Ready to preach at the Church of Christ in Rijeka. So sweet to be here again!

You must inform the journal.

Don't need to go to Coachella. I can just blast different songs simultaneously from every room in my house and pretend I have no bathrooms.

I'm not claiming to be a hero, but with every Cadbury MiniEgg I eat, that's a dog not getting chocolate poisoning.

I've saved so many dogs.

Oof.

That part of the world is so beautiful. Desolate but beautiful.

As a child, I spent a lot of time in the Guadalupes. More in New Mexico than TX, though.

Yup. That was almost in the dirt.

Heartbreaking & beautiful.

Great stuff.

The earliest live video of R.E.M. with sound was resurfaced on YouTube a few days ago. Really great stuff. Love the superfans singing "Windout" as the song starts because they know what's coming. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMTG...

“You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they may be.”

New Charlie Parker book, from the great John Connolly, coming in May. #greatness

I had the same thought.

That game felt a little like the old Eagles-Bears Fog Bowl to me, but without my teenaged hormonal rage at the results.

The image is the prayer in the text of the post

The Administrator's Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the faculty I cannot change,
The courage to change the faculty I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.

I feel like "attention hacking" is most of politics now. The Minnesota aid fraud story is becoming a perfect example.

Recap: In 2022, the Biden DOJ filed the first charges against dozens of fraudsters, many of them Somali-American, who'd fleeced a state food aid program. (1/x)

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment.

It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

Me too. The scene where “ghost Kirk” appears to Uhuru has haunted (perfect word) me since I saw it in 1972.

RIP

At least I’ve heard of (& heard) them.
