I hope that Catholics and Anglicans are all in a worthy state to be part of the spiritual body of Christ in their respective Portadown communities today. How the Orange Lodge fits in with either remains puzzling, but where there's a will there's surely a way!
Samuel Lewis's " A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland" (1837) described places, not local oral traditions and "Garvaghy", originally the name of a townland, was not simply a road. Garvaghy's” older meaning is “rough field” or “rough field-land”; Irish Gaelic "Garbh Achadh".
@Edwina_Currie I like the idea that today's kitchens can be science laboratories for healthy nutrition and sustainable living, intelligently modifying the meal traditions that our grandmothers passed on to us.
@KemiBadenoch@Helen_Whately Pulling the rug from under the feet is unproductive and causes a chain of suffering. Ensuring everyone has a secure home with all the features needed to reliably support a healthy working life is the primary responsibility that UK elected representatives ought to be working on.
Perhaps AI’s humane purpose is not to tell us what to believe, but to help us discover whether what matters—care, responsibility, belonging and relationship—still holds true when we encounter something genuinely new... ?
A lovely, representative snapshot of a very small proportion of the publicly faceless individuals who do incredibly demanding work, pay taxes, meet extortionate living expenses, and do all the actual budging-up and adjusting to immigration that the government demands of them.
If gamers were more philosophical, they’d place an X where published truth and lived reality beneficially align. The winners would be those who most accurately map uncertainty to locate those alignments.
After defeating Napoleon at WATERloo in 1815, Arthur WELLesley, 1st Duke of WELLington, further secured his place in history by commissioning a more practical riding boot design for rural life—placing Britain firmly on its feet. Today, the design is fully WATERproof.
I've been wondering, at what point do incentive-driven feedback systems produce system-level behaviours which are indistinguishable from those of a deliberately designed collective agent? Are we becoming part of an ever evolving ecology of cognition shaped by shared info systems?
In the @UKHouseofLords today I held a debate on the impact of artificial intelligence on human relationships and society.
AI will shape many aspects of our lives in the years ahead. It brings significant opportunities, but also raises important questions about connection, dignity, truth and what it means to be human.
☔💧🔬 Rain doesn't stop solar panels working - it cleans them! Rain doesn't cancel outdoors work- it prevents costly expeditions to collection points for bottles of drought emergency water! April showers didn't vanish - anticyclone pressure sent them on a continental holiday!
Cyber security depends on collective action. Cybercrime has no legitimate place in digital society and must be continuously prevented, detected, and disrupted to protect trust, safety, and resilience. So, overcome fear, stay aware and act responsibly online!
Dr. Margaret Heffernan, expert in management thinking, gave a keynote address at #CYBERUK26 on the psychology behind inaction. It's time for Boards to drive a cultural shift towards proactive cyber security.

Neuralink decided its best to put their implant inside the skull, letting skull/hair grow back over top. Data centres similarly are fitting-in below ground most efficiently, symbiotically integrating with forestry, solar harvesting, and horticulture above.

@TansuYegen Impressively effective sowing for large areas where this technology is available, but not a miracle-worker for dry or barren ground. Lots of preparation is needed first to ensure the soil is suitable for planting and lasting growth.

@johnredwood Much relevant data is missing from the equation here. Gas suppliers in the North of England mix a slightly less costly product than those in the South, despite similar charges per unit. Tax payers settle excess bill through central NHS funding and losses.

Fossil fuels vary geologically. Recent research that assesses the "consumer grade" North Sea-fed gas piped into UK/Dutch/Italian homes, indicates much higher natural benzene (carcinogenic) loads than North America has, which isn't good for UK/EU health. https://t.co/6Ie4RppJZS
A responsible manager sets goals within legal/ethical/sustainable bounds, gives clear constructive direction, and builds for long-term security and societal value— that's what delivers reliable results without collateral damage. Katie killed the good manager to score her point.

@austeni Religious diaries overlap beautifully this year (Lent/Ramadan/Passover), as do many shared practices: fasting & abstaining, praying & reflecting, almsgiving & compassion, focus upon community & renewal. Yet shared culture only emerges with authentic practice of diverse tradition.
Tragic Day 18 of the US/Israel-Iran War, yet the Israel-Iran conflict's suffered attacks on Ramat Gam and other Israeli civilian centres since April 2024 (with clips of the 13 June 25 Iranian bombing of Ramat Gam currently circulating online again). RIP.

@elonmusk If God sat at that table too, I imagine He smiled and said: 'It's okay to see the world through different senses—physics or code, waves or particles—so long as all your grounds of sensibility remain rooted in My love. The rest is just how I let you glimpse the mystery.' (Jn10:34)
