Praise-God Barebones (1596-1679) - Find a Grave...
A 'Fifth Monarchy' man, Barebones was admitted freeman of the Leathersellers Company in January 1623. About the same time he became Minister to a congregation which met at his house in Fleet Street, where his preaching attracted large audiences.

It sucks that our entertainment dollars are going to dickwad billionaires but if there were to be a bright side, it would be that people ditching billionaire dickwad services could *in theory* plow that money into independent creators, thus ushering in a hypothetical golden age of some kind

One of the slightly insane things about the official American narratives of history and politics is that "everyone agrees" that segregation was an abomination and the dominant political force in the South for a century, but you're not allowed to suggest that it has any remaining influence today.

For the many Platner fans here, Peters is a white supremacist, Holocast denying / antisemetic, virulently anti-trans anti-gay right-wing influencer. There's no lack of people making similar points that Platner could be reading and promoting who are not nazis.

There's something kind of Millerite about the collective belief among the political commentariat in a magical, transformative Trump speech that will unify the country and silence his critics. We're twelve years into this and he's never come close, but they always talk like the next one could be it

If you're in Chicago and you need a dentist I highly recommend Chicago Dental 312! I had an old silver filling drilled out today; Dr. Momin did amazing work and it went VERY smoothly. Plus he was a Master Chef competitor and has recipes posted on his wall, so you can put your chompers to good use!

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across. If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers. If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.
