I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

In the Fall of 1989 on a Friday afternoon I went to a bookstore and bought Texts of Terror and read it over the weekend. For 36 years since, violence and the Bible has been my primary focus. Thanks for this @alexianafry.bsky.social
I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to write this tribute on the late Dr. Phyllis Trible for @baptistnews.com. She gave many of us permission:

Remembering Phyllis Trible – Baptist News Global

Is it too late to get our money back on Parsons. He’s been invisible today.

With the season over, here is a very uncomfortable question. Are the Cubs deliberately trying to build an all white baseball team?

Hadn't ordered new checks from my bank in a while. Order goes to a 3rd party. They sent a text and an email when they received the order, when they processed, when they shipped, when they arrived at the post office, and when they were delivered - ten texts and emails. When did it get this intense?
