Breaking News: Significant tornadoes kill at least 4 in southern Lower Michigan Tornadoes occurred on edge of severe weather risk area

Breaking: significant tornadoes late this afternoon in southern lower Michigan have resulted in at least 4 deaths. These tornadoes were a bit of a surprise, and I made a short post with some very preliminary thoughts on what happened. open.substack.com/pub/balanced...

no weapon formed against me shall prosper

Not taking a public position on just war theory, but I will say this:

I think Christians err when we imagine sin is always an individual failure or think it would be possible to live a sinless life.

We live in a fallen world. Sin is like dust; it gets on everything, and all we can do is clean it.

This coming Monday!

aw, damn that was good. well played!

Your job is to pick the worst actor to play James Bond.

Yes, this. Like instead of knocking him out like thorazine, it targets the brain to activate critical self awareness, memory, and empathy mirror neurons.

All the wrong people have imposter syndrome.

What pisses me off more than I'd like to admit is that Hegseth is too stupid/drunk/both to realize just how pathetic and weak he sounds when he thinks he's being cool and badass. It's not fair. There should be like a drug we could give him to make him self-aware and cringe until he shits himself.

🤪💩🤡

The White House just tweeted "Touchdown" and showed a bunch of clips of guys getting hit trying to catch the ball. Literally the opposite of a touchdown. The only people who write that sports are right-wing coded are people who don't understand the right wing and don't watch sports

hollywood fame turns people in the worst way possible. if audiences knew what they were like in real life, maybe folks would feel differently about celebrating them.

fame leaves many turned ugly, with a brain fully cooked & their soul imperilled.

looks like he's not immune & another raging asshole

Like, you don’t have to do that. You’re SO LUCKY. You’re making a fortune doing something you love, that you’re good at, and you are *constantly* given rewards, encouragement, applause, recognition of all kinds.

You just don’t have to do that.

If Timothee Chalamet wants to make being a reverse-snob part of his deal, whatever. Be a child, you know?

But at a time when arts funding and support are so imperiled, it would be nice not to lead with your contempt for wide swaths of the arts during your campaign to have your own art recognized.

At this year’s DICE Awards, Ghost of Yōtei VA @erikaishii.bsky.social used their platform to demand that video game workers are treated fairly and with respect.

If you want to be part of our fight to build a better industry, reach out and get connected with an organizer.

Congratulations, Erika! 💪

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

I'm old enough to remember in the 70s when gas first hit $1 & the analog pumps only had 2 spaces; they started listing the price per HALF gallon to fit it on there

I have to drive 3400 miles for a VA doctor appointment in 2 weeks.

I had to cancel last fall bc of an emergency.

This appointment is what my life-sustaining medications are tied to.

Fucking christ, man wtf.

and the longer he goes thinking no one is going to stop him, the more people will be dead before someone finally does. try the fucking war powers act again NOW, guys! do it again every week! grind everything else to a halt! like as always a handful of GOP senators could instantly stop this

a long history of colonialism & white supremacy dismissed & ignored will never be transformed into something new without us doing the hard work we should have taken more seriously a long time ago. & i do not believe the media depicts us for who we are at the core.

wot?

For this age of confusion and bullshit, may we find new times, omfg

this is like

the thesis statement of our times

**hugs**

I genuinely think I am more terrified by the acceptance of him. How rotten and sick do things have to be in order to get to this point....just appalling & devastating
