Fantasy Island backdrop for the deep character dive that South Park just took into the caricature of a human known as J.D. Vance. If you haven’t made the connections yet, you are missing out on this new moment in sidekick lore and its convergence with the Epstein fallout saga.

Just saw this. Kudos to @brandonwhawk.bsky.social for contributing to More New Testament Apocrypha and OT Pseudepigrapha. Several of these texts are completely new to me. Can't wait to see what literary treasures are in store. List of contents here: www.eerdmans.com/978080288441...

Footnote from an article/chapter in the works on CANT 76, with connections to the article on the Narrative of Joseph of Arimathea on Demas just published in BEECO. If late 4th century Palestinian Holy Land pilgrimage is an area of interest, Busch's work on the Testament of Solomon is also valuable.
