Loitering is literally the entire point of a public mall. That's why they built it.

Thank you so much Bob for your review!

Welp there’s no unseeing this

wake up babe the white house is a six flags

The only one to (correctly!) acknowledge that high school sports is about kids having fun and learning things, and not a sacred competition to see who gets to avoid student loan debt

The one I've been waiting for

In which four pastors talk about their love for The Pitt, and how badly that joint needs some chaplains: maryannmckibbendana.substack.com/p/pop-cultur...

"Watch me do a blasphemy"

A good excuse to quote my dearly departed theology professor, Shirley Guthrie, who said he couldn’t be a universalist, simply because some people will get to heaven and be so disgusted by all the people they hate being there that they’ll demand to leave.

If someone attacks a synagogue because they're angry at Israel, that is antisemitism. It doesn't matter the reason they're angry. Targeting a synagogue because they need to take out their anger on Jewish people--and any Jewish place of worship will do--is antisemitism.

I'm certain my 11yo lives off of ramen and darkness.

Aged like milk!

Most offensive co-opting of the LOTR series, amirite @edwardgoode.bsky.social ?

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

A church at the center of crisis speaks: “We refuse to submit to chaos and terror” At the center of recent violence in Minneapolis, Westminster Presbyterian Church's session calls for courageous love.

Story time. Tony Campolo was preaching back in the 1980s and said, while we were sleeping last night, 45,000 kids died of starvation & malnutrition, and what’s worse is folks don’t give a shit! And even worse, some of y'all are more concerned that I said ‘shit’ than you are over dead kids

He very last act is to turn the wheels away from the ICE officer.

I’ve always said people aren’t sweaty enough on cross-country flights

And badly. Signed, Pastor with a master's degree in this stuff

It wasn't miss piggy because she would have judo chopped his ass

Random acts of journalism

Again, the only possible explanation is that MTG was recently visited overnight by three ghosts.

Highly intelligent and pretending to be stupid is worse that being stupid

Some context from @stevevladeck.bsky.social on what KBJ is doing www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-w...

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

I had a beloved theology professor who, when someone asked whether he thought everyone ends up in heaven, responded, "No... some people will get there and be so disturbed by who else is there that they won't want to stay."

Blasphemy

This is an excellent post, and I hope to be able to join as a member very soon.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Blaming the entire Democratic Party for the actions of three individuals who weren’t, as far as we know, even Democratic voters and then telling Democrats they need to tone down *their* hateful rhetoric is a hell of a combination

I couldn't quite nail why @anamariecox.bsky.social's comment resonated so much with me. But you did. I am not against persuading people. That's important. But many people invoking the word persuasion constantly are just status quo defenders. The term civility serves the same purpose.

It’s not simply important to denounce political violence because it looks bad not to. It’s the right thing to do on the merits. Even more specifically to this moment it’s important because the forces of fascism are inherently better at political violence than the forces of civic democracy.

Do these idiots even realize that shooting Charlie Kirk makes you a worse person than Charlie Kirk?

😱

Blasphemy. www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

Adam, give the guy some credit. He does an admirable job of putting on his human skin every day.

French farmers, casually keeping stock of one always full manure tank in case a protest assembles.

I wonder how many of the "there's no point in voting/fighting back, it's too late" comments I'm seeing here are actually sincere, and how many are bots intended to sow despair.

Burgum must be baffled by how his smartphone can work without a plug and stored in his pocket without exposure to sunlight.

Dear autocorrect, you're gonna need to start doing better with the word "gestapo"
