Just a random Chicago sports fan who also happens to be a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. I usually go by he/him but won't be offended if you just call me "that idiot over there."

Rams need to have a long talk with the decision makers that insisted they didn't even need 48 hours in Australia before playing a football game.
Rams' 20-point loss is worse than any they had last year. This offensive performance was worse than any they had last year (EPA per drive). And Matthew Stafford's individual performance was worse than any he had last year (EPA per pass play). The Jet Lag Game!

Why do we live in the stupidest timeline?
Just to review today: The Dept of Ed made a post saying they were just like Hitler. Ted Cruz had a retweet of an account named ‘Ted Cruz’s Tiny Penis’ The WH posted a screen shot of an eagle on top of a Canadian goose but in the video the goose wins. Trump made a ‘Mission Accomplished’ post on

You’ve got to understand the WNBA’s dilemma here: on one side are the hardcore, dedicated socially liberal fanbase who supported the league during the dark days when it was barely profitable and on the other side are the people who hate women and don’t think the WNBA should exist.
“The WNBA will not institute a league-wide ban on Freedom, according to a source with knowledge of the decision.” They are trying to lose me and it’s going to work the way this is going.

here is the thing. if you tell me that you believe that race is a biological category and that it is a guide to the objective superiority and inferiority of groups of people, i am not calling you a racist to *insult* you, i am calling you a racist because it best describes your beliefs.
Bread and Circuses, but make it even worse for the environment.
The national debt just hit $40 trillion, gas is $4 a gallon, personal bankruptcies are at an all-time high, mortgage rates are up, GDP growth is terrible, we are stuck in another endless Middle East conflict, but the Republican Party is focused on ballrooms and car races.

California 🤝 @anthropic.com We're entering a partnership to strengthen cybersecurity and provide Claude to state agencies at a discount. The Golden State helped build Silicon Valley — and every Californian should benefit from the responsible use of their latest innovations.

I'm sure Mike is posting this for no reason in particular...
From Star Trek episode “Bread and Circuses” Written by Gene Roddenberry and Gene Coon. First aired, Mar 15, 1968 “Victory or death? And for which of them? Well, ladies and gentlemen, you know as much about that at this moment as I do because this is your program. YOU name the winner!”

The thing about “USAID is a tool of soft power” is that it’s true, but ripping out all of that aid is also murder. The solution isn’t just getting rid of USAID. It’s replacing it with direct, unconditional reparations for colonialism and underdevelopment.
Through an innovative program, parents in Senegal had easy access to a therapeutic food that's a boon for malnourished kids. Now there are shortages. Health specialists say U.S. aid cuts are to blame.

Don't hate-watch these - a view is a view for streaming platforms. Ignore them, let them rot away with low engagement. It's one of the earlier tests to prove that people (hopefully) just do not want AI-generated animated shows. Shame on The Book of Life's creator for selling out too, what a blow.
Three AI animated series are heading to Prime Video streaming via Amazon MGM/AWS-backed GenAI Creators' Fund: 'Cupcake & Friends;' 'Love, Diana Music Hunters;' and 'Punky Duck' from Jorge Gutierrez.
"Perfectly" is not a term I would consider using for a physical, and I'm in mostly okay health.
Dr Jonathan Reiner: "One other interesting thing I noted was that when the president left Walter Reed, he posted that he had a perfect '6 month physical.' So we're changing from a routine yearly physical to, I guess as a nod to his age, a 6 month cycle for evaluations."

NEW — My first true foray into AI haterdom is about how those of us not convinced by AI’s inevitability are a real constituency worthy of a voice. Give it a read:
It's almost as if telling students who just spend tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to train for a career in myriad industries that their labor is being devalued and deprioritized is unpopular. Hm.
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed throughout this commencement speech at the University of Arizona for his praise of AI. This comes just a week after another commencement speaker who mentioned AI was booed at a school in Florida. Read more: www.404media.co/ucf-ai-comme...
"The Christian Nationalists who have a victim complex are trying to silence the influence and voice of anybody not them, and I'm perfectly okay with that" - Mike Johnson, probably.
Mike Johnson: "The naysayers who have created this new term 'Christian nationalism' as a pejorative, a derogatory term, are trying to silence the influence and voices of Christians, and I think that's wildly inappropriate."
