Trump's America is like the addict I walked by yesterday raving one minute and passed out and drooling the next. The best I can do to try to deescalate their ravings and have Narcan ready so they don't die. Occasionally I can stop them from shitting in the street but that is about it

my biggest battle with the church was grounded in my belief that the church should be a third space FIRST and then a missional outpost - I lost! The church shrinks and builds more crappy churches so they didn't win either... meditation on 3rd space...

I often think about stopping - I can't look around - my heart pounds - my breath is short - grim
Clearly I need therapy

I don’t see any reason to cooperate with Trump Republicans. They literally wish death on half of this country…do not concede. Do not go along. Do not be a partner.
Shun them. Oppose them. Stand up and link arms and talk back. Fvck them.

In case you want to read the full House Ethics committee report on Matt Gaetz but were too ashamed to ask for it at the magazine stand.
Tens of thousands of dollars spent on girls he met via "SeekingArrangement.com"
Here's the full report.

What bothers me most about the hagiographies tech journalists wrote about Elon Musk for 20+ years is that they universally framed him as an intelligent man.
He's not.
He's an undereducated, intemperate, incurious, prejudiced, unwise, narrowly skilled dolt who is willfully ignorant on most topics.
