Discussion on Threads about why do so many video games have to involve killing and why can't we just enjoy our cosy games and... Nowt's stopping you playing Sims, Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, whatever. Just leave us murderous reprobates to our killing fields in peace, yes?
Advice to anyone who wants to be seen as a moral arbiter. If child abuse claims regarding an employee of yours are brought to you, ACT ON THEM. It's not exactly a great leap of moral thought to conclude that grown men trying to have sex with kids is bad, is it?

I work in a team of five. Boss is cool, worked with him for years. Colleague 2 is entertaining enough to be worth the hassle. 3 is a fellow NDer and great. And then there's Number Four. Oh my god, number four is irritating. I will celebrate the day he leaves this organisation, stg.
Do Quakers celebrate Christmas? It depends which Quaker you ask, of course, but here's a blog post I wrote about some reasons why, even though we traditionally don't keep the liturgical year, we might choose to. brigidfoxandbuddha.wordpress.com/2016/12/12/f...
Five Reasons Quakers Can Celebrate Christmas
In Quaker faith & practice, passage 27.42 says: A… testimony held by early Friends was that against the keeping of ‘times and seasons’. We might understand this as part of the conviction …

Oddly enough, “stop running down the public services in which they work and stop hateful misinformation campaigns against them just for doing their jobs” does not feature as a proposed solution.

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”
Anyone insisting we have to welcome conservative "thinkers" are the ones that either truly live in a bubble or are actually conservatives. I don't need to hear any new justifications they come up with to ruin everyone's lives with their nonsense. I've never gone a day without hearing it yet anyway.
Bill Stinkwater@klausbromi.bsky.social · 2y agoTrying to imagine a life where I haven't been blasted with conservative thoughts and ideas every day of my life. Wow, I don't have to hear about what minority they hate now? I don't have to hear about how some people have to die because of profit? Damn sounds like a relaxing paradise.

Good morning all! ☕️ This morning, I have a request. I’m excited about the pro-EU community rebuilding on Bluesky with so much energy happening here. It’s *perfect* for what we need to be doing in 2025. Therefore, could you please follow these local pro-EU groups …and yes, I will make a list.
Whamageddon. You spend 24 days depriving yourself of a decent Christmas song and for what? Likes? Paul McCartney's Xmas effort was right there if you wanted something actively unpleasant to avoid, but no, it had to be Wham. Anyway if you want to bite the bullet, here it is: youtu.be/E8gmARGvPlI?...

Farage here arguing for us to join the EU I see. You know, as he's clear that we're too weak to do things on our own now. But the USA is no good because Trump is open about putting America first. The EU puts the EU first. We can't join America, but we can join the EU.

Keir Starmer, "We will rebuilt our ties with Europe too" "The shocking legacy this government inherited in so many areas, from the nation's finances to the NHS, extends beyond our shores" "They turned their back on the world.. Demonising international courts, which this country helped to create"
