Playing outside because it wasn’t so freakin’ hot in the summer.

Didn’t Locke (in)famously refer to slavery as a condition derived from a state of war between two individuals? So the Bishop is okay with slavery, just to be clear?

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Let me use the old Lightning Chargers (of which I have several hundred around my house), and plug in my wired headphones at the same time.

I think the impulse to think “it’s all a conspiracy” is also a way of avoiding the question of their own complicity in making choices to support this or that person or policy. Like, if it looked legit but they got duped by “the conspiracy” then they are off the hook for the war, or whatever

I think that’s Western Civ I, right? Not sure if they took the second half of the survey but there are several plot twists when we get to the 20th century

Star Wars OT or Prequels. (I’m okay with the Sequels but they’re not “comfortable” yet).

LOTR (any of them)

Indiana Jones but only Raiders or Last Crusade

I mean school lunches usually serve larger meals and look more appetizing.

Dude is man-splaining to the Pope.

Would you agree that, generally speaking, evangelical and millenarian sects think in terms of “the Anti-Christ is coming,” and those are also sects that lean toward MAGA? Asking honestly because I don’t know enough to be sure.

Should also point out that Protestant and Orthodox denominations have also historically refrained from political activity. Luther was notably silent on this issue.

Definitely giving me gray hairs

That’s funny. Like imagine someone telling Vance to keep his government nose out of every American’s ideas about religion.
