From the outside US evangelicalism is a very puzzling religious group because ostensibly they are very concerned with the moral teachings of a publicly accessible text but also they seem to have inferred completely the opposite lessons from that text than what everyone else thinks is the plain read.

Unreal. Both the Democratic "Moderate Party" candidates quoted here lost by 8 points while the most important city in the country, one county over, elected a Muslim socialist immigrant for mayor

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

Rise from your hovel and present the aspect of war playboy

It should be legal to bow-hunt these people for sport.

i still don’t think i’ve seen even close to a single piece of evidence that zohran mamdani is antisemitic beyond him believing children in palestine shouldn’t be killed by israel

The most corrupt administration in American history.

neurodivergent lifehack: generate all the good brain chemicals you need by tricking your body into thinking you're on fire

No one has yet given a satisfactory answer to how ICE continues to operate in a 'shut down', given that, far from being essential workers, they are unneeded by anyone at any time

every day you bitches test me

My 8yo niece after I was talking about how Chicagoans are protecting our neighbors because the president wants to hurt them "this makes sense because Donald Trump is a (*whispers*) B. I. T. C. H."

oct 7 was like 9/11 part ii for many american jews who subsequently decided that opposition to israel’s retaliation against the palestinian people as a whole was opposition to them personally living and breathing and that therefore meir kahane was right and the mamdani reaction shows how bad it is

Hm?

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.

I’d really prefer reincarnation, with or without a way escape that cycle, be the reality of the afterlife. I just have no reason to believe that is or isn’t the case. The null hypothesis of “you just die” is still winning, but only on a technicality as there’s always going to be no evidence.

this is what they took from us

The ACLU petition still hasn't reached it's signature goal? WHAT? That needs to change now. 200k signatures is nothing, let's GET IT. AT LEAST! action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

i need those journalists that skinned that japanese robot to check on something for me

Cholita wrestling. It's impressive, hilarious, fun.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT Hiding replies without my consent is *dangerous to me* I use the mute function extremely carefully for a reason I need to know if people are being violent at me so I can take action to protect myself I need to be able to choose for myself who hidden @pfrazee.com

twitter hiding replies from me is how my stalker was able to reply to me for months talking about raping me and cutting me into pieces without my knowledge. he was violating my protection order and i didn’t even know it. it kept him out of jail.

did you know the Mountain Goats have a new album out today and you can buy it or stream it and dance to it in your living room or while driving or on the subway and it's a whole vibe? well now you know that 30tgrs.ffm.to/ttfafpb

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks. I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

hey guys isn't it weird how they're all saying this at the same time? ignore the fact that this is now happening with Tyler Cowen, an economist who sits at the center of a sprawling system of think tanks and policy "influencers" who have been laundered into DC with both Koch and SV VC money

"As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it."

i'm over here stroking my ego i got lotion on my ego right now. i'm just stroking my ich i'm narcissistic as fuck man i'm an arrogant freak man like for real.

he is just not into you buddy

Every once in a while I have to remind myself this is entirely normal.

I know this is pedantic, but Kim Davis was not "jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses." She was jailed for contempt of court because she refused to follow a court order (she had stopped issuing all marriage licenses). NYT makes it sound like the Woke Police broke down her door.

If I was writing a popular history this would be my pivot moment I think.

The neighborhoods won by Sliwa sound like Stardew Valley locations.

Those cheering on the massive job cuts in the public service need to realise that those displaced workers will be competing for the limited number of available private sector positions. This increased competition will result in lower wages for everyone.

consumer spending sentiment is at the lowest since both 2008 and 2020. did something bad happen in both those periods

here's me gettin tallboys and a bag of nuts

I’m much more of a sit down really

goblins

lol. lmao.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

one of the (many) toxic dynamics in DC is the way Hill and agency staffers are constantly in close social and professional contact with lobbyists and lawyers who make 4x what they do, and the lifestyle inflation and status anxiety and career-exit paths that gap creates

Also, Housing Theory of Everything plays a big role here. It's one thing to ask electeds and staff to accept some austerity in their ability to purchase consumer goods, but low salaries often just mean they can't afford to live in DC or the places they represent without being independently wealthy.

Pilot just came on to say it’s his last flight ever and he’s retiring. Come on man don’t say that to me. Don’t tell me that right now.

I have a Wokeness level of 3.6

Abolish. Fire. Prosecute. This is the *moderate* position, by the way.
