nostr:npub1v9kwmst5jkd94wl55dngt7x6urqc84nukgdvc57s7umlz9x4rx5q6csdmx well, from what I read of it, it certainly didn't seem radical! It read a bit like an attempt to revitalise the ideas of the Oxford Movement. I liked the title, as I do think that, properly understood, orthodox Christology and Trinitarian theology ought to have radical consequences (the Son of God executed by an empire for preaching radical grace!)

An aide to an #AfD member of the #German parliament is revealed to have funnelling aid for the party from #Putin's regime. Among other things, they paid for a lawsuit to stop #Germany exporting #tanks to #Ukraine.

We are going to make sweet chilli dipping sauce, which sounds like an acoustic ballad

But in his day he was also regular at our local in the village where we lived in Hampshire. One of his ad-libs reflects that area, (paraphrase) "You look like a ballerina mincing her way through Swan Lake at an amateur performance at the village hall in Middle Wallop", that being a couple of miles from where we lived.

Do roads in the uk not all have limits, or did Edinburgh just have stupid high limits?

Well done, #Edinburgh, where road deaths dropped by 23% and serious injuries fell by 33% a year after its 20mph #speed restriction was introduced. We need more, not less, #SpeedLimits, #BikeLanes, #ULEZ, #LTN and #PublicTransport

Delighted to see more people discovering the #JamesRobertsonJustice #biography on #Wikipedia. I discovered it through a post on the site formerly known as #Twitter (back when it was fun!). I don't know who wrote the original Tweet, but, if they are here- thank you very much!

In case you're wondering about my #FF toot going out on a Saturday- I tried to set it up with a schedule, but it just didn't fly! #FridayFollows

Though the fact that when dealing with Roman Catholic theology after Vatican II, it refers to Pope John Paul II and Cardinal Ratzinger, I'm thinking it's not bang up to date with now.

nostr:npub1hwkl9qfat9fh954jc0znh5l5ydahlde2tqvs0hnlv8vc0lpdwlrspjshyq you've reminded me that I did one for the first time this week, scheduled to go out on Friday. But for some reason it was still sitting in my "drafts". So I've sent it on its (late) way now. Here it is https://mastodon.scot/@Peternimmo/110836161270783544
