May Lent bring you as much patience as whoever is working Bedford council's social media

@marnanel Man, it's sad. It's 2026 and these kinds of people still exists

@marnanel council of nicaea 🧑‍

@EF @marnanel
you're assuming maggie tyers is a real human being and is from the uk

@marnanel Brilliant!

@Tallish_Tom @Tooden @marnanel Russian one, if I have to guess.

@marnanel the only BBC we stan

@rupert @marnanel Because: "Everyone knows: the moon is made of cheese Grommit".

@floppyplopper @EF @marnanel

There's enough people like her in real life that it's not an unreasonable assumption.

@floppyplopper @EF @marnanel

This moose did think "MAGAt Tyers", closely followed by "Maggot Tyres". I must admit.

More power to Bedford Borough Council's elbow. 3:O)>

@thekerker @rupert @marnanel

Someone is clearly afraid of Beowulf, or has been listening to Cornelius Vanderdecker telling tall stories. 3:O)>

@Cadbury_Moose It is Facebook as well so you somewhat expect the reactionaries to be more common there.

@floppyplopper @EF @marnanel

@marnanel

@floppyplopper @marnanel yes and no. Mostly no. Most of it comes from observation and the underriding reasons Brexit succeeded, Reform's popularity etc. Not just meaning solely white people being racist either.

@marnanel Glorious!

@marnanel It is, however, shocking that Bedford council's social media presence is not aware the Ramadan is set by one of several sighting committees, rather than directly by the creation of the moon.
My knowledge of current Islamic theology is insufficient to suggest which sighting committee holds for which communities. It is however probably safe to assume that Bedford Borough Council does not hold authority over the Saudi Arabia sighting committee, which is often recognized and almost always considered.

@marnanel This is the proper way to respond to fools.

@marnanel

@Tallish_Tom @Tooden @marnanel a bigotbot

"Bedford Borough Council holds no authority over the Council of Nicaea and was not responsible for the creation of the moon 4.53billion years ago."

@marnanel naturally, I wonder about the timeline in which the Bedford Council *does* control the Nicaean Council and the creation of Luna. Unless that *is* our timeline. Remember, accusation == confession.
