  1. So it's a big news day today for the UK. In the past I would have followed the live feeds, kept up with the interviews and analysis and watched everyone and his dog throw in their opinion. Now, though, for me, it's just slipped in between Mendelssohn and Bizet as a quick heads up. Discernment in the content we consume is so important, and I also haven't wasted this morning and I feel so much better because of it! Simon did a great job 20 minutes later in the news headlines to offer a short summary of key points. That's all I needed. Informed, aware, but still present and engaged in my own life. #discernment #contentawareness #socialmedia #switchoffthefeed #deletethenewsapp #takecontrol #classicfm #danwalker #KeirStarmer

  3. Let's check out this article on the BBC about #DanWalker being hit by a #motorist while on his #bike

    bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sout

    "TV presenter Dan Walker has said wearing a helmet saved his life in a bicycle crash in Sheffield."

    A "bicycle crash" was it, no one else involved?

    "Mr Walker, 45, said he was hit by a car while cycling on Monday, leaving him "battered and bruised"."

    He was hit by a "car" was he? Was it autonomous? Or was he actually hit by a #driver *in* a car?

  5. #DanWalker: "The helmet I was wearing saved my life today so – if you’re on a bike – get one on your head."

    #SouthYorkshirePolice: "minor injury collision", therefore no comment.

    So what gives?

    My comment? If wearing a helmet makes you feel better, that's great. But it almost certainly won't save your life if you are hit by a motor vehicle.
