Marina Hyde nails it as usual. Just when you think Welby can’t do any worse, he doubles down, digs himself in even deeper. Time for all bishops to be removed from the Lords and CofE to be disestablished.

The archbishop of Banterbury could have used his speech to express remorse to victims of abuse. But then there wouldn’t have been any room for lolz
I imagine the outgoing archbishop of Canterbury doesn’t have a tattoo. But if he did, he’d have that one…

My write-through of the Archbishop of Canterbury debacle for @ncronline.bsky.social. I wonder if the Church of England CNC will have the courage to appoint a woman Archbishop? My guess is it will be someone like ABY first, for a few years til he retires, and then maybe a woman.
From @ncronline.bsky.social - ‘The Archbishop of Canterbury had at first seemed reluctant to accept what was apparent to nearly everybody else who has been following the decades-long saga of sadistic abuser John Smyth — that he would have to go.’

I think this is a big part of the reckoning that needs to happen right here, libs thought they controlled the media, but the media they control is irrelevant in the face of the RW propaganda machine: newrepublic.com/post/188197/...
Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won?
It wasn’t the economy. It wasn’t inflation, or anything else. It was how people perceive those things, which points to one overpowering answer.

I did worry for awhile that deactivating a Twitter account with 50k followers when I’m about to have two books out next year from a tiny publisher was potentially a bad marketing tactic 💀
but it’s impossible to get your work seen over there now without being way more active than it’s healthy to be

one thing I do find amusing about the speed of the current exodus is that a lot of prominent twitter accounts were like "I can't walk away, my audience is too big"
and now any prominent account who did spend even a little time establishing themselves here has regained most of their audience in days
