And yeah, I could've brought up "New Testament Covenant was established with the Resurrection of Jesus" and cite the dream of Jesus as evidence, but it's officially Sagittarius season & I felt like tapping into my Chaotic December Sagittarian bag

Let's all just skip the "Mary Did you Know?" discourse this year? YES, she knew, Gabriel told her. YES, the song was meant in a rhetorical/metaphorical manner. YES, that's also man-splaining (something Mark Lowry didn't know about when he wrote it) NONE OF THIS will make me delete it off my Playlist

We need to do everything we can to encourage posts like this on bluesky. Terrible food opinions from big name sportswriters are genuinely the lifeblood of any social media app
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

So when are all the "Teri's" of their family going to go to therapy (since they got the money to do so), heal from their trauma and go no contact so we don't have to read think pieces EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR on the internet on how she isn't the victim in the movie Soul Food?

Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

I'm home for 🦃 Break & as I hang w/my parents getting the vittles ready we've been watching "The Stories" (CBS, now ABC then) now the lore of Victor Newman is well known. But I'm curious, did anyone else's mom also crush on the ABC men (Adam Chandler, Jackson Montgomery, The Buchanan Men)

So, maybe they wouldn't land well in 2025, but given all the things going on (and maybe I'm not looking for the right places to find them), but why are there no more "Cause Songs"(We are the World, We're All in the Same Gang) for modern events? Not even a "Sun City" for g @ ž a?

Translated “get this clown ass case out of here”
Wow.

U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie ruled Lindsey Halligan's appointment unlawful and the prosecutions against New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey therefore invalid.

Both indictments are dismissed without prejudice.

They’re mad because these Dems called out the administration’s intent to weaponize the military against citizens and now it’s out there….good luck with making the argument that the Military must obey illegal orders and not the constitution MAGA.
The Secretary of Defense is threatening Democratic Senator Mark Kelly with court martial for his messaging reminding servicemembers that their oath is to the Constitution and they should not obey unlawful orders.

(The statement also asserts that “orders are presumed to be lawful”…)
