I reckon it's fair that I'm not entirely sure how to pronounce the name of the ancient Greek actor Hegelochus, a man famous for a career-destroying bit of mispronunciation.

This is fascinating on the importance of lawyers being able to conscientiously object to taking work for clients that might be facilitating climate catastrophe.

I genuinely do not understand this ruling.

We don't have blasphemy laws anymore. Why is an advert being banned over the possibility that it could cause "serious offence" to (some) Christians?

I support the #AssistedDyingBill.

Living with dignity means being able to die with dignity too.

While I'd like to cling onto life for as long as possible, I'd also like the right, when the time comes, to be able to end things on my own terms. A right I hope never to exercise!

As I get a bit more involved on this site, while reflecting on the owner of the other place, I have one word in mind:

Kakistocracy - government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.

I've seen this article shared a lot over the last 24 hours. Obviously it should be great that so many people appear to be interested in the pre 1066 period of history on these islands (a period I've loved for years), but sadly the Tweets (sorry) suggest otherwise. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08...

This is a fascinating read.

I wonder if there's a risk for Xtians wrapped up in cultural Christianity. It seems to be a means for cultural conservatives to use Xtianity as a vehicle to push their agenda, and this might narrow the base to which Xtians can appeal.

Is there an app that makes it easy to cross post the same things across different networks?

If I've, say, Tweeted elsewhere but wanted to see if the discussion was different here, is there an easy way to do it, or would I have to copy & paste it all manually?
