Is Donald #Trump ok?? Iโ€™m genuinely asking, because he seems to think that 1) Hannibal Lecter is real and 2) Heโ€™s a great guy.

Instead of Silence of the Lambs, Iโ€™d rather watch Silence of the Convicted Felon.

Trump: They go crazy when I say, "the late great Hannibal Lecter." They say 'Why would he mention Hannibal Lecter, he must be cognitively in trouble!' No. These are real stories. Hannibal Lecter from Silence of the lamb, a lovely man.."

That statement was most unwise.

It's an act of denial running adjacent to the narrative that refuses to acknowledge Israel is a genocidal occupying power for over 80 years, the suggestion that anti-genocide protestors are antisemitic hamas supporters is a horrendous gaslight, an assault on freedom of speech, an insult to the moral integrity of the American people, and a complete failure to represent either the people, or the truth. Today, she looks like a lackey.

Bitch, do not do that again.

Something good to ask yourself and your fellow church congregants during this political season: "Do we want a church where people from different political viewpoints will feel comfortable belonging to?" Or, at least, where they feel the church is not partisan.

In other words, am I willing to segregate Sunday morning along political lines because of my political beliefs?

Definitely, there are going to be times when the church needs to take a stand on political issues. For example, Charles Finney upset a lot of people by preaching forcefully on the topic of slavery. But we should aim to be equal opportunity offenders. I'd like to think that staunch blue and red voters would at one point or another be made uncomfortable by what we say from the pulpit. If you are a "prophetic voice" but only repeat one side's partisan talking points, is it really prophetic?

indeed!

I feel so very privileged: living in south east London I worship in a hugely diverse church. There are members from probably 50+ different nationalities from literally every continent (apart from Antarctica), all races, political persuasions, and socio economic backgrounds, some who grew up in Christian homes, others who only came to Christ weeks ago. All worshipping together, united in Christ.

A little foretaste of heaven!

Bring back the poetry Olympics!


Some 200 years before the modern revival of the Olympics as we now know it, a group of poets met in a garden in Rome to revive the ancient games in their own way. Their Giuochi Olimpici (โ€œOlympic gamesโ€ in Italian) was based not on speed or strength, but on oneโ€™s ability to string together a poem or win a debate.

The Poetry Olympics took the ancient pentathlon, but replaced the five sporting competitions with five new games based on poetic composition and intellectual debate. A description from 1701 lists these as โ€œthe foot race, the javelin, the discus, the wrestling and the long jumpโ€. Each was intended to showcase skill in poetry, wit or song.

https://theconversation.com/before-there-was-diving-and-relays-there-was-the-poetry-olympics-235310


Before there was diving and relays, there was the Poetry Olympics

This particular revival of the games โ€“ which started about 300 years ago โ€“ was all about wordplay and battles of wit.

When I was a child I didnโ€™t know who I was. I knew who everyone told me to be, a good little Jewish boy who would grow up to be a good Jewish man. I built that boy out of mud with my hands and shaped him into the form others expected. On his forehead I wrote ืืžืช, truth, hoping it would live a truth I didnโ€™t understand.

I wrote a name of God on a piece of paper and placed it into his mouth and he lived. For 35 years he walked in my place, living a false life with my breath.

One day I could suffocate no longer and needed to die or take my breath back. In a moment of strength I removed the aleph from his head and he fell apart. He did not die as his forehead now read, for he was never alive.

I didnโ€™t realize how much mud had accumulated over the years. How deep the shame was, how heavy the long dried pieces of dirt were. My hands, now torn and bleeding from breaking my golem apart, finally found the long forgotten paper.

I see the name I wrote was my own.

For fans of @acarsdrama - some stats:

The rig receives around 1,500 messages an hour during daytime hours. The split is around 1,000 ACARS to 500 VDLM2.

Of those 1,500, it averages 2 or 3 that contain the 'free text', human typed messages that constitute the drama per hour. The rest is automated position reports, status messages, data exchanges about weather etc.

In summary, there is a lot of data coming off of planes at all times.
