The right is understandably furious because Chris Nolan decided to make a movie about the consequences of breaking our fundamental commitment to hospitality and to the other How dare Mr. Nolan suggest that a society is doomed that forgets its responsibility towards basic decency

I also wonder -- all the other issues aside -- why is an Editor in Chief of a scientific journal publicly defending and normalising the use of a technofascist technology. In any case, will be avoiding Science, as author, reader, and reviewer, for as long as these practices persist

The Kansas legislature and Board of Regents continues to fail the students of the Sunflower State.

As with the student loan policies, one of the main goals here is to destroy higher education in this country.

I had serious doubts about The Odyssey—and certainly there’s a lot that was left out, as my teenage son loudly complained about afterwards—but I tip my hat to Nolan. This is the adaptation we deserve. The Ithaca scenes were perfect.

I was excited to learn my guide to Rudolf Bultmann's theology was published in Korean—something I found out on Facebook this week when someone in Korea tagged me in their post. mall.godpeople.com?G=9791189092...

I was at this game!

Went to Powell’s City of Books and found one of my old books on the shelf. Never gets old seeing my work on the shelf of my favorite bookstore.

Congratulations on confirming everything Judith Butler ever said about gender performativity, I guess.

We can’t afford to have an England-Argentina battle. Donald Trump is already in the news, and everyone is eating terrible food that gives them diarrhea: the level of 1980s is at dangerous levels as it is.

Looks like I've caught the attention of Sohrab Ahmari's UnHerd. Their new article on Christianity and polyamory quotes my Theology & Sexuality article from last year. unherd.com/newsroom/chr...

Epic title

My kids are way more invested in this match than any of the US games.

I swear if they take away this goal…

This deserves the mockery it’s receiving. But as a Bultmann scholar, I can’t help but marvel at the mythological conception of God on display here. People like this confirm the truth of Bultmann’s claim: you can live in a “biblical” world of material spirits or a scientific world. But not both.

Way back when I helped expose that James Lindsay and his New Discourses website were set up and funded by the head of Sovereign Nations, a White Christian Nationalist org that promotes antisemitic conspiracy theories. Some folks called it guilt by association. Now he’s performing on their cruises. 😏

The point of legislated dehumanization is never just the law itself but the creation of a climate in which institutions become more timid and companies more cautious. Erasure of a people under capitalism arrives first as a thousand risk calculations.

It is undeniably funny that Chris Rufo - whose whole career is based on the idea that identity politics is so bad that its fine to ruin people's lives over it - is unhappy that Mamdani is not adequately appreciative of his identity

Excellent article about someone who ought to be summarily dismissed and ignored.

I don’t think people really understand how bad the OMB proposed rule is going to be for state and local govt. We’re talking about putting a full third of state budgets under the explicit control of Russ Vought. (1/2) www.bondbuyer.com/news/cities-...

Amazing how DeSantis' Stop WOKE Act was the center of our political universe for a time (and we were told the right had won the argument) yet now that it's suffered a crushing defeat, everybody has moved on. Good writeup of DeSantis' loss from @victorerikray.bsky.social: www.ms.now/opinion/flor...

I’m genuinely shocked that almost the entire Anglophone world is busy dismantling academia. The research and teaching missions of universities make them economic engines that pay for themselves several times over—all while building soft power essentially for free.

No such thing as too many books.

The metaphors are getting stronger

Literal exact truth.

This is the academic freedom jurisprudence we've been waiting 100 years for law.justia.com/cases/federa...

Not saying that game was stolen from Egypt but it is now on display at museum in London.

Trump just called Infantino and said the U.S. got cheated on the score. Trump said, "I just need you to find 4 more goals, 1 more than they have."

for the first time in almost a thousand years, the universe has called upon Norway to crush the English

The corruption finally paid off in the right way.

Well whaddya know

Truly, what could be more fitting on the 250th than this?

Elon: “Mamdani…is a taker…” Eriksen: “Elon, this is the moment where you're supposed to wise up & abandon classical liberalism *** Universal suffrage leads to universal suffering.” Elon: “I have wised up.” (What a statement—especially on the 4th of July.) 1/

Nothing quite captures the spirit of America 250 like promising a century of single party rule if only one party can change election laws.

What a goal. This is incredible drama.

👣 On the LGBTQIAPK2S Club podcast, @chrismarnone.bsky.social, author of "My Name Was Baby" reflects on the shared human experiences that connect us, regardless of sex, gender, or identity. Learn more about "My Name Was Baby": https://kansaspress.ku.edu/9780700643523/ #Intersex #LGBTQIA #UPKansas

From the official White House account. Not at all subtle.

Redeemed Zoomer—AKA Richard Ackerman—ironically making a good case for becoming Catholic.

Matthew Vines is part of a larger story. In April Ben Appel published a similar op-ed in WSJ. Last November he published Cis White Gay, about how he left the "Cult of Queer" at Columbia University. The same month McCrea published a book on how the addition of T and Q to LGB was hubris.

Arguing like "We are GOOD CHRISTIANS we're not QUEERS" is so sad and embarrassing. They're still not going to love you, Matthew. Get free.

First Things is falling all over themselves trying to be the most anti–birthright citizenship mouthpiece. They’ve read the tea leaves for the conservative movement and decided to go all in on this.

So, this is in print now. Title pretty much says it all. virginialawreview.org/articles/abo...

I wrote about the Supreme Court's latest disgusting anti-trans ruling. I wrote about it because I refuse to act like taking away constitutional rights and allowing legal discrimination is okay just because it's happening to people who don't poll well in a diner in Ohio. In @thenation.com

More great analysis from @edzitron.com

The Balogun red card can be overturned, if Mike Pence has the courage

This is an incredible resource from @unlawfulentries.bsky.social.

First Things immediately confirming @elienyc.bsky.social’s prediction.
