What I mean when I say I am praying for someone else is just that I have been telling God about the intense concern I have about them and the love, and letting that love feel connected to God and other people's love for them.

Even if it's liquor I had someone tell me straight up they were trying to stop from going into withdrawl. I know that can kill you and I couldnt put them through rehab so I gave them money. I'm sure other people had that problem but were too embarrassed to admit it.

They also hit me with the republican "feed a man a fish." I said we need to walk with two feet. Mercy and justice. Mercy takes care of the immediate need, justice works to remedy the circumstances of poverty.

"people would often come up to ask him for money, telling him how they were down on their luck. He’d hand them $20. I’d ask him, “How do you know that they’re not putting you on; that they really need help?”
He’d answer, “I can’t take the chance.”

People talking to me after pub theology last niche started to say "but isn't it unfair to rich people when they get scammed by beggars?"
The only response that made sense in the moment was to condescendingly fake cry

Means testing is stupid and expensive and we simply shouldn’t do it. Feed people. House them. Provide them healthcare. Do it like you mean it.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

One of our fifth grade teachers donated ONE HUNDRED turkeys to yesterday's Turkey Trot. That's ONE HUNDRED families in need at our school who will receive a turkey. We also gave out grocery store gift cards.

Completely agree!
In 1980, Supreme Court held in Stone v. Graham that a Kentucky law mandating 10 Commandment poster in every public school classroom violated the Establishment Clause.
States are hoping Roberts Court will overrule that earlier decision

Everyone sees a constitutional fight. The only reason this law was passed was to set up a case to give conservatives on SCOTUS the opportunity to overrule Stone v Graham and McCreary County v ACLU since it has already formally ditched the Lemon test and gutted endorsement. It's 100% test case.
Texas schools are hanging the Ten Commandments in classrooms under a new law. Some see a moral guide — others see a constitutional fight.
Beliefs clash among students, parents and teachers as the Ten Commandments go up in Texas classrooms
A new Texas law says every public school classroom must display a poster listing the Ten Commandments.

The whole "undermine our way of life" stuff is pure 1950s "Red Scare" shit given a technological gloss. China doesn't give two hoots about the US "way of life" (whatever that means). They care about our government and tech firms; unless you are telling your baby state secrets, no one is listening.

This is conspiracy theory stuff. China doesn’t need to spy on baby monitors to know what Americans are doing. They can just open Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or one of the many apps that Americans use to share the kind of information that two generations ago couldn’t be waterboarded out of them.
HINSON: As a mom, I think about watching a baby monitor. That's a very intimate moment with your baby and to think the Chinese could be spying on your morning routine
BARTIROMO: Why are they spying on moms?
HINSON: They just want to know what Americans are up to to undermine our way of life

Biggest shocker at my talk today, which is consistent with my other talks and media stuff, is that the acceptance rate for men and women are different at highly selective institutions. Men have a much higher acceptance rate because most colleges are scared to go beyond a 60/40 ratio.

If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.
