're not working for Musk.

Is it worth venturing over to The Other Place? Twitter is a bin fire right now. Thoughts? Ride it out or abandon ship?
