You've just died.
6th picture in your gallery is what killed you.

Dang, I *knew* those immutable entities would get me in the end

I can’t make it, sadly – I’m hoping it’ll turn up on YouTube later – but if you’re in Mayfair this evening, looks like Dr Williams is set to deliver another banger: www.grosvenorchapel.org.uk/the-liddon-h...

Reading about the early Quaker, Humphrey Smith, who died in 1663 while imprisoned for his beliefs, and getting very neurodivergent vibes from this description of his childhood: studious, thoughtful, a loner, emotionally sensitive, bewildering his parents. From Zealous by Erica Canela, p.125

I strongly suspect I'm pissing in the wind, but here's my complaint to BBC News about their use of this language to describe a *teenage victim of crime*. I even said I want a response, like someone who is *determined* to suffer.

Truly grotesque that the BBC chose to describe the *victim* of Graham Linehan's *crime* for which he was *convicted* in these terms. I can only conclude that this is now standard BBC editorial practice for referring to trans people, regardless of context. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Found myself reading, yet again, this incredible passage from towards the end of Omar El Akkad's "One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This" – a book every bit as good as its title – and realising what it reminds me of: Ecclesiastes 12. www.biblegateway.com/passage/?sea...

Honestly this goes so much harder than “Religious Society of Friends”, why did the Quakers ever stop calling themselves this /jk

I love this, from a 1992 article by Bruce E. Fleming on “What Makes a Bad Book Bad?” – that a bad book makes us feel “betrayed”, because “in order for a work of art to give itself to us, we must give ourselves to it.” jstor.org/stable/43470336

Which indistinguishable porridge (or porage) brand do YOU favour for breakfast? Me, I’m #TeamScotts, because it doesn’t infringe the Religious Society of Friends’ IP and the guy on the box is considerably more ripped

Reminds me of when Boris Johnson "revealed" that his hobby was making models of London buses out of wine boxes – which, would you know, was then what came up if you searched for "Boris Johnson bus". Rather than this:

The song I was referencing is one of my favs from the album so far, which is saying something. Written by Florence after she nearly died from an ectopic pregnancy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fw8...

Paying tribute to Florence + The Machine’s new album by literally “downloading Revelations of Divine Love on my phone”

There are times I’m ashamed to be a lawyer. This was in a daily email of updates from law firms. One trillion barrels of oil is almost as much as we’ve extracted and set on fire in the whole industrial era to date (1.4 trillion barrels). We are so cooked as a species.

Another madcap bid for popularity from the Telegraph: taking aim at International Treasure, David Attenborough, on behalf of Britain’s hard-pressed <checks notes> grouse shooters

Ye gods. “That’s a private matter between me and my wife” is the answer you were looking for, JD.

Kandinsky’s art does something profound to my brain. Always has. This one (Red Yellow Blue, 1925) is reproduced in today’s FT Weekend, and I’ve just spent several minutes staring at it

And I’m a sucker for chapter titles like *this*
October 22, 2025 at 5:13 PM
Picked up this today from The Common Press bookshop. The author is a “transfeminist and evangelical Christian”, and what interested me was that it’s looking at the evangelical Christian / “gender critical” alliance *in the UK* – rather than the more usual US focus

“TG Jones” (aka the former WHSmith high street branches) has the lowest-effort branding and signage I’ve seen in a long time. I’d give them 18 months, tops

I did not agree to pay for an authoritarian government with my federal taxes. I agreed to pay for *opens history book*

uh oh
