It’s such bad faith to imply anti-Flock protesters don’t care about crime. Anyone who does should immediately and forever be ignored

can't get over the fact that this man is like "I'm very smart, and it's literally a civil war that I can't get a second date."

The foundational truth of Christianity, as I see it, is not that we are all sinners, but that we are all formed in the imago Dei: You and every person you will ever meet, an actual reflection of God. Imagine a world where people were treated this way.

You do not take healthcare from people because you don't like how they voted. Healthcare is a human right. You do not take food from people because of how they voted. Food is a human right. You do not take human rights from people, ever, for anything.

Hi as a queer trans man who has never left rural areas and spent a third of his life as a political and community organizer in the rural south you do not take food from the mouths of children because of the sins of the parents unless you're a fucking fascist.

There's something so particularly maddening about this kind of thing, when immigration violations are also merely "administrative violations" and they're sadistically punished worse than most violent crimes (because of racism, etc)

Having grown up working class, nothing pisses me off more than when coddled elites like Neera sneer at us and imply we’re too stupid to understand what an oligarch is.

My bff nannied for someone (who was VERY well off) and sent her kid to school in pullups because it was "too hard" but this was a very big outlier thing over a decade ago.

It's Harrison Ford's birthday, which means we are obliged to share this absolute banger from our archives: "No one on the committee can identify who or what instilled Dr. Jones with the belief that an archaeologist’s tool kit should consist solely of a bullwhip and a revolver."

Another killing by ICE, this time in Maine. That’s twice in one week. How can America keep asking immigrant workers to work as usual if they are being shot dead on their way to work? Stop killing us.

Actually want to amplify this further--95% haven't been digitized and even beyond that, archival CATALOGUING is its own patchy horrorshow of varying strategies, standards, and funding levels. To DIGITIZE something you have to FIND IT first!

Anyway… it’s worth remembering that FSSPX claims as “modernist” - - religious liberty - ecumenism - interreligious dialogue - reconciliation with Jews and Muslims These are the pernicious errors they cannot abide. Which says a lot about them.

I hate how incredibly on-brand this is for the WSJ opinion page but it's up there with the "how dare they hold me accountable or say I do bad things" op-eds from other elected officials and the likes of Erdogan & Netanyahu.

hey friends, this isn't an emergency or a life and death thing by any means or even something that matters in the grand scheme,but if you praying folks can pray and everyone else can send me some good vibes, I am really hoping that something that's a sticky thing can potentially have a good outcome

Still thinking about this Slavic Village parish school sports team and what a band mashup of JAMC and the Eagles would sound like.

blessing the timeline with weekend polaroids taken during Gardenwalk this weekend.

This is one of my favorite parts of going to the Liverpool soccer bar to watch games because I love watching dudes spontaneously breaking into song when they're excited or upset.

it's one of those thing that a lot of secular people don't get but uh, Reformed Protestant evangelicals *really* really fucking hate Catholics

One of my best friends listens to a lot of music while he delivers the mail and told me he just discovered this one too.

i interrupted this hotel lobby AI deep house playlist by with hootie "i only wanna be with you" and the whole bar went up. great moments in washed guy history...

I actually found a recipe for these in a 1950s cookbook that someone donated.

some people on a Cleveland group are talking about the big paint company in town and apparently this book for kids exists. digital.hagley.org/PAM_98141

shoutout to the parish in Fairview Park who had this quote on their church sign as of last night.

Came home because my friends were ready to go to sleep and I hear yelling from all over the neighborhood over whatever just happened in this Switzerland / Argentina game.

Had a double date World Cup night in and we all had a great night but have a lot of feelings about how the calls went.

You can bet your ass grift is being exchanged

People on here are acting like you can't get Triptiks anymore and you absolutely can, and a real human will tell you "that highway is dreadful, take this route instead" and also give you lots of great free maps. Also, AAA is really not that expensive!

feeling pressured to use GEN AI? you can use those D.A.R.E. techniques they made us practice

"But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court?"

I drove to Champaign-Urbana from Cleveland with a Triptik and a couple of state maps 2 months ago and only called my boyfriend once when I missed an exit in Chicago and didn't know where to get back on.

Today in "things we find on the microfilm."

Cops are great

a nearby university who really cracked down on students and is facing a lot of civil rights lawsuits also has its own contract with Flock now.

Reddit was also where I also found out that I wasn't alone in having really bad period-related issues after getting the Covid vaccine. I don't regret getting it (I have gotten every booster since) but they weren't even looking for those side effects during the trials, kind of like here.

How do you say, “Well, actually…” in Norwegian?

y'all, I'm just curious if this is an art world thing or if this is a thing elsewhere because it's the first time I've seen "Appalachian" as an ethnicity or is it just a way to report that "you went to an avant-garde cultural event and you didn't come from money."

We used to get "Childless Christians don't know how to be compassionate because family teaches you that!" Now we get, "Childless Christians are too compassionate because they don't have a family to put first!" Either way, childless Christians are the problem.

Rod Dreher actually threw this out there the other day: "I note that neither the Archbishop of Agrigento nor the Bishop of Rome have daughters. For them, migrants are nothing but an opportunity to be compassionate." And I thought, this was the only logical end of that way of thinking.

"rapists should not hold organizational power over others for very obvious reasons" is just basic logistics and yet everybody hates women too much to listen

I genuinely feel like one of the reasons they're losing it over Binface is more than anything, most of the rightysphere in UK media wants to be high-status, and being mocked by count binface running against Farage is a sign that no one actually likes Farage (or by extension, them)

Hey! So, when this fascism burns out & we are cleaning up the debris, please tell me that we aren’t going to just abandon these people? Is it on our collective radar to bring these folks home as a national priority once we are able?

Now that I'm done with eyerolling at fancy UK restaurants named after the region my ancestors came from, I just ordered this through the library and am very glad someone decided to write a book about labor history and the Polish enclave in the greater Wheeling area.

It’s New Foods Day for the Minnesota State Fair and this, to me, is the promise of America www.mnstatefair.org/new/food

There are many evangelicalisms from my childhood that I have long rejected, but one of my father’s favorites was “I pray that your talents never take you where your character cannot keep you” And man, if the value of that hasn’t been on full display in our politics over the last decade…

This is a little like Spuds McKenzie thanking a struggling alcoholic for pounding so much Buds.

In the world of things that truly do not matter and has no moral right or wrong, I am realizing I have dog opinions that involve really not liking labradoodles that I have to check myself with when I'm in social situations.
