Latest ep is out from behind the paywall! I've got Tarence and Tom from The Trillbillies on to revisit the clothes-pile thriller classic, Left Behind, and ask some tough questions like “How did they spend $17 million on this?” and “What if the Rapture was good, actually?” Out on all platforms
From the intro to Boyarin’s ‘Border Lines.’ He was castigated by so many for drawing comparisons of the treatment of Palestinians to the Shoah, and these past 2 years have demonstrated, more than ever, just how right he was and is. Wish that even 5% of Bible scholars were at least not cowards.

Every newsroom in the US is raising money right now. It can be hard to break through. (The Intercept is once again struggling to make its goal.) In these difficult times, @merrywanderer.bsky.social had an out of the box idea to help RANGE stand out. Happy giving Tuesday!

I had a great time doing this interview. Go check it out if you are into Bible-y stuff and/or the economics of religion!
It’s the siege of Jerusalem and the end of the Davidic dynasty on this “season finale” of the Bible Lore Podcast. Along the way, scholar @blindscholar.bsky.social joins me to discuss the way elites justified their own class position through mythology. This is the big one, gang.

Thank you @haydentank.bsky.social for creating our Silly British Games and Sports Compass. If any of our superfans want to place more recent topics (e.g. ferret legging) on the chart we'd be very grateful because obviously I do not remember what we said about any of them

Wish people in Bible scholarship would learn from this excellent video. Counter-apologetics content is rarely interesting, even if it gets views. Learn to talk about the stuff you like, not merely respond to annoying clowns. Learn to kindly tell your audience, on occasion, to get a fucking grip.
this is the last physics video for a bit.
and I didn't even get to do any physics.

It's part of what makes the Kleins of the world so obnoxious. Say that some position, like being a xenophobe, was of short term political value but that empowering a future fascist regime's unaccountable enforcers was, you know, the death of democracy. Should you do it?
It's undeniable that ICE is worse under the second Trump term than it was under Biden or Trump 1 or Obama or Bush but that ICE would be used in this way for these ends is as foreseeable a disaster as leaving a loaded gun on a table next to a case of whiteclaw. It's as much a failure of prevention.

Brian Kilmeade is slavering for the execution of homeless people. This is what mainstream right-wing media is like. You don’t have to say that killing Kirk was right – it wasn’t, it was stupid and ineffective – but the weepy condemnations and tone-policing will not fix or stop what is coming.

Since nothing else is going on, check out the newest BLP episode! Talking child sacrifice in reality today, specifically the Punic “mlk” ritual that left jars of infant corpses buried throughout the Mediterranean.

SO many people on the ostensible political left choosing to publicly mourn a white nationalist shows the extent to which we have already lost.

Dawg they won't even agree on M4A or voting Row into law lol
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to:
•admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states
•abolish ICE
•grant citizenship to any immigrant
•disband the 5th Circuit
•expand the Supreme Court
Seriously: Why the hell not?

Mark understands very well all of the loopholes that come with unrealized capital gains but still insists on calling any attempt to regulate this a “shakedown” while also putting taxing for a “fair share” in scare quotes. They love Trump, they just wish he was less crass.
I’m the furthest from a Trump fan. But the reality is that he would have to shake very hard to equate to the shakedowns of the unrealized cap gains tax and warren’s tax that were proposed.
And what will YOU do, Mark Cuban, when he comes to shake you down, too?

rich people cheat the tax code by borrowing against those same unrealized gains, with assets marked to market for collateral, because the loans aren't taxable as income.

Thrilled to have @slclunk.brighamyoungmoney.com on the pod to talk about the decidedly less-thrilling Mormon/Evangelical co-production: The Chosen, a show that dares to bring Prestige TV bloat to the gospels and tries to get away with Jew jokes by replacing "Jew" with "Pharisee". Neat!

Recalling even some relatively left-leaning people on here saying they were impressed with Buttigieg and his term under Biden. You folks still drinking this garbage?
Q: Would you vote to oppose sending weapons to Israel?
PETE BUTTIGIEG: So much of this is complicated

reporters talking to the president the way i would ask a cat what he's doing up on the roof there little buddy. how'd you get up there! sweetie!
Reporters shouted to ask what he was doing up there and he said he was "taking a little walk." He said something about the White House ballroom and made some gestures but it's not really making a ton of sense yet. Normal stuff
