Sometimes adequate Jesus lover. Former teller of bad jokes and tortured analogies (youth pastor). Love God. Love people. That’s the best we can do.

When modern Christians say “it’s not the government’s job to help the poor,” they’re not echoing Jesus, Paul, the prophets, or the early church.
They’re echoing figures like Ayn Rand, who despised Christianity’s communal ethic of compassion and called altruism a “moral evil.”

Really wanted the Mariners to end the drought and capture a pennant. Bummed for them and their diehard fans.

I told my son the game was cursed and would never end. It would just be the skeletons of Mariners and Tigers endlessly playing twenty years from now.
My current operating theory is that someone must’ve hired an Etsy witch on behalf of the Tigers and they and the Mariners’ Etsy witch are just doing dueling hexes on each other and therefore we are going to be watching this game until the heat death of the universe.

Wow. What a game. I'm a Tigers fan, but I can't even be mad. They escaped from multiple no escape situations in that game, and the Mariners are just a good team. I freaking love baseball.

I did not want to see the Tigers go to extras, but I am happy not to see the zombie runner (Manfred man?) on second base.

I really wish Detroit wasn't playing Seattle right now. My lifelong Tigers fandom is running up hard against my interest in seeing the Mariners finally reach the World Series.

My guess is she lost the players a long time ago, but the fact that it is spilling out into public spearheaded by one of the WNBA’s most high profile players and leaders, does not bode well for Englebert’s future with the league. From @alexaphilippou.bsky.social www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.
If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

““What would Jesus do?”
kind of assumes Jesus stayed in the tomb.
A better – admittedly less catchy – question is “What IS Jesus DOING and how am I invited to participate?””

Happy for Paige Bueckers and UConn, but I did not expect that much of a beatdown. Would have liked a closer game. Huskies peaked at the right time and looked a level above everyone else.

i think booker would agree with me when i say the takeaway here isn’t “dems are finally stepping up! we’re saved!” it’s that big things are possible when we, the people, unite and demand action.
Btw, that means in the last 24 hours we've had:
-Cory Booker going for a record in holding the floor
-Ruben Gallego putting a hold on VA nominees over cuts to veterans care
-Adam Schiff putting a hold on Ed Martin's nomination for DC US attorney over... a lot
That's a genuinely good start.
