“Midwest emo” Still so excited about this

It’s better if YOU cook, bro.

There are a few passages in the Bible that I consider as litmus tests for whether a preacher knows how to properly handle the text. A big one is the first half of John 15 where Jesus likens himself to a vine and his disciples as branches. There’s nothing for us to do in that text but receive.

Y’all don’t know how great this is coming from Vivi

I don’t really like being mean but… does Josh Howerton know how to read?

When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.

Mackinac!

The kids are alright

There are so many things I loved about this movie. It was so good, it was so good. Bradley Cooper was a perfect Face, Sharlto Copley a perfect HM Murdoch. The use of Steely Dan!

Fascinating live thread of a US Attorney verbally sweating as his excuses are slowly and methodically unraveled by a federal judge too savvy to believe anything other than they were using AI to fabricate pretty much an entire brief on behalf of the DOJ in an attempt to deceive the court

*chef’s kiss*

This reminded me that I should stock up on some celebratory fireworks. The poor dog will hate me but it’s for a good cause.

one thing you realize when you hear the doge bros talk is that they are very, very dumb. like need to be reminded to breathe. also most of them were working at spacex/tesla/twitter or in investment banking before this so, uh, what’s that say about all those places

*Polish heritage intensifies*

All part of the grif… I mean, grind

“Don’t ever be the first to stop applauding.” -- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, writing about the unfortunate director of the local paper factory mannerofspeaking.org/2010/05/12/s...

In the Bible we find Satan twisting God’s word in the Garden in Genesis ch3 saying “Has God really said?” and again in the Gospel According to Matthew ch4 when he quotes scripture to Jesus. This is like that. It is evil. “Love you enemies, and do good, and lend expecting nothing in return” - Jesus

As someone who loves the Bible, I am deeply offended by this perverse appropriation of the Scriptures to support brutal war-mongering.

But would could not afford $8 billion in *annual* foreign aid that assisted the poor and helped advance US soft power? Burned through almost that much in just a few days, killing hundreds.... for what, exactly? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Stop analysing how a pigeon plays chess. Stop it now.

“People are just in charge of things” episode 1,478,962

I might need to rewatch The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” today for the sixth (?) time.

This is how I access Bluesky

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." - President Dwight D. Eisenhower

Having a Middle East war global recession while also having a capricious tariff global recession while also having an AI bubble global recession is not going to be a good time.

This part

This was taken in Gibraltar, Michigan, looking across to Amherstburg, ON. The Detroit River is wider here than by the city of Detroit, but as you'll note, we share spaces with our neighbors in ways other states don't quite get.

My lovely wife, who is not from Michigan, just saw the beginning of Tom Izzo’s postgame presser and described him as a combo between Brian Kelly and Ryan Day and it may be the most devastating burn possible.

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

HOOK IT TO MY VEEEIIINNNNNNS!

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

It’s been an extremely trying weekend but this is some of the schadenfreude I need to sustain me

Easy to enjoy Spartan-freude for us here at home, but shoutout to this guy whose quiet moment of enjoying Izzo-failure was caught on national TV.

Canceling or federalizing elections is not a thing that there's any provision for in the US, and I would like it if supposed experts on fascism would stop talking about imaginary systems that only exist in other countries, and start talking about the system we actually have in the US.

It was pointed out to me recently that the passage in the Gospel according to John chapter 4 about Jesus meeting a Samaritan woman at a well is immediately preceded by John the baptizer in chapter 3 talking about his excitement as the friend of the bridegroom (Jesus) meeting his bride.

People who love war are sociopaths.

Fox viewers still have no idea Trump wore campaign merch

Schadenfreude is such a great thing sometimes

“He gotta know how to dress” No he don’t… You looking for someone that spends their free time fantasizing about chivalry and saving the day That’s the one that’s gonna pay off a mortgage

Get you a man who’s serious about his orks

Getting you one of them nerds is like going to the used car auction You gotta know what to look for

But if you can keep him clean and keep his crunchyroll account paid up… you might have yourself a solid piece of work

Fun thing to think about very briefly: who currently has better lawyers, the United States or Nintendo

It’s Red Panda!!

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

Was “kinetic” on somebody’s word of the day app 6 months ago?

Got a call within 30 minutes of posting this that may be a positive resolution to the biggest stressor.
