Why isn't there Christian rave music? Like, just sick beats interspersed with quotes from Jesus?
I'm thinking of Matthew Fox's "Techno-Cosmic Mass" and it seems like this would be a better alternative to the shitty Christian worship music.

Y'know, I've never been Team Maddow necessarily but I did like @maddow.bsky.social speaking up against the war during the War on Terror period at a time when few in the media were willing to do so.
WTF is she doing at Cheney's funeral?

Elon Musk’s anti-woke version of Wikipedia, Grokipedia, cites neo-Nazi forums in multiple places as source.
A great validation of the notion that when people say they’re anti-woke, they just mean they’re hyper racist.

I enjoyed "Our Flag Means Death" but I think a better idea would be a ship of women and queer people that become pirates on the Pacific to escape patriarchy. A "found family" story encountering strange religions, high weirdness, queerness, etc. If I knew how to write, I would write this series.

as a reporter, the part of this that i’ve simply never understood is how the next person to ask a question when he does something like this doesn’t simply repeat the question that set him off. it’s not just solidarity with your colleague, it’s an important question that remains worth asking
I’m not going to pretend it’s easy to say something in the moment when you witness the president do this and you’re aboard Air Force One with all the uniformed officers and secret service and fancy wood accents, but this is really an instance where you should. people.com/donald-trump...

Was SNL not funny this whole time or am I just too old to be its target audience?
Skit after skit, I just don't think is funny at all. Like, I know who Sebastian Maniscalso is but I thought that skit featuring the guy playing him was fucking terrible.

So when I see things on my Discover feed that I do not want, (for example, sports), I click on the poster and mute them.
However, I think something in the algorithm makes it think that me clicking on a post about sports indicates that I was interested in sports, which makes me get more. Ugh!

I'm just finding out that parts of Canada have 24 hour dhaba-style truck stops with vegetarian food (There are apparently a lot of Sikh truck drivers.) and people are bothered by this???
COME HERE! BRING ME CHEAP VEGETARIAN INDIAN FOOD, PLEASE!! Fuck, what is wrong with people?

"spread of cult of the Madonna" cmon Catholicism you have to own some responsibility here. An outsider visiting Italy would be forgiven for thinking Catholics worship Mary. They've been skirting round idolatry forever- there's a shrine to Mary on every street corner

I'm not saying the guy is perfect. We'll see what happens in NYC. It's just good to see someone passionate about making change and wanting to fight to make life more affordable.

I don't believe in Hell but I would like to think that there's some sort of punishment in the afterlife simply for people like Cheney.
Thank you for making the world a better place by leaving it.
