THE HARROWING OF HELL HAS BEGUN! THE BUFFALO SABRES ARE FINALLY, OFFICIALLY, BACK IN THE PLAYOFFS!

Jesus' military chaplaincy consisted in being killed by soldiers and praying in their hearing, "forgive them, they don't know what they're doing."

I expected ctrl-v to produce a link to a nice dresser on fb marketplace, but it gave me the complete lyrics to No Sleep Till Brooklyn instead.

Now *that's* a movie that could save Hollywood

Walked out of the school and down the street to a house with a secret room that was a frequent last stop on the Underground Railroad before Canada. We also stopped by Niagara Falls a time or two, nbd. (Buffalo is the best.)

Brittany Howard should perform at all the awards ceremonies

We spoke to Black women who started the Target boycott & who sustained it for a yr+. They'll likely never go back. Teacher Laverne Mickens put it like this: “[Black women] will say if & when it’s over. And I can tell you right now: That will be the 15th of never ever.” 19thnews.org/2026/03/targ...

Why am I soft in the middle? The rest of my life is so hard.

This sounds like somebody who grew up rich trying to imagine what poor people sound like. We know how cash money works FAR BETTER than you do. You might know systems like stocks & IRAs & bonds & trust funds, but we do know cash money. We know SNAP doesn’t buy EVERYTHING at the grocery store.

Getting really sick of this shit.

There is an eastern fox squirrel nest in the tree right next to the great blue heron rookery, and it’s all just the greatest.

holy shit

The 2025-26 Buffalo Sabres are the greatest team in the history of sports

USAID managed funding of 35.4bn in 2024

The lack of extensive, limiting nuance in such passages in scripture is part of the scripture.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam spent 10 years in refugee camps before receiving his legal approval to join our community. He was here only weeks before police and immigration agents started to abuse him, which continued until he died. Vetted fundraiser for the family www.gofundme.com/f/standing-w...

Starlings, blue jays, mourning doves, cardinals, white-throated sparrows, a song sparrow, eastern towhee, robins, juncos, and loads of grackles strutting all over the place. A bird feeder is a good lens onto the world.

no words

This is really good. Both at precisely naming many of the problems with the usa men’s hockey team this week, and at conveying honest responses to those issues from women professionally enmeshed in hockey (including men’s). Lots of nodding along to the first, and a clarifying listen with the second.

Firefox ai updates rolling out now. Easiest settings choice ever (and glad it is so easy to make this choice).

Sen. Marsha Blackburn just now.

Pray for God’s mercy, however thunderously it may arrive.

If you threaten to kill one person that’s a TOS violation. If you threaten to kill a million people that’s discourse.

The first US men’s hockey gold of my lifetime and I couldn’t even enjoy it with this utterly unlikable team. Kash Patel showing up in the locker room was just the unsurprising period at the end of that sentence.

“ I cAnNoT iMaGiNe HoW tO rAiSe A hUmAn bAbY WiThOuT ai”

This has good words for coming alongside something with a chronic illness. Much of this will be intuitive for those shaped by regular acts of love, but it has at least some good reminders for anyone.

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

Maple syrup: curling Jam: cross country skiing Jam (from a donut): hockey Powdered sugar: short track Powdered sugar (actually drugs): ski jump Lemon: ski ballet Lasers: luge “I have pancakes in my pockets right now!”: snowboard cross

Many fairly ordinary Christians of moderate means give away a share of their wealth every week proportional to what Elon has given away over his entire lifetime.

“But Dad, I just want to watch curling!!” The 5yr old found my bedtime kryptonite.

Every good sermon should have a moment when the hearers ask, “where are they going with this?”

Isabella Wranå won gold for curling, but should've for this video

I can't imagine a less interesting thing to turn the olympics into than a battleground for copyright law.

Four hours to crack my hometown lake in two

The thing about the super bowl is, it’s no early morning round robin mixed doubles curling match available on replay.

fao @drempel.bsky.social, who has written about these same issues

I love the Niagara Falls anytime, but the beauty of that place covered in ice will make you believe the world is greater than you knew. www.reuters.com/pictures/fro...

Just got hit with a bbc news paywall for the first time, and I am shook.

Had been carrying a sermon illustration in search of the right sermon for a couple of years now and finally got to use it today. That’s a good feeling as a preacher when one of those lands well.

<stern faced, grizzled captain sitting behind his desk> “I’m going to need your barbecue fork, your pizza cutter, and your badge.”

So, did Brennan Lee Mulligan time travel to the future or did Jason Isbell time travel into the past? And who has been sent to kill whom?

Minneapolis has seen a stunning 1,646% spike in calls from families who can't pay rent because they're afraid to leave their homes to work. This is state violence manufacturing housing precarity in real time. People should not be facing eviction when their city is under occupation.

Children don’t see “love your neighbor as yourself“ as politics but as an obvious good. The hardest thing about growing up is learning there is an opposing side to this. Fred Rogers prepared children for the moments that growth is needed. (and rejected entertainment as framing purpose of his show)

Honestly it’s still wild that the conquering son of David and the suffering servant of the least are the same guy.

And people might think it's just "activists" or whatever trying stir shit up - NO, it is absolutely not. An older relative told us they went to the doctor for chest pain because they couldn't stop sobbing after seeing a news story about that older Hmong man being illegally taken from his house

“Just as you did not do to the least of these, you did not do it to me.”
