A screenshot of the bible app showing that several versions need to be updated.

Also I hate it when my bible is stuck in an update cycle :(. And they removed my NRSV copy, too!

Huh, I had forgotten about the Luke chapter. That is an obscure one and Peter chopping off ears looms much larger for me.

what is this about self-defense weapons??

i do not think that this administration is capable of pursuing a secret war goal that's radically different from everything they've said publicly.

i was having this conversation with a friend who worked in the Obama-era Office of the US Trade Representative, very credentialed and plugged-in guy.
He believes that we're doing this to cut off China's access to oil, in part because "oil is the only thing connecting venezuela and iran."

I was mentally characterizing the Bernie variety as a “way too online” oddity. Maybe a lot bigger than I thought.

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

I’m wondering whether the commander of centcom is an idiot? Or had plans ready for Hormuz that were ignored?

Because his bio reads like very normal progressive command experience. And then I see that there’s no plan and he sent the mine hunters to the farm.

I’ve been struggling to accept how widespread, and how influential, “Hillary the Hawk, Donny the dove” was.

Biiiiiiig “no girls allowed” sign on the country

Operation 3

No! No!!

(I’m so confused by ‘(at)’)

i went strawberry picking once and got a headache from the heat and the bending over :(

They’re always loafin’!!!

THE RISE OF THE LATTE TOWN I'm holding up traffic. I'm walking down the street in Burlington, Vermont, and I come to a corner and see a car approaching so I stop. The car stops.

David Brooks's article about 'Latte Towns' was published in 1997 and they're still on about this. Kind of unbelievable!!

i don't think they're teaching much theology in evangelical schools!!!!!

i think it's a specifically evangelical term, and it's one that's very hard to fit into my (catholic, not practicing) conception of christianity.
I've also tried to listen to some of the bigger Exvangelical accounts describe their deconstruction process, and they're oddly devoid of content?

Delmartians, of course, are natives of the Delmarva peninsula.

The sub task for “find out where else they’re storing the nuclear material” has been spinning forEVER

i thought it dragggggggged

yup

Pls spoiler, the accounts of the woke camps are too horrible for main

I would personally pay to rent him upwards of ten blood and guts movies, if we can manage to switch him back to the fake stuff.

i think people underestimate the number of americans who believe in literal demonic forces shaping the world.
