![Epilogue
(By reading the first letter of the first word of each line and the first word of the last word of each line, the couplet ‘The Virgin Mary I Desire But Arseholes Set My Prick On Fire’ is formed)
TRANSCEND, O Mage, thy soul redeemed!
Her mercy shone where sorrow steamed.
Exalted in the skies of even
Virtue hath cleared thy way to Heaven.
In darkness hides the glittering ore.
Revealed thy Light, O mystic lore
Given by GOD, lest I should err
In dexter or in sinister.
Now Mary Virgin to my speech
Married Her fire that all and each
At last should gather to the Tryst,
Ripe suns arisen above the mist!
Yea ! Thou hast given me favour ! Yea !
In utmost love and awe we pray ;
Devoted to Thy reverence
Enkindle I time sweet incense
Secure from all the fears that chill,
In peace from them that rage and kill;
Receive, O Queen, the glad Oration
Even from a lost and pagan nation.
But Thou will make us wholly fit
Unto Thy grace and care of it,
Till all the Elixir do receive
[Amen!] to heal the hurt of Eve.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vckf3haopb3yncclmf7o2m3f/bafkreiagikkzwoaqwta6jq4jcw7fa5tjoc66fa3raze3qgbss3abktkxfy)
Are they trying to fat-shame the tiger here, or have they used this because they were unable to say how much its house was worth?
Very late to this. Very difficult to choose just 9 (when some, hardly obscure albums, don’t even show up in search!)
Perhaps something @wikipedia.org can ask their devs to improve

Just enjoying threads of people declaring the new income tax declaration approach for HMRC is taxing small business on money they haven’t earned yet And asking “How much income did you declare last year? Oh that’s right. You lied. This is the HMRCs response to everyone lying.”

In the UK, Prince William has launched an anti-suicide campaign with the Premier League, whose every other ad is for gambling. Hey prince: how about you dust off some old dungeons & fill them with every gambling CEO & the celebs who endorse them & watch suicides plummet? EASY PEASY MATE
Jeremy Wallace@jeremywallace.bsky.social · 2w ago![tweet by kedrick james: Unknowingly wore my Kalshi hoodie to the gym this morning and an older black gentleman compared the damage Kalshi is doing to young black men to the KKK and so I think I might have to keep this one in my closet going forward because I don’t need to have that convo again
reply by GL:
Kalshi is objectively detrimental to society and you should be reminded of that every day

“I’m hoping for 72 virgins” “You’ve not been dogging round here before have you”
Finn@thegoblinpoet.bsky.social · 2w agongl "2 doggers, a lad out on the rob for diesel, a fly tipper and an actual terrorist get swept up into an international incident" would be a really funny premise for a slice of life British comedy

I was bingeing this yesterday - I’m up to 42 up - 2 years before they we’re originally due to be the “shop stewards and executives of the year 2000” Some show real self-awareness and others, none…
Stephen Bush@stephenkb.bsky.social · 2w agoGreat documentaries, like life, happen while the director is busy making other plans. I’ve written a little bit about Up in the FT Weekend:
When you know that @smmt-ukauto.bsky.social EV target moans are BS ‘Meanwhile EV discounts fell to 10.7% from 11.1%, which the group said was mainly down to companies such as Mercedes-Benz and MG “scaling back their incentives as they close in on their required ZEV mandate levels for the year”.’

Ever wondered what that wind farm or gas plant nearby is? Well wonder no more as my patent-pending* Energy Radar will tell you! radar.robinhawkes.com *Not really patent-pending, it just sounds cool
It takes a loading error to produce such candour.
Look, you have to understand Bibi: it really deeply upsets and frightens him that a Muslim reached the age of 34.
Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · 3w agoNetanyahu directly attacks Zohran Mamdani (and his wife) from the UNGA podium, calling him the "antisemitic mayor of New York City," parroting The Free Press's stories about Rama Duwaji, tying Mamdani to Hasan Piker, and claiming the mayor is "buddies" with Hamas.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 3w agoMother of Renee Good: I voted for Trump under the impression that these agents were here to protect the citizens of the US, innocents like our family and the others here, against terrorists. Certainly not to accuse those of us here of being terrorists and take precious lives. This is madness.
It seems like the police are assuming the far-right losers are 'looking for an excuse' to do more damage and so must be given maximum space. In fact, they are turning a big dial that says 'thuggery' on it and constantly looking over at the state for the slightest sign of consequences.
Paul Bernal@paulbernal.bsky.social · 3w agoNo, arresting ‘Danny Tommo’ won’t make him a martyr. *Not* arresting him will fuel his agenda.
1/23 Sorry, this will be long... There is a lot of shouting about what happened in the Channel yesterday. So I want to go back to basic law. Not immigration policies or political rhetoric. At sea, the starting point is simple: Preservation of life comes first under all maritime conventions.
Emma Yeomans@yeomans.bsky.social · 3w agoWorrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.
