Mark Carney, "Those whose politics is to destroy, to demolish, dismantle, they're not going to change their instincts" "This is, in many respects, this is their moment" "We can't answer them by pining for an old order that's not going to return "

If you maintain open source projects, these two tools have been game-changers for me recently: - EasyBuild.ShipIt by @mangelmaxime.bsky.social - Repo Assist by @dsyme.bsky.social - github.com/easybuild-or... - github.com/githubnext/a... #fsharp #csharp #dotnet

I'm enjoying reading the book "Protestants" by Alec Ryrie, an historical look at Protestants from Reformation to today. It's strong on recurring historical patterns of religious/political thought, and wil be useful for those wanting to get inside the shape shifting nature of Protestantism.

I don't get why Christians are so keen on oil & gas. It seems like solar and wind are the most beautifully Christian-aligned forms of energy production possible - abundant, God-given and aligned with Christian imagery of light and air. Oil & gas are hellish in comparison. What am I missing?

I spent some time looking at "Truth" Social today. Mainly out of curiosity. Every single post is propaganda, a lie. All posts are AI generated imagery. Not a single authentic interaction or discussion, besides the vast accounts all new accounts are auto-subscribed to.
