Have asked this before and always like the responses. What are your biggest “I saw that in the first run cinema” flexes? Couple of mine:
Transformers: The Movie (1986)
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Office Space (1999)

Up until the pandemic, one of the main foci of my ministry in Madison was homelessness. When the city finally took responsibility for the shelter in our basement at the beginning of lockdown, I was able to let others step up. But now I seem to thrust back into it.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

After the Yeoman
His powerful critiques of industrial agriculture have shaped generations of thinking about the South. But how useful is Wendell Berry’s agrarianism in a new age?

So, remember that Episcopal bishop in New Hampshire that told priests to get their wills in order because “we are entering a new era of martyrdom"?
I ran across historical precedent for that today.
It's from a radio transcript @rns.org produced about a Lutheran bishop in Denmark…
…in 1943.

I discovered a Ritter Sport gebrannte Mandeln (toasted almonds) from our annual visit to the Bavarian Sausage Kitchen tonight. I know there are brats and weisswurst in the freezer that we’ll have in Lent to reenact the famous Lenten würstessen of the Zürich Reformation

Making the rounds this week among Christian progressives: new poem by Rob Hardy, poet laureate, Northfield, MN. Yes, the protests and all the work being done to throw sand in the gears and provide aid to those at home and being released from Whipple are a kind of liturgy — “work of the people.” ⚓️

Fascinating “Finding Your Roots” tonight. Chris Paul’s ancestor, Peter Oliver was purchased and baptized by the Moravians in NC, resold to a PA Moravian in 1800, sued for his freedom, and moved back to NC.
