I finally figured out the reference!

“I am Belarion, the Antichrist.” He’s quoting Jack Parsons, disciple of Aleister Crowley. 💥

One of the things I love about working The World Trade Center is seeing families from everywhere, Moms & Dads, often with their teenage kids. Dads are trying to act like “I’ve got this.” The teens are trying to look cool in their ‘fits for NYC. & Moms actually being cool.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is. Like just when I worry things can’t get stupider, life finds a way.

Nerd alert 🚨 I decided to start watching baseball again this year after a couple of decades of just spending my free time working on my rockabilly guitar licks!

@MLB watching the All-Star game tonight. I’m struck by how welcoming it is to fans both old and new.

TYSM! ⚾️🏟️

I taught my students about the *post box ergo propter hoc* fallacy.

But is it okay if I indulge in it for one day with JD Vance and the Pope?

Dear men of NYC: I am mortified for those of you who take your phone into the restroom, and conduct business there. Please. Stop it. You’re not losing that much time by leaving it on your desk. It’s not like you’re at a Rush concert, and the line is long for the men’s.

Just texted a friend, unironically,

“Where do we go now?”

And now I, a child of the glorious 80’s will have Axel Rose haunt my dreams tonight.

RIP David Johansen. In January 2020, his wife Mara texted me to show up dressed to the nines at the Carlyle Club that night. Taking my seat, someone slid into the booth next to me. “Hi, I’m Marty.” Scorsese was making a doc on our hero.

I learned the Gospels w/ Gerald Borchert at Southern Seminary (before the war).

I went to Israel with him for the first time in 1994. Palestine + Israel = Messiah.

His lectures on the Gospel of John helped me understand a Yeshua for everyone.

This. I want to go back to there.

Sigh. We were here first, but with theology.
I like to think that the traffic to @theguardian.com is largely because everybody here is reading this piece by @josie.zone
