I drive on the Arlington Memorial Bridge every Sunday to go to church. This is going to completely mess up the traffic pattern there. It also has limited pedestrian access so it will become one of the least visited monuments if it ever actually gets built.

Megan Basham? The 2024 winner of the St. Boniface award from Doug Wilson?

A man telling a young woman to eat a little shit and listen to Hasan Piker and vote for Graham Platner.

The enemy (economic forces) are conducting counter mobility operations against me (moving to a remote rural town for a career making job) to deny access to allied forces (friends and a dating pool)

My prime time White House speech denying ties to notorious pedophile has people asking questions already answered by my White House speech

Again, why is the head of economics for the Trump administration on TV talking about the war? These people don't actually do their job.

A century ago Rod Dreher would have been considered a race traitor for siding with Magyars and Muscovite Slavs over the interests of Western Europe and the United States.

A commenter notes that "Trump managed to be both Hitler and Chamberlain in the same negotiation. An unprecedented feat." 😭

So there are two options here. 1) Vance doesn’t actually believe this 2) Vance is telling his own children they are taking the place of white kids and that is bad

Well now I want a D&D campaign where a party of lawyers gets dropped in the Feywilds

A: how does racism get normalized? B: Man, I dunno. A: Oh hey look, this racist guy just made a great point! B: what else does he have to say?

Archive your stuff! Just looked for an old review of mine and found that everything I wrote for the Daily Dot has been nuked. I've saved it all to archive.org and will update my portfolio to reflect this shortly but good grief...

flags flown from us government buildings - american flag - department flag - state flag - local flag - the "rambo 2 is real" flag

Novel about Anglo-Saxon warlord who uses time travel magic to go back & attempt to save Jesus

This reminds me of the Trail of Blood theory that Protestants put forth that there have been secret "Protestants" since the Apostles but the Catholics kept persecuting them so they reminded hidden. They claim all kinds of heretical groups like the Donatist as their own. 1/2

This might be the most blasphemous thing Trump has ever said.

Relatedly we significantly sanitize the history of slavery & colonialism. And when kids find out they were misled they start to question other basic historical facts or go searching for individuals who will tell them the “truth”

Five books to get to know me by: Against the Grain by James C Scott Persuasion by Jane Austen Tehanu by Ursula K. Le Guin The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein The Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov Bonus: Hellboy comics by Mike Mingola

The main thing I remember about Ready Player One is in the movie adaptation the main character who runs the virtual reality that is the internet and main commerce & culture hub of the world decided to shut it down twice a week.

Bible: In the end times there are gonna be charlatans who use my name to trick you into supporting evil and it will be incredibly obvious to everyone except you. Evangelicals: This section of the Bible has always been mysteriously vague.

It explains a lot when you realize that the Right thinks liberals, progressives etc are racist, misogynistic, and xenophobic like them they just hide it better.

Annual reminder that virtually every 'Easter was a pagan festival' claim online is bullshit. historyforatheists.com/2017/04/east...

happy Easter, western heretics!

Did Trump convert to Islam?

A Happy Wester to my brothers & sisters in the West

Trump’s motion for emergency review of the decision halting the East Wing project is astoundingly, historically bad and embarrassing and refers to the ballroom as “desperately needed” not once, not twice, but three times, which is plausible in a Bridgerton B-plot but not in an appellate brief.

Judas Iscariot was paid 30 pieces of silver for turning Jesus Christ in to the Roman authorities. But he made nearly 10 times that amount by placing a Polymarket bet accurately predicting the day of Christ’s death.

"This is sometimes awkward for progressives to admit, but modernity feminizes society. In fact they shouldn’t have to admit it; they should assert it. It’s a good thing. Modernity feminizes society by empowering women to become full participants in economic and political life."

I worked for a Christian film company. After my time there they were shooting a film & had a crew member die because of lax safety standards. That film later got an Oscar nomination. The crew member wasn't a professing Christian so all their statements said he had been "curious" about the faith.

one billion americans jacked into VR doing aws piecework punctuated by candy crush therapy, all of them enjoying an infrastructure renewed thanks to cops who put undesirables on blockchain enabled chain gangs and wonks using numbers crunched in foreign data centers cooled by bangladeshi child plasma

If you see this, I implore you to post a picture from whatever device you're using with no explanation.

Doug Wilson had said that public practice of the Catholic faith should be outlawed. Yet none of the 1st Amendment defenders in the administration have said anything.

Friday? Good.

Also, if you haven't looked at Josh Valcarcel's Artemis crew portraits, you're missing out. They like, make me tear up

I think Hegseth's idea here is to encourage right-wing service members to use their guns to threaten, hurt, and kill other service members they deem insufficiently right-wing, under the expectation that they will be shielded by the administration (e.g., pardons, thwarted prosecutions) for doing so.

NYT: Women be ruining the workplace and voting

Acting Attorney General Marco Rubio

(Godzilla attacks Pittsburgh on the wall-mounted TV in The Pitt waiting room) DANA(looking through the plexiglass): Pinehaven closed last year, so that's all coming straight to us. DR. ROBBY: (grimacing, looking down for a moment, rubbing his fist against the back of his neck) Jesus.

I wonder if Magnifica Humanitas will respond directly to Thiel with a different interpretation of the anime One Piece that Thiel relied upon heavily to make his argument about the antichrist?

Yeah he is the Antichrist

This is why you have multiple backups! You do not own anything on the Cloud, you are renting it. I back up everything on my desktop hard drive and a 1TB portable drive.

Such a tough question. Right now probably Arcs, I just love how it blends combat, economics, and politics with narrative storytelling in a board game. But Oath is also incredible. But Old King's Crown is a gorgeous game.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." ~ Frank Wilhoit

Whether it’s Kristi Noem getting Mar A Lago face or it’s Bryon Noem wearing enormous fake breasts, the Noems have emerged as unexpected practitioners of gender affirming interventions.

I'm not sure about this new X-Files reboot, seems too far fetched.

They don’t want people to be able to analyze their behavior

Tom Clancy’s 1989 novel Clear & Present Danger is a political thriller about rouge elements in the CIA who insert a special forces team into Columbia to shoot down drug planes, bomb drug sites, and assassinated cartel members without Congressional approval or knowledge 1/3

I have never been a supporter of Donald Trump, but if Democrats are unable to stop random liberal low-follower BlueSky accounts from talking about neocolonialism and "unhoused people", I will have no choice but to hold my nose and vote for him for the fourth time in 2028.

We wanted to understand how the rising price of gas will affect blue-collar Americans in Midwestern swing states. So we talked to three Ivy-educated podcasters with trust funds at a Le Pain Quotidien in Dupont Circle.
