William Kentridge, Blue Rubrics (Starve the Algorithm), 2019
Mottahedeh’s book made an enormous impression on me.
A title Mrs always has to quickly mentally cross-reference against “The Man Who Came to Dinner.”
(Noting though that @npr.org did actual reporting on this.)
The post has the Claude AI bumhole logo in the corner. Misinformation all the way down
The United States is becoming (?) Lewis’ vision of Hell, an increasingly sprawling suburb with no center where everyone is more and more insulated from his neighbors until the end of time
This is one of the curlers on the USA Paralympic curling team and I told him today that he should post about his Paralympic experience on BlueSky because people on BlueSky get very excited whenever anybody doing anything cool in the world posts through it on BlueSky instead of other websites
oh snap it’s half price on Switch at the moment
now to absolve myself of all responsibilities as stay-at-home dad to a six-month-old………
God loves me specifically.
Who has the authority to appoint people to stuff. As we saw with the KC, these boards and commissions can have teeth when they want to.
Typical Gavin fact tbh
One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.
Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.

Including the dead. Necromancy’s generally looked down upon.
Greg Davies: That is one absolutely sodden infant. Excellent work.
Thetis: It's not as easy as you might think, dipping a baby in a river
Alex Horne: So the instructions for the task were to dip the *whole baby* in the river...
I think he was speaking the language of “meeting them where they are” very well; not trying to evangelize, but represent his own worldview (incl. God as the ground of being) to fit that of his interlocutor
I think you and I have different levels of sensitivity to that sort of thing 😁
It’s tricky to gauge on the ground, to be honest — and I’m not surprised that the question of receiving the sacraments at “opposite” parishes, or clergy concelebrating, is handled differently than here. (Sadly for me, the only week I spent in Moldova had me spending Sundays at the airport!)
(Like, the guy is currently enrolled in an MDiv program with the PCUSA!)
I heard him on Klein, not Douthat, and I found what I heard pretty doctrinally C.S. Lewishly “mere orthodox”
(Where a number of subordinate jurisdictions coexist in full communion, along with the autocephalous Orthodox Church in America.) Thank you, though, for covering this important topic!
I would be very careful using the word “schism,” which in Orthodox ecclesiology has a technical meaning that doesn’t apply here. The parent patriarchates (Moscow and Bucharest) maintain full communion; the same organizational conundrum is present here in the States.
Oh dang!!
On the contrary! Havre de Grace, Maryland drops an illuminated duck; Easton, Maryland, drops a crab.
There is the @ricksteves.bsky.social anecdote: “Death to traffic!”
Love it when my government considers the consequences of its actions
