Rob @robb-s.bsky.social, did the @relmedcentre.bsky.social quote you accurately below? If so, could you say more about why you are now more confident in the overall story of an upsurge of churchgoing in England and Wales?

This is a great piece by my colleague spencer on the bad bunny helftimeshow but of course there’s never been a more divisive idea in American history than all of us being American, we fought a civil war over it and Trump is nothing if not manifest opposition to it www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...
Wonderful description of "the life of kings" and why so many continue to pursue this adventure despite the knaves and imbeciles who so often run the business:

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."
Noem: "He intentionally drove his vehicle into that agent ... oh wait those are my notes from last time."
I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.
This was such a fun and insightful conversation! @blairbraverman.bsky.social is as great a writer as she is a musher -- and that's saying something!
BTW I walked past the Balto statue in Central Park the other night, frigid like the Yukon, it was. Reminded me that I asked Blair: Balto or Togo?
