The South Bank Center held a celebration of Nina Simone last night. Her song, Mississippi Goddam, is a reaction to the racial injustices of 60’s America.

She might have been inspired by Christianity. You can’t prove that she wasn’t, so I’ll assume that she was. Christianity tells us that in the Invisible Magic Afterlife there will be no injustice. Christianity, isn’t it brilliant.

An actual clear sky for a few hours last night. For reasons I won’t go into for the moment, I could only go out for a few minutes. But I still managed to take a few pics of the planets with my trusty Lumix GF7. I’ve stitched a couple together to try and see the four main ones at once. Not sure how well this will come out on a small screen though.

Sorry to cut across Mona’s excellent TFTD this morning.

UK universities are cutting jobs. Humanities tend to suffer most. The universities are increasingly training colleges rather than centers of learning. But now, more than ever, we need to learn how to think.

We’re getting a new Silicon Valley between Oxford and Cambridge. This is EXACTLY the same as the feeding of the 5,000. Don’t worry if this is true, although it’s told in all four gospels, and if that isn’t good enough for you then I don’t know what is. All the food is collected and distributed fairly according to Marxist principals, except it’s run be religious people. Communism run by clerics, heaven on earth.

Gen Z are less likely to be atheists and more positive about the rule of dictators. And what better dictator than the Invisible Magic Friend. He doesn’t instigate endless inquiries, reports and investigations into the consequences. He just orders people to do things, and then threatens them with eternal damnation in everlasting fire if they refuse. Simples.

Gen Z are clearly wise, virtuous and, what is the word, spiritual.
