Just putting in a solid run
Just putting in a solid run
βThe reality is that MAGA is simply exhausting to the general population. Itβs the constant embarrassment, cringe, hyperbolic lying thatβs also just a kind of huckster cheap trash esthetic that repulses far more people than it attracts.β

FYI my X account has been hacked. Ignore all messages and pray I recover it
βThis is where we are at now, that to simply tell a fairly large portion of American Evangelicalism that they need to love their neighbor as a human being worthy of dignity and respect is βwokeβ.β

Heβs almost literally doing this
βYet Jesusβ response to seeing people wasnβt to wonder what sins they havenβt repented of, it wasnβt to ask how devoted they were, it wasnβt to question whether they were βsubmittedβ enough, it was to see them as βweary and heavy ladenβ.β

Community meme: I CAN EXCUSE FASCISM. BUTI DRAW THE LINE AT MERCANTILISM.
The Supreme Court:
It got cold again (30 degree swing)
βI honestly believe disenchantment is inevitable. The narratives that arenβt grounded in any reality but only in ideological fantasy ultimately meet economic destitution, personal shame, or political ruin.β

Just a solid start to the week
βIn short, what makes you "righteous" is the affirmation of others who hold to the same thing that you do in opposition to the obvious "tainted" and "deceived" persons who have "compromised" with the "world".β

Ready for the week to be over
βIt is time to recognize that white American Evangelicalism is simply so many whitewashed tombs. Good looking doctrine, pretty people, nice worship music, βreasonableβ worldviews, and in the end the racism is just there rotting and festering underneath the surface.β

Today was about enjoying the sun on bare arms
βAt some point you have to realize you are dealing with people who simply do not wish to live in good faith with others that disagree with them. Iβve come to believe the energy addressing the same issues AGAINβ¦ is better spent doing practically anything else.β

I'm talking about friends these days. And loneliness. This watercolour print is called Friends Matter. Even animal ones. Look: we matter, and we matter to each other. Love is what connects us. To ourselves. To each other. To nature. To the animals. To the earth. Friends matter! You matter to me.
Warm enough for only two layers!
βI would suggest that they in fact, do not want to βsaveβ any kind of democracy but are arguing for a biologically natalist, nationalistic hierarchy where white, heterosexual parents with biological children are prioritizedβ

When mid 30s is now βwarmβ
βThis leads me back to Lewis. He states that the chivalrous knight is a matter of art not science. Again, the true knight is, ββ¦not a compromise or happy mean between ferocity and meekness; he is fierce to the nth and meek to the nth.β

I just couldnβt do the indoor cycle again. So I had to get it in on the warmest day this week. Itβs in the 20s not including windchill
βWe have seen the character of MAGA, and it is rotten to the core. The cult has proven that there is no loyalty to anything but itself and the promotion of its own power over everything else. We thought it was just Trump, we now know it is not.β

The sleeping giant that is America is waking and MAGA has no idea what it has unleashed
βSo much of conservative culture is simply repeating untrue things as if they are true to affirm a cultural norm that doesnβt really have to deal with the βtruthβ.β

Warmest day this week
No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.
βDemanding unilateral submission isnβt appealing to a kind of consistency, rather it is demanding an inconsistency from the subjected, that they approve of righteousness and sin at the same time towards the same authority.β

I actually wrote an entire book on it but no one wanted to publish. If you search βauthorityβ in my Substack youβll see how much more in detail I go
