An arcane farming/heraldry cross over query came to me on the farm earlier. Will/Should UK cattle tags be switched over to bear the Tudor Crown? @AlastairBruce_ @TheHeraldrySoc

Indeed. Now that I see things week by week from the pew, I realise how important this perspective is. #SaveTheParish

There is a fake @DXW_KC doing the rounds I see. Unless the real one has taken to sending strangely robotic DMs and then blocking in response to reports.

Caitlin Moran has taken her schtick to Esquire now and this bit — btw. the whole thing is, understandably, a reshaping of bits from her book into a men’s mag-friendly list — is maddening. I’m a step-dad. Dads talk about dadding all the time.

The failure of @HunterBoots is pretty straightforward. It’s what happens if you decrease quality, increase price, alienate your loyal customers and put all your faith in fashion purchasers with no plan for changing taste.

‘Sir’ Jacob Rees-Mogg intervening in a debate to assert that Harriet Harman might be regarded as biased may indicate that satire and parody have been surpassed.

You need a doctor once a year maybe and a fireman once in a lifetime, if you’re unlucky. But you need a farmer three times a day. Wise words from Kaleb Cooper.

Bullies like this, screaming “you’ll be first up against the wall come the revolution!”, are *exactly* why we need the Cab Rank Rule. Otherwise threats and vituperation will leave people unrepresented, to the detriment of us all.

I will henceforth decline to accept instructions in the lucrative world of corporate tax on purely moral grounds (and definitely not because I know nothing about it and have never been offered such instructions but want to virtue signal).

If my gay brothers and sisters are feeling embattled by the bleats of the conservative CofE stormtroopers on Twitter, I just want to say you’re loved by our church and love will win. I promise it will. I’m Just sorry it’s taking so flipping long. I stand with you.

Ukrainian decathlete Volodymyr Androshchuk will not be representing his country at the Paris Olympics because he was just killed by the Russian armed forces. In other news, the IOC announces that Russian athletes are welcome in Paris.

Very sad to hear of the death of Professor Ann Loades. She was a most lively, stimulating colleague on Chapter during my first few years at @durhamcathedral as well as in @durham_uni Dept of Theology. Her contribution to Anglican thought is immense. Her legacy will live on. RIP.
