i wouldn’t call Home Run chicago-style, but it is technically chicago born.

we can all agree this is trying too hard, at least

the snacks/CPG world is always bonkers, often weird, sometimes amazing, kinda like weapons prototypes (i am not sure if i will try these tbh)

it has been a low-simmering schadenfreude for me

“Feminism- the radical notion that women are people.”

I’ve enjoyed what I’ve read, but I’m not all the way to “language determines thought and experience”, I think it’s kinda messier than that? Thought and language and experience kinda dance with each other, but that’s my medium-slob takeaway

for sure! it’s not especially common in the US, but I am very much a fan of “High Church” Lutheran liturgy, and love the traditional forms. I just also would like women to be allowed to minister and trans folks to be welcomed more, haha

Some of the main reasons why I’ve alighted on constructive postmodernism as my sturdy rock in the seas is that it gives me a way to understand complexity and plural perspectives in a way that doesn’t let me do the “old school single-brain hissy fit” that illiberal reaction does and insist on itself.

Damn skippy. Love is what makes most the things men do worth while, we are better when we’re lovers of life and each other

good question! i’m in an ELCA church, but I’m still a bit of a square peg to even liberal Christian notions, by my estimation. not quite “Lutheran who respects psychedelics”, but not not that either, lol

Forgot how great this album is

if you’re ever worried you spend too much time on your phone, you can just go to an airport and encounter the rest of humanity and learn just how far away you are from the worst cases

i already bought a Kadri Avs jersey last time, never in my wildest dreams did I think we’d be so back

for sure! and also, the helpless horror of seeing someone doing something deadly and fucking stupid, even when you tell them not to, it’s one of the worst feelings I’ve ever known.

tbh if she had gotten on she would have probably been so embarrassing it might have alarmed some more Democrats and liberal lawyers sooner, but that’s rank speculation by me

this is a great q, and I don’t recall her having a testimony to a “born again” moment, but also some Black churches absolutely carry the evangelical values. But i don’t believe historical black churches are included in the op-ed’s use of the term.

One of the longest running threads in my adult life, after leaving the Religious Right, has been watching my grounded secular liberal friends and institutions look at the glossy Pop Christian stuff as intellectually embarrassing (which it is), all the while watching it continue to persist.

This is 100% true, but only as long as we realize that modern evangelical fundamentalists have a world-class tradition of woo, influencers, telecom entertainment, and targeting elite members of society.

get their ass, John!

“Antonin Scalia dying at a rich Texan’s quail hunting ranch, things of this nature”

the agreement as long as I’ve been alive has been “the kooky rich oil guys will pay for the Dorky Papists to do our deregulatory work in the courts, because all the Oral Roberts and Baylor people are kinda embarrassing”

This is gonna be my last post on this guy, it’s just not worth it, and I’m sorry to be so old and remember things but I don’t see anyone mentioning that the GOP tried to nominate a born-again type to the Supreme Court, and her name was Harriet Miers, and even Republicans told GWB “yeah, lol, no”

something that I’m not sure can ever be proven, but I wonder about, is how much the hierarchy of Linnaeus and his age was “euphoric/naive cataloguing w/in the hierarchy of God” vs “grim avarice and social stigma in new clothing”. in any case, extremely reformable/removable.

This site is for intrusive and stupid thoughts, so let me just say: Palmer Luckey out here lookin' Straight Doonesbury. My man on that Zipper-Zonker Harris wave. Ignorable has-been, on purpose.

Grimm's ordering is good, to me.

this is good comms -- reintegrating, believe the person capable of the change, willing to talk to them as participants with stakes in the game, etc.

yeah, the mechanism of uhh coercion makes most sense to me with the people who are Frauds and their abetters, not the people who are stupid. punishing people for being undiscerning or hornswaggled by a snake oil person, just doesn't track to me.
