A lovely evening in Berlin

I’ve never seen the wind. I’ve seen the effects of the wind, but I’ve never seen the wind.

When there’s a gold rush, sell shovels. When there’s a mad king spreading rumors of a war in Portland, sell frog costumes.

As an evangelical Christian I can say: Thiel’s whole shtick about Antichrist stuff is utterly theologically incomprehensible. It’s just the same old spiritual abuse thing of powerful people using baptized vocabulary to instill fear and control people. Be free of *Left Behind* nonsense, beloved.

I made these einkorn-red wheat biscuits with my sourdough discard this morning. They turned out great!

Gorgeous fall this year. #autumn #bloomscrolling

I’ve watched this too many times

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

This is why I think getting gas at king Soopers/kroger is cheaper than Costco… if you game it right 😏

I wonder if it’s just a coincidence that they also happened to give Trump a $400K jet before this

Buena Vista, Limon, Arvada, the Poudre, Cañon City, Ouray, Berthoud, Lyons, Louisville… Like fully half of the place names in Colorado are shibboleths that are immediate giveaways if you’re not from ‘round here. 😂 heck, even the word “Colorado” itself

Have made real, in person friends through various channels over the years!

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square. Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files. Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

If we get rid of antifa, then we’ll finally only have just fa

Wanna learn more about the pastor in this photo? I talked to him yesterday. He's currently part of a lawsuit against DHS, in part due to this exact moment: religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

Shot a priest in the head with a pepper ball, just for fun. There was absolutely no threat here.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Jess Waters recycling the same guy over and over to represent “former” different enemies

My review of “Why Christians Should Be Leftists”

“Woah” is to “Noah” as “Wario” is to “Mario”

Texas proudly invading Illinois. It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

Last I checked, Congress makes the laws, not the White House.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

A Christmas Carol, but instead of Scrooge visiting Tiny Tim, the ghost of the present takes traditional, moderately committed conservatives to see actual ICE raids in Chicago.

This is not ok. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

👏🤣

This is gross. If you think that responding to a tragedy with “thoughts and prayers” is insufficient, surely responding with mockery is even worse. You don’t have to be LDS or even religious to be compassionate towards this LDS church and the collective grief of its people.

Autocracy. Is. Not. American.

When fall comes to Colorado #bloomscrolling #kinda #colorado

My corn was kind of a fail this year for the most part, but at least it’s vibrant

Good. More of this. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/n...

I remember as a kid, there was this boy who kept jump scaring this other girl. She hated it and she’d scream every time, and then he’d laugh. He thought it was funny when she screamed, so every time she did it rewarded his behavior. Hegseth is doing this for the same reason. 🧵

Our government. is firing. on purpose. at the press.

…and 2025 is now in the secondary fermenter!

My wine labels came in 😁

When fall comes to Colorado

GOOD READ: KOA Radio's Ross Kaminsky offers a defense of free speech and a call for conservatives/MAGA with influence push back on the Trump administration (as Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, others did re: Kimmel)

That doesn’t look too crime-ridden to me

It’s even less hard to automatically mute unknown numbers and then call back if/when they leave a voicemail/text

Acetaminophen is one thing, but they really should look into dihydrogen monoxide. It’s in EVERYTHING these days, can cause suffocation, and can even corrode iron! It’s way more dangerous than seed oils, causing more than a million deaths per year.

Apropos for Rapture Day

I don’t believe Tylenol causes autism, but I do believe it causes people to stop thinking about the Epstein Files

The whole rapture thing today is hitting me in an unexpectedly reflective way. I remember back to the time when my whole faith—whole life—was oriented around it. A very fear-driven life. Anxiety and panic when I’d enter a room and my family wasn’t there. Was I left behind?

So just to clarify, that’s the place Nate Silver wants everyone on Bluesky to go back to?

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.
