I am reminded today, as the Conclave begins, that Francesco entitled one of the chapters in his memoir: ‘Too Long Do I Live Among Those Who Hate Peace’ May the next Bishop of Rome be a bridge-builder towards peace in a world inexplicably ruled by people who are excited by slaughter

I am very grateful to the folk at America Magazine for slowly teaching me how to be a journalist. This is, in many ways, the hardest story I've tried to write: how Trump's tariffs tap into a long story about Christian craftsmanship www.americamagazine.org/politics-soc...

We love to see this. Fairplay to #StNicolas'Church in #Galway, promoting active travel amongst their visitors & congregation. Great to see @galwaycitycouncil.bsky.social supporting them.

Mildly haunted by the knowledge that birds sound different than they used to, as some species have adjusted the pitch & volume of their calls to essentially shout above human noise. And I wonder which species have developed a way to say, “I’m not mad—I just want to make sure you can hear me!”

Look, you really have to ask what the reaction would if any other country in the world attacked an aid ship from an EU country just outside its waters.

AGI is coming for all of us. It will write symphonies, direct movies, and author the best novels. The only thing it won’t be able to do is VC investing, which must be reserved as a task only for the most-special people

Blair talking about things that are "Doomed to fail" makes sense because practically every single thing he touched turned out, in the cold light of day, to be a catastrophically bad idea. Shilling doom for fossil capitalism is perfectly consistent. Ghoulish.

People who walk & bike to work are happier w/ their commute than those who drive Road rage is a symptom of how we built our cities. Build more homes close to jobs and better trails, sidewalks, & bike paths to get there, & we can help people be happier Great findings from the Commute Seattle team

“I’m an avid cyclist but...” Exactly the problem. We don’t need infrastructure just for avid cyclists, we need it for those new and/or apprehensive riders who are terrified of riding through their cities.

Informed opinion: I know what it means to be an introvert. If you are enraged at the idea that a stranger in public might exchange pleasantries with you - on a plane, or in a queue, or passing each other in a park - you have an issue that isn't described by introversion

Screengrab because this is not meant as a dunk - I appreciate the account. But isn't it funny that just as Francis moved the Catholic Church away from the default moral high ground hectoring tone they were associated with, actual real existing Catholics are now subjected to it so often?

As an evangelical Presbyterian, I unashamedly confess that Pope Francis changed my life. I suspect he would have been deeply amused by how that kind of historically remarkable sentence could come to be written. In this short piece, I try to summarise some of what he meant to me and my colleagues.
