If you’re into Shakespeare don’t miss the chance to see David Tennant and Cush Jumbo in the film of the live play, Macbeth. It’s fabulous. #macbeth #davidtennant #thescottishplay #shakespeare

I saw Wicked today. Perhaps the biggest miracle was I sat through the whole 2:40 without having to pee! The movie is perfect, but I didn’t get swept up in it emotionally as I expected. Perhaps it’s me. It makes great social & political points, but I wonder if right-wing viewers will notice.

I am watching with grave concern over the actions of the South Korean president to declare martial law, all because the opposition has blocked his agenda and impeached his cabinet. Democracy is under assault across much of the world. We must be on highest guard here as well as Trump takes office.

I accidentally got a dadvent calendar instead of an advent calendar. A little older man comes out every time you open a door and shouts at you for letting all the heat out.

“We must take ownership of the elements in our culture that allowed men like Trump to fester and metastasize for decades in modern American life.Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos have more wealth and power than most nations and none of them would place democracy above their own profit.”

Ha ha. Cool word of the year, Macquarie Dictionary. With, let’s face it, such a rich vein of application. I mean, pretty much the entire reason this here platform exists. Let’s hope, touch Laminex, it doesn’t fall prey. With thanks to @womensagenda.bsky.social.

You might think you're heroic for quitting Twitter, but this is next level. To be elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) is one of the highest honors in science. @deevybee.bsky.social gave up her FRS because she didn't want to be associated with Elon Musk, who was elected FRS for space stuff. 👏

This is the transcript of a speech I delivered last year on Christian dominionism in the USA and Australia. It’s 12 months old now, but even more relevant, I think. chrysstevenson.com/2023/12/05/c...
