The Irish premiere of a Good Friday Passion for our times: James MacMillan’s St. John Passion, hailed by Rowan Williams as ‘a landmark for contemporary music’.

Echoes of Latin motets, Gregorian chant and Bach chorales can be heard alongside Scottish folk accents in a striking, modern re-telling with Christ portrayed by David Kravitz, and the Evangelist by Chamber Choir Ireland, with the National Symphony Orchestra & Chorus.

I'm currently working on a project that I want to expand on beyond 2025. Part of this project is to post certain things to the Fediverse on certain days. My #goodfriday gave me the idea, but #medimittwoch (both in German) is the "big" project with links and (positive) stuff about medicine every Wednesday.

I'm using a #11ty (@eleventy) as my static site generator. Some posts have a frontmatter of 'fediverse: pending' on specific days, and are then fetched and posted here.

Thing is... I wrote the client for this in Python a few years back (during SARS-CoV-2's rampage) to post COVID-19 news. Cool, methinks, let's rewrite this in JavaScript, so I don't drag another language dependency and more work around.

But, oh boyee... compared to the sleek and elegant code in Python, JS is really, really, really, messy. Now I know how a Rust coder feels, when going Microsoft C# or something.

async/await is nice, but it adds layers over layers of logic and debugging nightmares. Libraries are a convoluted mess, so much so, that I dropped the masto library and just do my own axios calls. Saves me six dependencies, four of which have outdated/vulnerable warnings.

And it's about twice the code size. Could be because I am a shit coder and just know Python better from all those mask study scripts I've written, but still...

But, hey, it works...

Ich fang jetzt was an: #goodfriday

Ja, ich weiß, ist erst in ein paar Wochen, aber ich denke ich brauche das (und Du, verdammt nochmal, auch), dass ich mich am Wochenende hinsetze und mal zusammenschreibe, was diese Woche alles geil war. Sachen, die mich echt und richtig zum lachen, grinsen, schmunzeln, oder tagträumen gebracht haben.

Ich war in Norwegen und habe in Røros eine alte Mine besichtigt und das geilste Minenmuseum der Welt besucht. War super super cool.

Dann bin ich den Berg rauf unter meinem Snowmobil gelandet und wir haben zwei Stunden das Ding wieder ausgraben müssen. War trotzdem extrem Spaß.

Ich habe im Espa Boller (das ist so eine Hype-Tankstelle, die auch Zimtbrötchen verkauft, die in Norwegen und Schweden DAS Gebäck sind) zu viel gegessen. Und dann mit einem Moschusochsen-Baby gekuschelt. Habe drei Stunden mit zwei Schlittenhunden Fangen gespielt, und durfte den Schneepflug-Unimog fahren.

In Everum ist ein saugeiles Waldmuseum. Warum haben wir solche Museen, wie das in Røros und das in Elverum nicht in DE? Habe ganz viel Läkerol und Smil nach DE gebracht.

Und das alles mit der tollsten Person auf diesem Planeten. Woche war drittbra.

So schön kann Winter sein. Schneebedeckte Hügel und weiß wohin man sieht.
Mein Snøskuter ein paar Minuten bevor ich ihn im tiefen Neuschnee umgeworfen und versenkt habe.
Mama Moschus schaut mich ganz vorwurfsvoll an, weil ich Baby Moschus knuddle.
Das "Wohnzimmer" für die Woche. Der Good Boy im Bild hat mit mir zwei Stunden im Schnee gespielt.

Recently I've started to share my weekday Bible readings more widely, using an XMPP channel. So if you want to listen to me (or sometimes @DMakarios) reading passages from Gloria Wall's reading plan wall.org/~gloria/lect/index.ht using public domain translations, you can join: bible-radio@groups.freespoken.

Or, if you don't have an XMPP account, and don't want one, you can still participate at freespoken.nz/bible-radio/

I started doing this on Good Friday, so if you want, you can even scroll back that far and listen to the older recordings.

I don't edit stumbles out of my recordings before I post them, but a kind participant is reposting edited versions of some of my recordings.

Religion is the glue for a sustained, successful society. Or *a* glue. Traditions and rules define a society, and upholding and adhering to them also defines the individual members.
Take traditions and rules away and you get a bunch of non-connected elements, a bunch of Is without We. Such a tradition-less, rule-less ex-society grooms sociopathy. Which quickly renders the bunch of I's incapable of cooperation.
And when cooperation ceases, the former society disappears.

Could be, all humans have the inner potential to becoming a sociopath. I'm certain, every human is vulnerable to becoming a sociopath via trauma and epigenetics.
But before that happens, the brain-wired willingness to adhere to traditions and rules is dominant and makes the society successful. But it isn't a permanent wiring. It can be cut.

So it's important for a society to define itself via traditions and rules that all members or most members uphold. But not (only) the abstract law books, no, those become virtually non-existent and toothless for defining a society. There need to be traditions and rules an individual is exposed to regularly and reliably, so as to re-enforce the non-permanent brain-wiring responsible for rules-based behaviour. Like: all shops closed on a Sunday, or no dance and no #LifeofBrian on #GoodFriday, or all people have Saturday and Sunday and the evenings from 6pm off, May ball, Christmas ball, chish 'n fips on Fridays, and so on.
#Neoliberalism has set the paths for our societies toward sociopathy.
