I am not kidding when I say this is idolatry and blasphemy. It is wicked and will prey on people Jesus loves. I call on the church to declare this anathema.

People can text with Jesus on a controversial new app. How does it work?
Artificial intelligence app Text With Jesus lets users chat with biblical figures and it is raising debate over faith and technology.

I feel a bit embarrassed at the “people who only started reading romance five years ago” discourse because I’m in that demographic (thanks low stakes pandemic comfort reads!) But at least I have the humility to realize I was picking up a genre with complex publishing history!
I’ll say this much: This reads exactly like what it is: people who discovered romance five years ago and decided they had all kinds of amazing new ideas to “fix” it. Connections between books? That feel kind of cozy to the reader? How did no one ever think of that?? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/b...

The number of people ok with anyone being recorded at any time and the recording shared online for the sake of online vigilante “justice” is genuinely distressed. And pretty darn dystopian.

Schumer would sell his soul to the devil for a box of Cheezits and a promise that Satan will totally think about torturing him less.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

Eight democrats just caved to a fascist government and couldn’t stop patting themselves on the back for how they saved us all.
One of them actually said, on a national broadcast, that if the Republicans don’t do what they promised, the whole country will know who is to blame for higher ACA costs.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

I censor myself on here a lot— not because I am afraid of the repercussions but because if I actually let all my rage run wild it would burn down everything in near proximity.
It’s the needless suffering and the total lack of empathy from our leaders that just really makes me want to breathe fire.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

@kaine.senate.gov, this defeat is on you. When Virginians see their ACA premiums soar and want to blame someone, many will blame Democrats. They will be right to do so.
You have failed us.
You have failed us.
i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?
