Our Chief Mouser, feline diplomat and former @Battersea_ resident, Palmerston @DiploMog, has sadly passed away at his retirement post in Bermuda.

Farewell Palmerston, with love and thanks from all your FCDO friends.

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage.
I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong.
Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole.
Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you...

Palmerston, Diplocat extraordinaire, passed away peacefully on 12 February. “Palmy” was a special member of the Government House team in Bermuda, and a much loved family member. He was a wonderful companion, with a gentle nature, and will be sorely missed.

Asked a guy on the train to stop playing his music out loud and he was like “but I forgot headphones.” It’s like okay cool what you said constitutes so great a deviation from my mental model of acceptable human thinking that I no longer know how to communicate with you

On Christmas Eve in 1985, British Airways did something almost unimaginable today.

It took four Concordes in formation to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the first commercial Concorde flight, filled them not with paying passengers, celebrities, or transatlantic executives, but with its own staff, and sent them into the winter sky in close formation.

This was not a VIP charter or a PR gimmick designed for headlines. It was an internal morale event wrapped inside a historic photoshoot, one of the most extravagant employee perks any airline has ever offered.

Surely in the modern era there should be a new Concorde.

What a spectacle and what a aeroplane 🚀

Today, we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. We honor the lives of the 29 crew members we lost that night.

In the half century since the wreck, the story has become legend.

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

Today marks 50 years since the Edmund Fitzgerald and her crew of 29 sank during a violent storm on Lake Superior.

In Minnesota, we continue to honor their legacy.

50 years ago today, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald and its 29 brave crew members, including two Minnesotans, were lost on Lake Superior.

We honor their memory, the families who still grieve, and the mariners who face those waters every day.

“In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed…at the Maritime Sailors Cathedral…The church bell chimed…It rang 29 times for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.”

Fifty years ago today.

Nothing musty at all about the beautiful Mariners Church in Detroit.

Before Dracula, Bram Stoker was an authority on law & order, serving at Dublin Castle and overseeing 600+ courts as Inspector of Petty Sessions. His legal precision later shaped the document-driven structure of his iconic vampire novel.

In recent years, many young people have approached the faith through social media, successful programs and popular online Christian witnesses. The danger is that a faith discovered online is limited to individual experiences, which may be intellectually and emotionally reassuring, but never “embodied.” Such experiences remain “disembodied,” detached from the “ecclesial body.”
