This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea. newrepublic.com/post/207429/...

Look what happens when the Dow dips below 50,000!!

He was so proud of that joke and it was greeted by dead silence haha

Here’s CBS “news” casually referring to Iran’s nuclear weapons as if Iran has nuclear weapons. They couldn’t possibly sink lower.

I have never seen a politician more directly copy this speech in my life

A very nice early review of my upcoming fantasy novel, Ashes of the Revolution!! (Available on March 11) www.worlddominationenterprises.com/ashes-of-the...

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Sam Altman: The decision to bomb that girls school? They couldn't have made it without us!

We’re gonna need you to get more specific, Tyler.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

I discussed my latest #litfic #novel, The Awakening, on the Beyond Atheism Podcast with @nathgalexander.bsky.social and Todd Tavares. We talked about the novel's post-faith themes, what aspects of religious community we should keep, and my experience living all over the US.

They may have broken Canadians' hearts, but these women are based

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

After a long hiatus, our podcast is back!! Ep. 75: The Awakening – Joseph Lyttleton @10cities10years.bsky.social What would happen if all belief in God disappeared over night? This is the concept that Joseph Lyttleton’s newest novel, The Awakening, sets out to explore.

What in the world...

The constant condescension about ai is another aspect of it that makes me hate it more. The assumption is you can only be against it because you don't understand it like I do. No man. I don't like voluntarily making every human enterprise dependent on a tech run by a tiny group of financial maniacs

'He acknowledged that students are “probably upset right now,” but also said he’s heard some “nightmare stories” about kids going out and “buying fancy watches and cologne,” supposedly alluding to students misusing their OSAP money.' Give me a break 🙄 🙄 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

Happy to share that, at long last, my fantasy novel, Ashes of the Revolution, will be out on March 11!! You can pre-order the e-book version now or wait until the official release date to order the paperback. Pre-order the e-book here: www.amazon.ca/dp/B0GKCJ5JH3

Really good article. Occasionally I contemplate trying online gambling and feel like, "ohhh, the spread is only THAT? I could definitely make money on this," but I've never done it because I can imagine I would become addicted to it very quickly...

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

All of Canada when Bad Bunny yelled CANADAAAA

I created these two maps (one regional and the other a city map) for @nathgalexander.bsky.social‘s upcoming debut novel Ashes of the Revolution, available in March 2026! #fanatsymaps #storytelling #blackandwhite #cartography #noai

There used to be this idea that there were unreleased recordings from The Apprentice where Trump used the N word and that if they ever came out, it would end his political career. I think now if such tapes did come out, it would barely make a one-day blip in the news cycle

The "pick me" energy of this guy is off the charts www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Has there been a religious revival in the UK? In this article, @conradhackett.bsky.social (Pew Research) digs into this question and shows how the use of certain survey methods can offer a skewed picture www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Watching this old man take a water bottle and slowly walk into a mist of tear gas is going to stay with me. Everything they do to make people scared empowers them all the more.

It’s time. I want the see Steve Kerr’s Warriors and Minneapolis’ Timberwolves agree that they simply cannot play this game tonight. A strike in solidarity with the besieged city and its murdered and abducted residents.

The White House posted an edited photo of the activist involved in the Minneapolis church protest, made to look like she was crying.

New from NCF team member Guilherme Borges, "Secular Religious Education? Brief Reflections Based on a Brazilian Case" in the NSRN blog @thensrn.bsky.social thensrn.org/2026/01/17/s...

It's a small thing, but it fills me with civic pride to walk through the giant park near my house and see Hmong families having cookouts, Somali parents pushing their laughing kids on the swings. Like, here are people who've endured horrors, and my city has welcomed them in to build peaceful lives.

🤮🤮🤮

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Yes in thunder. My syllabus statement:

Had an intriguing editorial discussion recently: how did people in the past talk about 'minutes' when they didn't have watches or standardised times? How does that affect your thinking? Come down an Elizabethan/Jacobean rabbit hole with me. 1/

It's interesting to observe Trump and other right-wingers mourning their own. Like with Charlie Kirk, it doesn't like seem there is any genuine affection for the person, only for their usefulness.

Seeing these photos and videos of ICE agents slipping and falling has been nourishing my soul

We're excited to announce the publication of Religion and Nonreligion in Same Sex Marriage Debates: Emerging Imaginaries (edited by Juan Marco Vaggione, Paula Montero, and Lori G. Beaman). This is the latest in our NCF book series published by De Gruyter.

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org religiondispatches.org/elon-musk-ju...

Again, "I only make CSAM for money" would not help an ordinary person's defence, but would aggravate their sentencing.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

The article is every bit as cringe-y as advertised
