“In IDF camps, Palestinians are beaten to death. Raped to death. The same broom handle is inserted into multiple anuses as form of punishment. Bodies are left out to decompose. The smell is horrible. Dogs trained to sexually assault prisoners.” — Shaiel Ben-Ephraim, a former IDF soldier

Rümeysa Öztürk, Tufts University grad arrested by ICE agents last year, returns to Turkey - The Boston Globe The government and Öztürk’s legal team have jointly moved to dismiss her immigration proceedings.

“That Rümeysa felt she had to return to Turkey to escape the shadow of state violence says everything you need to know about the state of free speech and academic freedom in this country,” said Ramya Krishnan, an attorney at the Knight First Amendment Institute. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/17/m...

Hegseth Borrows Violent Prayer from ‘Pulp Fiction’ to Bless Iran War at April Pentagon Worship Service For the second month in a row, Pete Hegseth, who likes to call himself “secretary of war,” read a violent prayer — that echoes a scene in the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction — during a worship ser...

Slop Timeline!
Pete Hegseth adapts the 'quotation' of Ezekiel by Samuel L. Jackson’s character Jules in Pulp Fiction, which itself creatively adapts the biblical text, yet attributes the source as Ezek 25:17, to create a prayer of vengeance against Iran.

Marcel Mauss's lunch invitation to Marius Barbaeu, 5 April 1909

"[Marcel] Mauss was an enthusiastic cook and introduced [Marius] Barbeau to French cuisine. In return Barbeau invited Mauss to lunch but received gentle reproach: 'No! Mana descends; it doesn't rise!'" - Frances M. Slaney

Also: Irish as Milesians, lol. All peoples are originally Greek. Except for the ones who were originally Jews, like Māori (who were also Egyptian according to Samuel Marsden).
Andrew Tobolowsky @andytobo.bsky.social is right again.

"The subtle metaphysics of the Maori were too much for the Milesian mind to grasp"
- Elsdon Best (1909)

That was Best's Hibernophobic conclusion to his story of an Irishman - looking to fell a tree - becoming "hopelessly befogged" after hearing Tutakangahau's explanation of the tree's mauri stone.

7/5 "Geoff Troughton... says there is not yet strong enough evidence to suggest the “Quiet Revival” is occurring.... But he believes the pervasiveness of belief in a revival stems from a 'relief from embattlement' among Christians, who are tired of being told the faith is in decline."

Quite likely.

6/5 New Zealand journalists are still actively searching for Christian 'Quiet Revival' stories - after the founding study was withdrawn as false. Proof 'both-sides journalism' is crap.
Here they focus on a man with schizophrenia who now believes the Christian God is speaking to him.

In the latest Journal of Biblical Literature, Robert Myles examines cunts in the Jesus movement:

White privilege.

We've had fully-grown feijoas IN DUNEDIN for a couple of weeks. The daughter even made a feijoa loaf last week. This probably means nothing to Aucklanders, but feijoa season in Dunedin has usually started end of April, really mostly May-June.
Climate change is real: Dunedin feijoas don't lie.

Ha! That's rich. We need to factor contemporary both-sides journalism into the current operation of confirmation bias.

Yeah, true. And it would never fly today, because of how involved he got with the community. I was thinking of going 'confirmation bias', which is well supported, but Festinger does have.... aliens.

5/5 So... theologians and clergy who have commented on the 'Quiet Revival' retraction can be seen as behaving not too dissimilarly to the UFO-Cult members who were the subjects of Festinger's original analysis of cognitive dissonance reduction.

A 'quiet' Catholic revival? Christchurch says 'yes' After years of declining church membership, something strange is happening in Christchurch: young men are returning to the Catholic Church.

A quiet revival? (Photo by Matt Botsford on Unsplash) The 2025 Quiet Revival report was retracted overnight. The Bible Society was informed by YouGov that the survey sample that the data was based on was faulty, as…

3/5 Exhibit One: "the change reported in The Quiet Revival was considerably more extensive than seemed reasonable. However, like the Quiet Revival team, I do think that there has been change in the social and religious climate."

2/5 The Bible Society/YouGov retracted a bogus survey about a Christian 'Quiet Revival' in the UK (contrary to all other available stats in the UK and West).
Guess how theologians and clergy are responding? Sort of like this: 'We were wrong, but anecdotes suggest we are right'

1/5 Loud Anecdotes have replaced the Quiet Revival.

In When Prophecy Fails (1956), Leon Festinger coined the term ‘Cognitive dissonance reduction’ - to describe the way UFO cult members simply reinterpreted a failed prophecy about aliens in order to keep believing.
