Wow. Why name her in the book, though? Seems like that was unnecessary.

The response by @radtranslib.bsky.social is brilliant. I'm going to be referring to this constantly going forward.

Two of my authors emailed me today because they received virtually the same inquiry asking about featuring their book for a book club. If you received something like this, delete it and block the address. This is AI spam. It's not real.

I've hired a grad student to make copies of files at the Fuller Seminary archive, and I just found out that the Fuller library does not have a scanner or copy machine available for researchers. They told me you have to bring your own scanner or use a phone! I'm honestly shocked.

It’s time to post one of my favorite memes of the year.

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social breaks down the ‘right to exist’ argument about Israel and why the discourse is clear Israeli propaganda plus he shares three ways you can counter-argument if you find yourself stuck in the same bullsh*t debate. Watch now: youtu.be/JEoIUoH6kZY

Authors, take note!

I'll be giving the following paper at this November's AAR meeting as part of the Karl Barth Society of North America session. Looking forward to what should be quite a lively conversation.

Today is the two year anniversary of my book, Who Is a True Christian? In rereading it, I think my analysis remains as relevant as ever—particularly my critique of the weaponization of Christianity and my call for a polydox approach to religion and politics. www.cambridge.org/us/universit...

Holy shit these two photos from Artemis II that were shared just a bit ago.

Next up for Vance... All About Love: How Conservatives Are Saving the Family The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and the Future of the West Teaching to Transgress: Why Higher Education Has Gone Woke and How to Fix It

Waiting for the Straussian esoteric readings of Vance as a radical feminist and hooks as a national conservative

Wouldn’t be surprised to learn if half the reason for the war was to provide an excuse for cutting domestic programs.

New at Can We Still Govern?: @unlawfulentries.bsky.social puts yesterday's oral arguments about birthright citizenship into historical perspective, noting how the Fourteenth Amendment took aim at internal migration laws that restricted movement. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/rememberin...

WHAT

Not in a thousand tries could I have guessed what the word “popularized by Palantir” was. I’m speechless.

This whole thread is delightful.

My friend just said "Shorter Sotomayor: 'Daniel Webster called you a fucking idiot. Thoughts?'" That's the best description available for what's happening here. :)

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

This movement has never been about violent criminal aliens, undocumented immigrants writ large, or even immigration in general, but about the country’s changing ethnic and religious makeup. It has always been about white Christian nationalism.

i swear this gov is a TV show. the head of intelligence got hacked and used his real name for a porn account. the head of dept of war accidentally texted war plans to a journalist. and now former head of homeland security grappling with husband's secret cross-dressing double life in anti-LGBTQ admin

I converted to Catholicism last week. Here's why the Pope's criticism of the war in Iran is wrong.

Adult converts shouldn't be allowed to write about their faith unless they're the pope or a rough equivalent.

I hate this Court so much.

I'm available to write a review (wink wink). apnews.com/article/jd-v...

This is a very helpful piece. Important especially for all those evangelicals who have bought the Carl Trueman narrative on gender identity

Nice to see conservative Lincoln scholars like Guelzo go for Trump’s jugular when it comes to birthright citizenship.

This is a beautiful passage. Might make this an epigraph to a future book.

Polyamory is nerdy! So is BDSM. And engaging in them ethically is anti-patriarchal. That’s why it upsets some people. It’s also why queer people tend do these types of relationships more smoothly than heterosexual people

My AAR paper proposal for the Karl Barth Society of North America was accepted. I'll be speaking on the topic of "The Politics of God’s Yes: Karl Barth in Conversation with American Christian Nationalism." It's been over a decade since I spoke to a group of Barthians. Should be fun.

My latest piece for my Postpostliberalism substack is a long essay on R. R. Reno's case for Christian nationalism, looking at both his 2016 book on the idea of a Christian society and his recent First Things article. I don't pull any punches. open.substack.com/pub/dwcongdo...

Painfully accurate.

Everybody take a turn posting.

Game over, atheists. That’s proof.

Calling all men of #APhiA! Bishop William Barber and I are looking for 1,000 brothers nationwide to commit to being trained in organizing and mobilizing for the midterm elections. We are focused on several states.

I know I've plugged this incessantly this week, but if you haven't, you really should listen to my interview with @julieingersoll.bsky.social about Pete Hegseth's religion. Illuminates his obsession with maximum lethality as a religious imperative, and more --> redcircle.com/shows/fbed71...

Doomerism is libs' and lefties' way of obeying in advance.

Another day, another violation of academic freedom in Texas. This time a university is firing a philosophy professor owing to complaints about an off-campus talk he gave on the Israeli-Palestine conflict...

Pete Hegseth called them “narco terrorists” and the official statement from the Trump administration called it a training camp for drug traffickers. It was a dairy farm. They murdered Ecuadorian farmers. With our money. The War on Drugs has always been a fascist plot to kill Black and Brown people

We need an Infinite Jest–like Entertainment—likely just images of US bombs blowing up random targets—that we can play on a loop to melt Trump's brain and keep him distracted while others, preferably some updated version of Les Assassins des Fauteuils Rollents, run the actual government.

Groan. I had a bad feeling when they changed ownership.

It's a beautiful wooden horse. We're putting it on the big patio where the Rose Garden used to be.

Good people, please fill out those Anthropic claims. Settlement is going to be around $3000 per book. "Anthropic will pay $1.5 billion plus interest into a settlement fund, equating to approximately $3,000 for each work covered by the settlement." www.susmangodfrey.com/wins/susman-....

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”

Excellent to be invited at @lpeblog.bsky.social to comment on @beaubaumann.bsky.social”s already celebrated post. Where are we in the quest for legislative supremacy? lpeproject.org/blog/of-lpe-...

So, um... this is bad. Really bad. I looked at the letters that were translated by the AI, and the very first one I found was almost entirely hallucination. Thread:
