It’s 2 years to the day since Russian agents tried to poison the leading opposition figure Alexei Navalny with Novichok in the Xander Hotel in the Siberian city of Tomsk. He survived, was treated in Germany, and went back to Russia — where he is now serving a long jail sentence.

The #eltonfarewelltour lands in Philadelphia tonight & I can’t wait to play for this town which I love so much, have played in nearly 90x, & has inspired so much of my sound, especially this song, ‘Philadelphia Freedom’ which Bernie & I wrote for my dear friend, @BillieJeanKing.

He & I worked for HBO Sports as Wimbledon commentators for almost 10 years.

@RFupdates With all due respect Dr Craig l’d suggest atheists have a much more ethically informed framework that brings meaning, value and purpose than justifying genocide as per yesterday’s tweet by yourself (I paraphrase): God can do what he likes as he’s God! Morally repugnant!
@RFupdates Fact: “But rather Sikhism affirms that there is genuine moral evil in the world which is in opposition to God and which God opposes and calls upon us to oppose too, with all of our energy.”
Fact: opposing genuine moral evil is not the exclusive domain of Judeo-Christian faith

@Sabiwa1@Ayaan Chris Hitch … quoting history and how it has proved the liberal Protestant abolitionists right and the conservative Protestant slave owners wrong! Fast forward nearly 200 years and he’d be giving a positive shout out to the liberal Lutheran church and its support for Pride Week
