AND POLLUTED OUR CITY WITH TOXIC SLUDGE UNRELATED TO THAT WHICH THEY SERVE AT THE EXCALIBUR BUFFET

It gets better (worse) www.inc.com/sam-blum/elo... futurism.com/advanced-tra...

do you want "Catholicism but american" we invented that, it's called Episcopalianism and it's even more woke. all the priests are lesbians. good luck

I cannot stress this enough: Vegas gave Musk millions to build us a supposed public transportation system. Instead he built basically an Uber tunnel for Teslas that only goes FROM ONE END OF A CONVENTION CENTER TO THE OTHER. Literally just gets you to the other side of a building.

Hello. I just found out that a death metal band has covered John Cage’s 4’33”, and now I need you lot to know that a death metal band has covered John Cage’s 4’33”. youtu.be/voqCQSDAcn8

There is no McTry.

Come on then, and remove him.

I've had my current YouTube account for about 20 years now and only have a handful of videos favorited, most of them also from about 20 years ago

This is not to say we shouldn't invoke the 25th amendment or that there aren't signs of Trump in decline, but when people say things like "Trump sounds like he has dementia..." has he not always sounded like this? I feel like he's always sounded like this.

Help me settle a debate: 1. Could K-Pop Demon Hunters be considered a horror movie? 2. Is Twilight a horror movie?

Been reading some pop literature

Yep! Basically these scores can't be equated to grade level; non-native English speakers were included in the sample; and the original source has retracted the claim.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

and then they have a long sad conversation about whether it's time to leave. Can the kids really thrive here? It is their country but this shit just isn't stopping and they're not political people. She has a cousin in Damascus who seems to be doing OK, and would take them in until they got set up.

*incredibly* humourless 'I researched this for a novel once': yes, she would go "well they're doing that a lot. They crucified a thousand people on a single day last year. That's what they do, they crucify a bunch of people. Poor Josh. He was kind of an intense guy but he didn't deserve that."

Baby has started getting distracted while breastfeeding and VIOLENTLY breaking her latch so, well...idk we made it 7 months and im proud of that but might be time to switch to formula, kid

A certain variety of the Internet Left will complain about non-violent protests doing nothing and having no follow-up, but will also worship Mangioni. And like, what did that accomplish? What is the follow-up? One CEO is dead, and one guy is in prison. Nothing else has changed.

In times like these, we all could use a Public Universal Friend Seriously, you are not prepared for P.U.F. Happy Trans Day of Visibility! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_...

My baby got baptized today!

Skipping all the protests this weekend to instead sit at home and tell people on the internet, "You know protests dont work, right???" I am very radical.

The "wine mom" thing is a rhetorical cudgel used to reinforce patriarchy and delegitimize groups of women making a difference in their communities.

Inside you

"saints who are sick of the baby jesus" is one of my favourite sub-genres in art, the absolute star of which is St Christopher, who is being bullied by the Christ-Child at all times (the story is he is trying to cross a river and the holy infant gets heavier and heavier) king of beefing with a baby

We don't have to submit. I've said a long time that inevitability is the first lie of fascism. Think about that when AI boosters say there's no choice. There is. There always is.

A question you have to ask yourself if you’re going to approach politics as a responsible adult is whether your goal is to improve material conditions and achieve changes that reduce human suffering, or whether it is to look really cool in front of your friends online.These are not compatible aims.

It’s not the biggest problem but one real reason why no left-liberal popular front has emerged in America is because of a loud and highly visible cohort of not-that-young-anymore leftist edgelords who refuse to be in coalition with their moms.

My baby is getting baptized this weekend!!!

Im a pastor in the United Methodist Church and we recently had a "schism" over LGBTQ ordination. Thing is, in 2019, the "traditionalists" (anti-lgbt) folks won the argument, votes wise, at a special conference. They even won the right to viciously persecute anyone who broke the rules...1/

My spouse and I both had grammerly on work computers, and we are both good writers and hated the grammerly suggestions. It was always like, "hey want your writing to be less distinctive and more boring?"

"Golf uses more water than AI. Should we get rid of golf too??" Don't threaten me with a good time 🤣

Nothing wrong with finding God in the forests and the mountains. But that’s Easy Mode. God’s presence there is supposed to sustain and strengthen us for the hard part (seeing the face of God in another person)

Sometimes I’ll see a New Age clip that’s like, “Unlike Christianity, I believe God is in nature.” And listen, fair enough! But also as a Christian I believe water can remove sins, salt can drive away demons, oil can heal and bread and wine can become God. Not exactly rejecting physicality here!

For the record, the Nazis are spreading terms like “zio” and “zog” into leftist spaces intentionally as an on-ramp to fascism. This is what cryptofascism means. They explicitly talk about doing this on their forums and telegram channels. You’re being played.

Anyway my baby is going through sleep regression so I'm up at 3am using bluesky to complain about Facebook takes, but she's cute

I want to believe reasonable people can disagree on AI use, but why do people get SO much pushback when trying to address the real *and horrific* problems with these products?? Why are you going to bat this hard for a glorified Clippy from the 90s Microsoft Office man?

Every time I see that Pete Hegseth quote about raining death and destruction, my brain goes right to Luke 9

just a thought: no movement should ever depend so completely on the reputation of its chosen figurehead that one of its founders is forced to make a calculation like this on behalf of its survival

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos

Creativity is not a talent. It's a process and a practice available to everyone.

Death of the Artist has nothing to do with whether or not you buy art from someone bad? It's a tool of analysis? You gotta figure out where your own lines are when it comes to that stuff but that's not what Death of the Artist is?

Gonna ask the youth group kids today what "chopped" means

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

megachurch model busted. cool pastor model broken. it is time to rediscover the divine ecstasy of manifesting stigmata while preaching to woodland creatures during a 40 day fast reduces you to a flame-faced feral oneness with God.

My mom: "I just discovered this cute show. It's called One Piece."

I saw a comment the said we aren’t “angry enough.” But all we are is angry. Our veins circulate it like acid. It cracks our sternums. It poisons and paralyzes us. We hiss and spit at each other, all impotent, helpless rage. We don’t need more anger. We need more direction.

So a fun thing I’ve been finding out this week is how much long term care facilities rely on free assistance from the church.

John Brown didn’t give up on Kansas & I’ll be damned if I ever do.

solidarity with all marginalized people in Kansas. you are not alone. together we are going to build the better world we all deserve.

In Vegas we've been following the story of a sick toucan who's been seen flying around town and it looks like they found the toucan and are taking care of him!
