I'll admit I filled up the ICE car's tank today even though it was still a bit more than half full. Luckily we've got a Leaf and that's the primary errand car anyway.

Honestly: you don't.

Or you reach out to shared friends in hopes that one of them is still in touch.

Proton definitely likes to imply there's no MLAT.

Yeah exactly. There’s room for awe and reverence regardless of any kind of anthropomorphic god or whatever

Me: “I don’t need a spoon”

Restaurant staff: *puts two spoons in bag*

Yeah that’s… not great obviously but if that belief keeps them from doing so good I guess?

I think about this a lot. (The misinformation/manipulation angle.) For a little while it was part of my job to think about it. That was cool.

Thank you for listening to my TED talk 😂

That said, I DO think religion can have value both for fellowship and for the behavioral nudge it can give. But of course it can also be abused by those in power.

Reading the wiki article, I’m def apatheistic. Either there’s a god or gods who will reward behaving in what I believe to be a moral way, or ones who will punish it in which case I don’t want to worship them anyway. Or there aren’t any (or at least aren’t any who care) and it doesn’t matter.

Does CO have a CBA?

I mean, ultimately it’s a nuanced and difficult situation for all. But for me the SB and ACPS CO have squandered any trust I gave them so there is no more benefit of the doubt that they’re acting in good faith.

Huh. Of course there’s a term. What about “I don’t think the existence or lack thereof is an interesting question within moral-ethical philosophy”?

It’s less the existence of the CB as the hostage taking of “nice teachers ya got there, would be a shame if anything happened to them”

When all you have is a hammer yadda yadda

I just listened to that one last night!

This sounds very up my alley

Eh I’d be fairly surprised. Maybe even a bit suspicious.

I’m on Team Mr. Elena here.

I started listening to all of my Akiyoshi yesterday with the intention being to thin it out and instead now I want to complete the discography. (Of the big band. To truly have all her work would require a lot more space) #jazzsky

Oh man, love me some Bonhoeffer.

Oh guaranteed

He’s the second dumbest senator, kept out of the top spot just because Tuberville is so stupid I don’t understand how he remembers to breathe.

But the rest of us should call you that. Got it.

“Oh, the hammock district?”

There are so many great ones.

“Embiggen is a perfectly cromulent word.” (Being from Edna Crabapple being the kicker)

Serious “signs for people who don’t read signs” energy here.

“Disco Stu doesn’t advertise.”

*Lew

I keep hoping for a short reunion tour while she and Lee Tabackin are still alive but it seems pretty unlikely at this point.

I kinda suspect he feels like he has to support it.

But agreed, complaining isn’t going to help him.

Sending all the good vibes I can spare.
