To my Siblings in Christ™ who wring your hands about the decline of The West™, your fear goes back even to the Greeks fearing from the East leopard-riding young hotgod Dionysus, disruptive twice-born corrupter of women, who brings wine, soft clothes, & satyrs. But he is of the oldest Greek gods.

Meanwhile, Depeche Mode have launched a campaign against cars with loud exhausts making local people’s lives a misery in the Basildon and Billericay area. “We just want to enjoy the silence,” said lead singer Dave Gahan. salisburyandavon.co.uk/injunction-s...

“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:

Generative AI is not only fundamentally based on the rejection of consent, but also *standards*. Artists have been micromanaged and hounded over individual pixels, academics fighting to defend every minute detail of their thesis, etc, and then are tossed away in favor of the get shit wrong machine.

I mean look Republicans are actually very pro-murder

Who are the historians who are siding with David Barton and Dan Patrick? There is not a single history PhD on this Religious Liberty Commissioners and Advisory Board. www.justice.gov/religious-li...

Jeez. This shit in my feed again.

“Unit Two, for example, contains a lesson on the Founders and slavery. It repeatedly argues that both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are fundamentally anti-slavery documents. It claims that all of the Founders—even those who enslaved human beings—opposed slavery.”

Between this commission's report and the Texas SBOE's pending vote on Bible-infused, Christian nationalist curriculum, I think it is fair to assume that David Barton is having one of the best days of his entire life.

David Barton and Wallbuilders is to blame for this argument.

This man is so small that he says this.

God forbid a woman have some time to herself

Max Weber, eat your heart out.

@tlecaque.bsky.social explains how Christian nationalists are rewriting American history courses in Florida with the help of Christopher Rufo and Hillsdale College:

Every Mancunian hates Trump even more.

If my cat were a human, he'd be in jail by now.

Hey, need to tell an evangelical about Jesus, wealth, camel, and “needle gate” myth? Why not go even further and tell them about the origins of the myth, ITSELF?

I know probably one bona fide communist. I know many more social democrats and democratic socialists. But these are mostly *clergy* and people trained in a progressive/liberal theological tradition, so the Bible radicalized us, which is confusing to conservatives. But sure. The Dems are communist.

You’ve divided your last joy. You’ve ordered your last new(t).

UPDATE: A majority of the board voted to CUT references to "The Black Robe Regiment" from 2nd-grade lessons. Instead, they'd learn that "pastors who preached about freedom inspired America's independence" and that "some" served in the army. There is still a final vote on the curricula on Friday.

1) “Judeo-Christian” is supersessionist, a heretical replacement theology. 2) The State understands Judaism only as far as it acknowledges the NT. There is nothing about Judaism after the birth of Christianity (originally a Jewish movement). Nothing Rabbinical, Medieval (e.g. Maimonides), or Modern.

Regardless of party, institutional politics is, by default, conservative and seeks to preserve its status quo. I don’t make the rules. They do.

Just a reminder that the “Spanish” flu originated among soldiers stationed at Camp Funston in Fort Riley, Kansas.

The European Evangelical Alliance has condemned a Russian missile attack on Kyiv that killed nine civilians and set fire to one of Christianity's oldest monastic sites, calling the assault an attempt to erase Ukrainian identity and memory.

If you are a Joy Division fan & in NYC this summer, go see this amazing exhibition of Ian Curtis’s handwritten lyrics, Joy Division material, etc, on the LES. Last night, I had the honor of attending the opening reception & it was incredible! The Uni Manchester team did such a great job. Thank you!

Leonard Cohen must be weeping right now, but not because he thinks what they’re doing to his song is a beautiful thing. If you dare to watch one of the most brutalized (and there are a lot of these) renditions of “Hallelujah” ever, this is it. This is not the “you want it darker” I want, tbh.
