I never read the Left Behind novels, so my most memorable association is this passage from @radosh.bsky.social’s book Rapture Ready:
![Book passage reading:
In the final volume, a horrified Jesus returns and admonishes the Tribulation Force, "Put your swords away, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword." Just kidding. Actually, what
Jesus does is this:
“[M]en and women soldiers and horses seemed to explode where they stood. It was as if the very words of the Lord had superheated their blood, causing it to burst through their veins and skin... Their innards and entrails gushed to the desert floor, and as those around them turned to run, they too were slain, their blood pooling and rising in the unforgiving brightness of the glory of Christ.”
Gloria in excelsis Deo, motherfucker.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:356vf3h26qcjvm7upg7ogzxe/bafkreiflzggp7tnv623fxaw2k5jlxb3n572t5gsmk3b6cm2m6aqqzxg3rm@jpeg)

Consulting with Artistic Daughter, we decided this Reactive Borb pose would be a bit hard for younger viewers to “read” as a coloring book style illustration? #WIP

The modern “conservative” ethos is actually very ancient. Here it is spelled out in Plato, as an interlocutor named Meno answers Socrates’ request, “tell me what you say that virtue is”. That’s easy, says Meno: a man should help his friends and harm his enemies

The first of a couple of old sheep camp / nature of memory posts I've been meaning to recover from the purge, as a lot of my other rescued articles link back to them:

Like here’s a little overflow stack of books I read when writing about *just* the sub-subcategory of *pet psychics*—which is its own thriving *industry*! Pet psychics make money; people believe them. Does any critical reporting or scholarship track any of that on a continuous basis? (I don’t!)
