An acquired taste. NO DMs. History, books, football, food, film noir and reckless commas. Anti-Marxism.

I never understood this. She is seeking the Lord and y'all are worried about what she's wearing? Can we not just be happy that they are there and showed up? God doesn't judge you because you're in pajamas. God cares you showed up. Maybe she's going through something and all she could muster were pj's. Let people worship their own way. 😤
Woman at church yesterday showed up in a sweatshirt and literal pajama pants. Wore her hood the entire service. I was absolutely appalled. I hate this whole, “came as you are” narrative the Protestant church preaches. Other religions wouldn’t let you in if you dressed so disrespectfully. Why is it only Christian’s that are held to this standard? That we must just accept everything?

“Last night a woman came to the service with a child. She was wearing trousers and no headscarf. One of you reprimanded her. She left. I don’t know who reprimanded her, but I order this person to pray for her and for this child until the end of their days, that the Lord save them. Because of you, she may never come to church again!” - Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh

'So, Chancellor. Are you going to cut taxes, reduce red tape, shrink the bloated public sector and get the economy moving again?' Even better than that, dear...GHERKINS!

Harry Kane a rencontré sa femme à l'école maternelle, quand ils avaient 4 ans. Ils se sont mis en couple vers 18 ans, se sont mariés et ont eu quatre enfants. Évidemment, il aurait pu choisir une autre voie : claquer son blé en escorts et se mettre en couple avec une influenceuse de télé-réalité qui pense que la malléole est une nouvelle planète du système solaire. Mais c'est peut-être juste un mec bien, même s'il est anglais.
Il pourrait sincèrement avoir mieux

I do ponder what my former colleagues at the moderate end of Green Party are now thinking. I know some were far more left-wing than me but saw the sense in being pragmatic so as not to scare the public, others keep their heads down doing local stuff but surely some think WTF??!!!

Historian @DrFrancisYoung highlights #Hull RC church St Charles Borromeo, just round the corner from us, so here's an early postcard view of its wedding-cake of an interior. @Hull_Museums @hull_libraries
One of my favourite RC churches in England - a genuine hidden gem, and honestly worth visiting Hull just to see it

There was an event so good we restarted time
I’ve asked this before but is there any historical event that is like the Opposite of 9/11. Like something so good that happened that it changed the world forever

Good evening Bilbao Spain 🇪🇸 Remember how in September of 2025 you physically harassed Israeli cyclists in the name of Free Palestine? Tonight the mob is back for more, this time you are on. Feeding the mob is never a good idea.

This year alone, more Christians have been killed by Muslims in Nigeria than Gazans in three years of war. Not a single Muslim or pro-Palestinian activist has protested like they do for Gaza. Weird.
