It was probably inevitable that people who think the Westminster Confession was dictated at the Sermon on the Mount would accuse the Church of Scotland of apostasy. If anything, our new Book of Confessions affirms our Reformed Catholicity. Liam, here, helped create the book

Musk talking about fighting falsehoods on his platform. One hour before he'd amplified a falsehood to millions of people. Nobody died in that incident, caused by a drunk driver. No community note, no correction.

"The West as it used to be no longer exists."
The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this:
The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

The United States is now not only pro-Russia, it is also taking a stand against Europe, and has a clear objective to meddle in European affairs. The U.S. will support European patriotic parties (pro-Russia fascists). The U.S. with its current regime is an enemy of a free Europe.

I assumed the NSS would just ignore/deprioritize Europe (It did that on defense/NATO).
But the actual message was: Europe matters to us, we must save it from itself, the EU and its wokeness. Thus, the USG is going all in on foreign interference to help the far-right win a civilizational war.

Exactly. The new U.S. National Security Strategy is much worse for Europe than most people had imagined. Europe is described as a bigger threat than both China and Russia, and they outline the need for regime change in Western European countries as part of a civilizational struggle.

I gotta say, I assumed a religion angle in this story would show up eventually, but I can't say this is the kind I expected.

The council, an organisation specifically set up to provide public services using tax income, is "corporate". And building a more accessible shelter as a cost-free public good is also "capitalist". It's like she's never heard these words before.
