When asked if there were limits to his power, Trump replied: “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

As a 25+ year developer, I've had mixed feelings, and mixed results, with AI tooling. But regardless, we are reaching the Ikea phase of software development. This article gives a hopeful yet sober perspective.

People need to shut up and take what we give them.

Evangelicalism taught me that I needed to be willing to die for Jesus. It also taught me that I should completely ignore his teachings any time they conflicted with conservative values, or aligned with liberal politics.

I believe both an eternal hell and utter annihilation are false and incompatible with the existence of any God worthy of our worship. But ICE and MAGA are testing my convictions lately. God *damn* ICE

I grew up in the '80s, when there was a very real and constant fear of war between NATO and the USSR. I never could have envisioned a day when there was a non-zero chance of a war between NATO and the US!

Did the British government learn nothing from the last time they tried appeasement?

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

Starmer asked to respond to Trump breaking international law and seizing the leader of another sovereign nation replies that it is his "responsibility" to have a good relationship with the US President. "I have stepped up that responsibility [and] I do get on with President Trump," he tells the BBC

Any Christianity that needs defending isn't a Christianity worth believing.

When Isaiah imagined the Messiah he thought of someone who looked past labels and common misconceptions. Someone who made fair assessments with special consideration for those in need and those who are suffering. Every Jesus follower should strive to do the same.

America putting most of its eggs in the generative AI basket, China going hard into green tech. When history looks back on this period, someone is going to look awfully stupid.

How mad is Stephen Miller right now 😂

I identify as a progressive Christian—mostly to stand in solidarity with others who have experienced harm in conservative Christian spheres. But my loyalty isn’t to the left of center, it’s to Christ who is above all the labels. If you’re conservative and kind, we can be friends.

Somewhere out there someone who’s the best at what they do is terrified that they have imposter syndrome while a bunch of barely literate pedophiles are very calmly running the world

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it. Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators. Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

I'm super thankful that I get to work from home most of the time. But at least when I have to go into the office, I'm rewarded with history and beautiful views.

They Tell Us To Fear Muslims While The US Empire Terrorizes The World The empire we live under is everything we’re trained to fear. Our own rulers are the murderers. Our own rulers are the terrorists. Our own rulers are the tyrants. Our rulers are the problem. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/they-tell-...

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

To all the parents who brought us up in Christian spaces… Y’all taught us this.

So to be sure I understand the MAGA position on this: •Saying Happy Holidays = War on Christmas •No teacher led prayer in public schools = War on Jesus •No 10 Commandments on Courthouse = War on Christianity •Shooting Christian Pastor in the head = Not Crossing The Line Got it.

The government shutdown is in its 4th day and Donald Trump just arrived at his golf course.

"Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don’t know. But the most telling detail in Klein’s column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself." Ta-Nehisi Coates, with receipts.

On the one hand, Talarico (a Presbyterian seminarian) using a religious framing as part of his Senate campaign announcement isn't that surprising (see next skeet). On the other hand, this is some *like whoa* religious left messaging here, and may well have some real traction in Texas in particular.
