Ah, they've "discovered" Plato's grave yet again.

"The UK has become a country that is hostile to freedom of speech, hostile to women, and far too accommodating to the demands of violent, entitled, abusive men who have turned the police into their personal goon squad."

I Posted on X. The British Police Arrested Me. I was arrested at Heathrow, thrown in a cell, rushed to hospital as my blood pressure spiked, and then silenced online—all for posting on social media, writes Graham Lindehan for The Free Press.

"...the state had mobilized five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer for these three posts (and no, I promise you, I am not making this up)." via @thefp.com

"The moment I stepped off the plane at Heathrow, five armed police officers were waiting. They escorted me to a private area and told me I was under arrest for three posts on X. In a country where pedophiles escape prison, where knife crime is out of control..."

John Calvin says the Imago Dei is a divine gift that enables humans to reflect God's glory, not just in rational capacity but as a visible expression of God’s character.

You can avoid this vulnerability by either reading the email or skipping it (or putting it in the bin). But whatever you do, don't click "summarise the email".

Doing that will result in:

~ Fake security alerts

We've Reached the Sad Cracker Barrel Stage of Cultural Evolution Can you imagine fans of Latin music showing support for the Taco Bell logo?
