A friend found this at Aldi in St Paul. Every day we draw further from the light.

Your reminder that John Cena holds the record for granting the most wishes for the Make-a-Wish Foundation by a considerable margin.

ANOTHER MINGO ACCOUNT OPENED STEPHEN ANNOR GYAMFI WITH THE BRILLIANT TURN AND STRIKE AND ITS 2-1 FOR THE GOOD GUYS

Imagine you work your fingers to the bone as a ballboy and some idiot comes along and undoes all your hard work. Fuming.

stop me if you've heard this one before: Loons set piece goal

How is it that we can get to two weeks before the USL season starts and South Georgia Tormenta only just now says, oops, we don't have money to operate this year. Forward Madison loses their July 4 home game thanks to this - I'm sure ownership is delighted to lose a sellout.

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Repost with one or more current reads.

Any man's death diminishes me, Because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain. A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones. The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

I've gotten to the point of my ministry career where I just want to say: if you don't believe God wants us to exist in the future, that God will bring the Church into the future, then get out of my way ⚓

Happy 15th anniversary of the peak achievement of literary criticism, to all who celebrate

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

A cat peed in my flip flop. Fair summary of how the morning's going.

If the priest kid loses his gorilla, where should I put it so that the priest is guaranteed to see it 🕯

Worried about not being able to retire? Bear in mind that AI will transform the economy in previously unconsidered ways, like killer robots who will hunt down and murder destitute retirees.

Yikes.

This is art.

I buried my former senior warden, age 80, on Saturday. Last night, her husband of 59 years, aged 85, died somewhat unexpectedly, just 12 days after his wife. This pastoral gig is not for the fainthearted.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

Just did my duty. The idea of using AI for any ministry task is a beyond-the-pale non-starter for me.

Couple days with a cold kept me out of the gym, but I got back there today. It's hard to be sad when you're lifting a barbell. These escapes will become more necessary, not less, I fear.

I have not lost my mind over an Everton goal the way I did over Tarkowski's winner yesterday in a long time. Imagine not liking football.

Yeah the world's on fire but Everton leads in the Merseyside Derby

The Facebook groups roasting our public schools really are a bit much. Signed, a teacher spouse

Ah yes, my favorite film. Winter in Wisconsin: Or, Should We Cancel This Church Event for Snow

“ If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide.” - Abraham Lincoln, 1838

Taize Prayer tonight. Not sure we have enough candles

I literally flinched when I turned the volume up.

After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers. Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.

Ending PEPFAR or exiling migrants to an extralegal camp or defunding refugee services or attacking trans people simply will not feed or shelter my child. There's no relation, except a very possible negative effect on even those closest to me who aren't directly targeted by the terror.

As wrong as Vance is about a correct Christian interpretation of ordering one's loves, it also misframes the issue, which isn't a dilemma of who to prioritize in one's love: it's about whether to be complicit in terrorizing millions of strangers for no coherent reason except for bigoted lies.

Straight-up Orwellian.

if there's an injunction then why is eloccs still down...sigh

The pause on federal grants is disastrous for homeless shelters like ours, food pantries, mobile meal delivery services, and a host of other organizations serving the most vulnerable.
