Leucovorin is vitamin B9. It’s sold by quack Dr Oz. JD Vance owns a company that sells American land to foreign buyers. Trump sells crypto. I’m sure there are many such grifts going on in the current administration. It’s one big grift.

Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

So when is RFK going to do a hearing about geriatric sperm and autism?

Mike Nellis said this on a podcast yesterday and it made the rapturous (lol) discourse around Charlie Kirk (who I always thought was kind of a minor player) kind of click into place

The Trump administration gave Mikie Sherrill’s Social Security number, home address, and insurance records to her Republican opponent. Ciattarelli’s campaign then distributed them for political gain despite being told not to. This is a massive violation of Mikie’s privacy and endangers her family.

These are all just places where we are surveilled, sorted, and encouraged to despair

We don't actually need any of these products

This system of protecting men, minimizing their wrongdoing (and crime), and hoarding power is why young women are leaving the church, and will continue to leave

A man who works in Christian counseling grooms and sexually abused his much younger subordinate, gets found out, receives a hefty severance, a new job, then his old job back, the continues to climb the ladder of success in Christian institutions to this day. 1/

Guns are the leading cause of death for children and teens in America. And yet they are trying to restrict access to Tylenol, but not to guns.

I love pepper plants. I kind of ignore them all summer because they seem like theyre not doing much. Then in September when the rest of the garden descends into chaos and I think “I dont actually want to eat this winter squash” they’re like “oh, here. We made these for you”

The Homan bribery news has not broken through to conservative dads

TWO THIRDS????????????????

I could write an entire book about ideas that animate how American protestants, especially evangelicals, think about their faith but are ahem *loosely* based on the Bible. - The Rapture - Satan being an angel cast out of heaven - Spiritual warfare - Kids lose their faith in college - Tradwives

In this podcast, whistleblower Rachel Beck breaks her silence, alleging harassment by Liberty U's frmr prez & grooming by a top administrator. She also exposes what she calls decades of corruption & cover-up at one of the nation's most prominent Christian universities. julieroys.com/podcast/abus...

I don't believe this guy just wants to protect his community

People I hope get left behind in the rapture tomorrow: - Anyone who told me The Lincoln Lawyer was a good show - Duke Fans - That guy in the student employment office who forgot to process my RA's paperwork - students who lie about using ChatGPT

Liberals and atheists should all stay home tomorrow, or leave work at lunch and never come back -- see if we can trick the conservative evangelicals into thinking the rapture happened w/o them

WHERE do you get a suit like that?!

I have no idea what this context was

Last night I went to a talk at our church by Matt Soerens of World Relief, author of this book about the Christian attitude towards immigration. He’s a good speaker and blended facts with Biblical analysis./1 www.ivpress.com/welcoming-th...

Would be very funny to insist the Rapture happened and then tell all the evangelicals they weren’t following the Gospel closely enough so they were stuck here on this hell earth.

If we were really on our game, the evangelicals wouldn’t hear the end about how they, personally, didn’t get raptured after the raptured happened on this coming Tuesday for, like, the next three weeks

"Do it for Charlie!" 🙂

If I've learned anything about evangelicals & gender it's that what they say and what they do might as well be two different universes

This reminds me of the time my mom texted my sister "of the three of you girls, you're my favorite one to talk to" but accidentally sent it to all of us

This person came to the US legally She was arrested at her final green card appointment "ICE agents have lied and tried to deceive her in an attempt to get her to withdraw her application for permanent residency and voluntarily leave the US." thesestories.substack.com/p/her-commun...

Do they not grasp that Kirk was able to come to campuses because "the left" was open to those debates? Whereas evangelical churches and colleges aren't willing to host an event where progressives make a case for feminism, or CRT, or whatever?

I'm the only candidate in this race who beat a Republican incumbent to get into office, then helped flip an entire chamber to Democrats for the first time in 40 years. Then when we did, we weren't afraid to use our power. We governed like we give a damn.

I went by again and it wasn’t there so I hope that means someone checked it out!

I'm so excited to get student projects written by an AI app that was trained on . . . porn.

Because when Grove City College had Jemar Tisby come and give a talk, they had to spend months assuring students, parents, and donors that they weren't "going woke"

My husband doesn't listen to podcasts and he's pretty much the perfect man. He did say "if Wendell Berry ever starts a podcast I'd listen"

This fall my students do "exit tickets" (a short, easy written question for a tiny grade) at the end of every class. And it's been MAGIC. #teaching #highered #academia #rhetoric

Happy Constitution Day to all who celebrate!

I saw my book in the wild!

I've seen enough -- Talarico for president in 2028! I had to look up whether he's old enough and he is (36). LFG.

"Anyone who says that education leads people away from religion needs to check the actual data." from Ryan Burge today: www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/higher-deg...

Do any #rhetoric folks have ideas about this?

I do not know how to fix it, but I cannot say enough how much we in the news need to figure out how to handle the “flood the zone with shit” strategy.

A new paper by Harvard professor Claudia Goldin found that countries where men take on more of the household labor and child care have higher fertility rates. 19thnews.org/2025/08/fert...

I'm watching episode 2 and it's not getting better. British people aren't supposed to emote this much

January 2025 was a heck of a time to tell Americans to stop drinking
