I don't think it's widely enough known that, before #WW1, #Germany carried out #genocide in German South West #Africa, now #Namibia. In many ways, it presaged the #holocaust. Despite talk of #reconciliation, Namibians still await reparations (from nostr:npub144mu847vmq9520l7wrlm5krmxgl0ackvsuc3fets4gp7zhqqtgmsd6cvdv, in German)
nostr:npub1avz276l0vz0xs3amfwg888k7muaelal9auuj9tdk79drz67zm89q7t8av6 a mixed blessing! But I do love that area- Lochinver is a favourite town!

I notice that #US news agency, the Associated Press (#AP), reporting the latest on #Trump, just refers to "#Twitter" and ignores its recent renaming

How local #news saves money
#journalism
nostr:npub1z5qtlmxrdl580lmzg4m8taqazee0aj3me8mvezunnprxn6ard73qja54vx I'm trying to think of a quotation!
On #Sunday, I led #prayers in #church that about the upcoming #RutherglenandHamiltonWest by election (which includes my #Cambuslang parish), saying "we ask that the debates would be civil". So it's disappointing that a senior #UK #politician would use language like this, and that his leadership appears to justify it. I hope for better from the local candidates

How not to spread your #faith- make your #atheist and #agnostic employees attend company #prayers, and sack them if they don't!
#HS2 #tunnel boring machines reach #GreatMissenden. It was fascinating to see the scale of the HS2 construction works from the air the other week

The site of #SouthKorea's disastrous #Scout #jamboree is a reclaimed #wetland, once home to millions of birds, that has been described as "cursed" and is now a desert. "It is cursed with deaths of countless #migratory #birds and dead #water... It was time we called #Saemangeum for what it is: an #ecological disaster brought on by the mistaken perception of #human relationship to the #nature."

nostr:npub18ljjwuh8vt0lrh3fe3vsefddt40u297gtsk3d4v4ywhjnvms9zfqy480hq it's easy. It's how the world is. God created a good world, but somehow it's faffed up. There's almost no need to defend the basic Christian doctrine of sin!
