Doctor Who at the cinema. WOW! Some amazing twists & turns. Loved the kindness of Ruby. Rose’s appearance greeted with cheers. And an amazing surprise to end with. Can we have a Christmas special please!

#RIP Alasdair MacIntyre … that rare thing: a genuinely insightful thinker and philosopher. In my philosopher days, he helped me dare to see the linkages between ethics, theology, and literature and opened up a path which remains influencial. #philosophy #ethics #literature #theology

Back at St Melitus college for the second day of the Credal Spirit conference. Last night we had a wonderful address from @rowaninfo.bsky.social

Enjoying the Credal Spirit conference at St Melitus. First paper on Romans & Nicaea and the need to hold together witness, resistance, & worship was really inspiring

So sad to hear this news. The Alarm have long been part of my soundtrack. Seen them live many times “And the tougher it gets And the more that I sweat And the harder it fights And the deeper it bites I'm one step closer to home” Rest in peace, Mike. You are home www.theguardian.com/music/2025/a...

This "debate" about who should use what toilet doesn’t benefit anyone. It doesn’t fix the underfunding of women's refuges, NHS waiting lists leaving women in terrible pain, mums skipping meals to feed their kids. How about we get on with tackling the real issues affecting women?

Stray thought: When my kid was very young, I often had no choice but to go into the ladies in pubs and other public places because that was where they'd put the baby changing facilities. Occasionally women were surprised to see me, but I don't recall anyone registering the slightest disapproval.

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.
