I love AT skiing. Skimo seems to miss what makes AT great, which is farting around in the woods with your pals and maybe a dog or two.

I’m in a different industry, but just had this convo:
Me: I don’t want to use AI in this process my team executes. It makes too many errors.
Boss: Too bad, you’re going to use it.
Me: Who’ll be held accountable for errors/delays the AI causes?
Boss: You own the process, so naturally you will.

I feel great, man. But you know who shares your view that the South’s problems are all the South‘s own making? JD Vance. He wrote a whole dumbass book about it. It’s not company I’d want to find myself in, but then I’m not a fake-ass progressive with a toddler’s understanding of the world.

It is the perfect manifestation of Silicon Valley brain to have encountered the ineffable divine, the prime mover of the universe, the creator, sustainer, and majestic sovereign of all creation, and think to yourself “Imma tell that guy to hurry his ass up.“

I watched “Harlan County USA“ as a kid, and always assumed that Duke Power was one of those evil relics of history like the Pinkertons. Then I moved to the Carolinas and was shocked to learn that, not only were they still around, I’d be buying electricity from them. Felt like a traitor to my people.

“They’re really critical of each other” is more an argument that Jesus *is* a Pharisee (or at least comes out of a Pharisaic context) than not. Internecine conflicts tend to be the most bitter. To borrow OP’s analogy, look at the rift b/w MAGA and Liz Cheney. Hell, they tried to hang Mike Pence.

Nah, I try to always start with “I must not understand what this person is saying.” Saves me from a lot of undignified climbdowns when it turns out I didn’t.

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding you, but Simon the Zealot was one of the twelve apostles. Hard to be more part of the Jesus movement than that.

Also, I’m sure you know this but JIC: There is a school of thought that Judas Iscariot was also a zealot, and his betrayal of Jesus was a misguided act of accelerationalism. Basically he was trying to spark a conflict with Rome that Jesus would be forced to lead as a warrior-king Messiah. (Whoops.)

That’s prob an oversimplification. As a student of Gamaliel, S/Paul obv comes out of the Pharisaic tradition, but (as Wright argues) he lionizes the zeal of Phineas, which manifests in the killing of Jesus’ followers. Prob more accurate to say he sits at the blurry intersection of the two groups.

Also, it doesn’t necessarily bear on your point one way or another, but N.T. Wright makes a pretty compelling case that Saul was a Zealot.

You have your causality exactly backward. The death of tiny towns in Appalachia is the result of a perfect storm of shitty policy choices at the federal level. The resulting lack of economic opportunity means that people have to leave to earn a living, causing massive brain drain.
