Oh boy free throws! My favorite part of basketball.

Who enjoys this. This is like when NASCAR hit all time popularity and then took a nosedive because of rule changes and eternal races.

Play miles plumlee you cowards.

Maybe its just that my most indelible NBA memory was Bulls Jazz 97-98 where men where men

Never seen an OKC game and haven't watched the NBA in years until tonight and I hate OKC already.

Trump has only fired women

No matter how many times I try, I never stumble across any rothkos at the garage sales

It’s true. This was evident in the recent loss by Massie. The next day I flipped on right wing talk radio and the guy was celebrating the Boomer turnout, while knocking the younger gen who follow their crazy podcasters and have nose rings. Far right Twitter is the polar opposite.

The Boomer / Millennial evangelical divorce is coming upon us quickly. It will center around Israel and money

Hello everybody, it's me Ben. I love the beach. I am not hacked by Russia. Go Beach. And when you are done with beach, drive to Charlotte and enjoy the best barbecue in North Carolina in Charlotte North Carolina.

My parents didn’t wrap my gifts or get me Apple stock. You ain’t made for this life.

If your parents had just taken the money they spent on wrapping paper and greeting cards for you for special events. Since you've been born and dollar cost averaged into Apple stock, you'd be a millionaire

Data centers could save tons of $$ by hiring middle aged dads who turn off all the lights and turn off the AC

I am adopting a token limit for people interacting with me. I am sorry you have used all your tokens. Venmo me $10 for more

Charlotte North Carolina is like what if you took Atlanta but took away all the good food and all the fun stuff to do and all the public transportation

I don't think anybody on the planet could accurately define what the word conservative means anymore

100 years apart The manmade lake gone. Pool now filled. Billions disappears quickly.

It seems appropriate that we need to start our nation’s repentance with our greed. As @jemartisby.bsky.social said, “a lot of people like to say that slavery was America’s original sin. It might be more accurate to say that slavery was America’s original symptom, and its original sin was greed.”

Talking generically about * family values* helps Pseudo-christian leaders avoid talking directly about only fans, draftkings, poly market, and the stock market.

For some reason I never get invited to pray for repentance at these national events... open.substack.com/pub/benmarsh...

From what I can tell, the 'repentance' being called for today is for not being a Republican.

I was going to vote blue in November, but then Christopher Nolan cast a Kenyan woman as a Greek woman in a movie.

I'm not watching any Christopher Nolan movies anymore because I still don't understand tenet.

The most deeply religious people I have ever met in my entire life Who most clearly exhibit the work of God Are black women in their '60s who have been direct Care professionals for 40 years. Their lives are whole sermons.

There was a woman in a cupcake outfit handing out cupcakes. Just hundreds of cupcakes everywhere.

The worst part of Bluesky is when I post something good about the church and somebody just has to dip in - in the middle of a post about a free event for people with special needs. - and tell everybody that God is dead. But it's better than Twitter death threats.

It's totally free. No corporate sponsorships. One church

I forgot to mention that I am one of two white people here. White evangelicals are going to be stunned to find out that God will not need them to do His work. If only they would wash feet instead of trying to wear the crown!

This is just the volunteers. !

Already has podcast, canon+ content, pipe, and skinny forearms. Theobro confirmed.

I'm here at the differently abled fun fair in Greenville NC and listen this is the church being the church yall. Huge event for free for people with special needs. Dancing. Inflatables. Quiet room. Tactiles. Movie room. Gentle massage. Just incredible. 400+ volunteers. Just a massive party.

What's gonna be the OK Boomer for millennials? The casual dismissal of our entire existence Whatever Millennial Go out on skinny jeans Link in bio Go off Disney adult

Ben mentioning the decline of sola scriptura, the diminishing of the Reformation, and its replacement by the neo-nomianism of the American (false) gospel. My cold, little Reformation-tradition heart:

The Democrats won't release the Autopsy because it would reveal that Han shot first and Wokeness won't allow that.

1/ New Episode: @wearenotenemies.bsky.social and Bon talk Ellul, propaganda, how the Iran war is effecting people on the ground, the K shaped economy, why Kevin de Young went full Wilson, pastors show their true colors, Mammon-shaped Evangelicalism, and the money that funds Christian Nationalism.

“A God without wrath brought men without sin into a kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a cross.” - H Richard Niebuhr (The Kingdom of God in America, 1937)

Menno Simons wrote prior to his death in 1561 "....it is the good pleasure to give you the kingdom not the perishing kingdom of Assyria, Media, Macedonia, nor Rome but the kingdom of the saints, the kingdom of the great King....the kingdom of grace and eternal peace, which shall never perish,.."

🤣🤣🤣

We endure a season of post-Christ Christianity.

this man LOVES the bunny

I'll be there* at 3:30 (as long as 3:30 is really inconvenient for you and you had to rearrange something to agree to meet then). *And obviously by "be there" I mean ghost you.

Cruises are just recreating the college dorm experience on the ocean. Wanton drunkenness Questionable live music Terrible card playing Awful dancing Cafeteria buffet

For all of you who sell stuff on Facebook marketplace, I just want to say something special to you: Hi, is this available?

Ice cream for bears is legit!!

Dune 2 : mother's Day :: Die hard : Christmas

Dune 2 is the best Mother's Day movie

The platform that Robert Jeffress uses to boost the rapist President Donald Trump was made possible by the rapist Judge Paul Pressler. Perhaps we should start calling him a theologian of rape culture.

If the Puritans and Baptists had known that the worship of the golden idol of a philandering casino owning Playboy was the apotheosis of their spiritual inheritors, They would have stayed and accepted martyrdom.

I had to write about it.... to many are preparing to celebrate death itself, which is a sickness. benmarsh.substack.com/p/the-actual...

there is a world in which our real common enemy - death - is made the object of our wrath instead of one another. It is not this world, but I wish that it was, because death and its attending demons (in this case, addiction and despair) affect all of us.
