Theology 101: Despite its flaws, I haven’t forsaken the free church tradition that led me to Christ, discipled me, and supported me through many struggles—for the same reasons I’ve never forsaken my mother who bore me, nurtured me, and still provides wisdom and encouragement.

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

- First of all, the insurance won't cover your toes next time you try something like that. Second, you should have at least asked if it is a good idea to try something like that.
- But boss...
- Love you. Admire your skill! But please look for employment somewhere else.

- Boss, I shaved the poodle with a chainsaw.
- Remarkable skill! I have never seen anything like this. Here is your golden trophy. Also, you are fired.
- But why? The poodle has all ears and toes intact!

Go Playground - The Go Programming Language

A friendly reminder that a Go program doesn't need an import of the "unsafe" package to undermine the language's type system; a synchronisation bug may be enough: go.dev/play/p/L0_Zr...

Theology 101: Temptation is like fire. Fuel it with indulgence, and your passions will rage into a consuming flame. But starve it through resistance, and you’ll snuff out its power over you.

But there is another detail about this jester that I never understood in the book. The jester is a son of a minister, a major Orthodox arch-priest. Now I get it. Please read the book.

The choice of Russian heritage for this jester makes a lot of sence in 1899. The Russian Empire at the time was the ultimate absolute immovable totalitarian state.

He is a renegade Russian youth, who has stiched his garmends so many times that the multicolored patches make him look like a court jester. All he does in the book is praise his "god", crawls at his feet, and announced all his words and actions as acts of a great genius.

The locals worship him, bring him sacrifices, and crawl in his presence.

He has only one European worshipper in his retinue, who has more lines in the book than any other character.

When found, the secret to his great success in procuring ivory is discovered. He had introduced himself as a deity to a local tribe and led them to genocidal wars against other tribes, setting severed heads on pikes around his residence.

The book "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad written in 1899.

The book "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad written in 1899.

Book spotlight, with some spoilers: Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, 1899. The story is a search for a much admired ivory trader who is lost deep into Belgian Free Congo State.

National Review article excerpt. It reads: "On the other hand, when I hear some people accuse immigrants of destroying the American economy and culture and stealing jobs from American citizens, it stirs my anger, too. I can’t stand to hear immigrants described in terms more appropriate to a plague of locusts than human beings. And although I believe they are a small minority, I begin to wonder if some of the people who speak so disparagingly about immigrants would be just as worked up if most of them were coming from Canada."
