The people that taught me to fear that the US government would arrest Christians for preaching the Gospel now cheer on Donald Trump as he arrests Christians for preaching the Gospel.
A bearded white man with brown hair lies facedown on the ground, his head held up looking toward the camera with a stoic face. While we can't see his hands, the angle of his shoulders suggest he is handcuffed. Illinois State Troopers kneel around him, arresting him. The caption of the photo reads: [3/3] Faith leader, Michael Woolf, minister at Lake Street Church of Evanston, is detained by Illinois State Police during a protest against immigration actions, outside the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago, Illinois, U.S., November 14, 2025. REUTERS/Jim Vondruska. A screenshot of a twitter post from the US Department of Homeland Security, apparently now deleted, describing the arrest of Rev. Michael Woolf and others: "Womp womp, cry all you want. These criminal illegal aliens aren't getting released. Like clockwork, violent rioters have arrived at the Broadview ICE facility to demand the release of some of the worst human beings on planet earth. Get a job you imbecilic morons."

DVD cover of the 1973 Chilean film Enough Praying (literally, "It is Not Enough to Pray Anymore"). The title is in Spanish in black block letters above a depiction of a Catholic priest preparing to throw a rock, his free hand in a closed fist. The background is a rainbow gradient with yellow at the top and green at the bottom.

You can't AI generate conservapedia! You need the human touch for writing like this.
The movie had one of the characters blame "Reaganomics" for the lack of job opportunities in the town and also one of the team's players was an anchor baby. In the end, one of the coaches, who was a sheriff in Texas, was able to get the player and his illegal mother a way to stay. So it was also favorable toward illegal immigration.

"But a new spirit had come over the people of Poland. Hate and more hate was the answer to the Nazi terror. Rebellion against suppression. Determination to fight at any moment, anywhere, everywhere. The battle was on. "V." "V" for "victory!" Down with the Nazis! Down with Hitler!"
Screenshot from To Be or Not to Be (1942) of graffiti of Hitler hanging from a gallows. The subtitles read "Down with the Nazis. Down with Hitler."

Saw an armored car for a company called LOOMIS today and maybe it's just the time of year, but that's not a name that inspires security to me.

From Cleveland we booked a ride on Zipi transit. Paul with Zipi makes shuttle trips along the entire 326 mile OTET path almost daily this time of year. He'll drop us off in Cincinnati and we'll bike back home to Columbus from there.
A selfie of me, a bald white guy with a greying beard and plastic glasses, sitting in the back of a transit van. Over my right shoulder you can see a trailer full of bikes strapped upright and the highway.

"Each evening around dusk observe the local pigs flock to the area. While their bright colorful lights appear showy and inviting, be careful: these aggressive and territorial creatures are there to claim the shoreline for the night."
A photo of Edgewater Beach in Cleveland, Ohio, at dusk taken from an adjacent hill. The skyline of Cleveland is in the background, Lake Erie in the foreground of the left, the beach to the right with people dotting it. There is a line of trees separating the beach and lake from the cityscape, across the center of the photo. In the middle of the beach near the bottom of the treeline is a pavilion which is surrounded by dozens of police cars with lights on.

Accidentally did an anarchist pilgrimage by biking under this bridge that the FBI once entrapt some anarchists into planning to blow up.
The Brecksville-Northville High Level Bridge, a very tall 1930s attached concrete bridge spanning over the Cuyahoga River in Cuyahoga County Ohio. The picture is taken from doing the river, looking across a gravel bike path, grass, and trees.

Just trying to turn onto a closed street. In the bike lane because the right turn lane is closed to key you from turning onto the closed street.
A white sedan driving down a two way bike lane, preparing to turn right. Beside the car the right turn lane is closed with an orange barrel on top of which is a "no right turns"sign, because the road the car is turning into is closed.

Columbus bike infrastructure: it exists!
A three lane wide urban street with a double yellow line separating a lake in one direction from two in the other. A sharrow is painted in the center of the street, pointing in the opposite direction as the flow of traffic in the lane it is painted in.

Though there may be even money on 28 year old "Texford" being some sort of performance art piece.
A white man in a blue suit who looks suspiciously like a young Jack Black in a Jack White wig, wearing black plastic glasses that look a bit like they're edited into the picture. His face is very red and he may not be able to tie a tie.

Image of a replica of a large carved wooden version of the US national seal, an eagle with outstretched wings before a shield, gifted to the US ambassador to the Soviet Union in 1945. It hung in his official residence in Moscow until 1952 when "The Thing", a small microphone with a nine inch long antenna that had been hidden inside behind the eagle's beak, was discovered.

Also, the base units after conversion are "Friend" and "Friend Woman". Even the units that can be both genders are gendered ridiculously. Here's a screenshot of Medic and Medic Woman.
A screenshot of Left Behind: Eternal Forces showing two units, a male medic and a female medic, standing in the street. The male medic (left) is dressed in a utility vest and jeans. The female medic is dressed in a white dress and hat like Nurse Ratchet.

Got a youtube comment on one of my videos where I'm playing Left Behind: Eternal Forces, the RTS based on Left Behind books.
Maybe my Christians only killed unarmed college professors because I'm bad at the game, but I'm pretty sure the turrets the game had me build weren't shooting Chick Tracts.
Why are you a liar? I own and have played the game and I never had to kill any NPCs to get through the levels. Women characters can become the most powerful class in the game.

Mound St in Columbus is named the Hopewell Culture earthwork which once sat at the corner of Mound and High. High St at first curved around east side of the mound, and Mound St deadended at it. 40ft tall and 300ft wide, the mound was dismantled by convict labor in the early 19th century.
A 3d rendering in Google Earth of what the earthwork would look like if it was plucked back down in its historic location today. We look northwest toward the intersection of S High St and Mound St, a conical mound with a flat top rises 40 ft above the intersection, as tall as nearby buildings on the northeast corner of the intersection. With a diameter of 300 ft, the mound covers the entire modern intersection and more, filling the entry plaza of the Franklin County Courthouse and 1/3 of Dorian Commons.

Built by convict labor in 1830, the Ohio State Penitentiary housed nearly 4 times as many people as it was designed for by its centenary. Rather than institute a parole system, the state finally began to expand it, but a fire broke out on the scaffolding on April 21, 1930, this day 95 years ago.

"The Gates of Hell shall not stand."
Neither shall the gates of COCET.
An insert from Bosch's Christ Breaking Down the Gates of Hell, depicting Jesus weilding the cross as a staff using it to push the gates of hell off their hinges, demons crushed by the falling doors.

"Go and do likewise."
3 panels from Evan Dahm's The Harrowing of Hell. In the first, gaunt figures imprisoned in hell say "The King of glory, the King ransoms us from the power of the grave!" On the second and third the pierced hands of Jesus break prison bars and chains.

For the last few months folks in my local Columbus neighborhood facebook group have been complaining about mysterious booms. I heard one of the first ones, thought it was a transformer exploding. I haven't heard one since.
Turns out Columbus was hearing mysterious booms all the way back in 1873
WHAT WAS IT? The Good People of Columbus, Ohio, Frightened Out of Their Beds - They Don't Know What to Make of It Columbus, Ohio, Jan 6. 0 At 11:40 o'clock on Saturday night the citizens in some parts of this city were aroused by a low rumbling noise, as of distant thunder, accompanied by three detonations that shook houses, rattled furniture, and caused general alarm. Many persons left their beds in search of supposed burglars, and others to the street to learn the particulars of what they supposed was some boiler explosion. Up to last evening a diligent inquiry in all part of the city failed to discover the reason for the shock, and many believe that it was caused by an earthquake.
