I see people putting AI in the same bucket as NFTs (speculative technology that will go away when the bubble pops), but I think the internet is the better comp. Sure there's some early bubble-y activity, but the underlying technology is real it's going to dramatically change things.

The GOP cut funding to the IRS because *audits work* and they fundamentally don't believe rich people should have to play by the rules.

James Medlock@jdcmedlock.bsky.social

One day I hope to convince conservatives that we should enforce the rule of law, reduce the deficit, and not carelessly tear down the institutions prior generations built, but today is not that day.

ms.nowTrump aides explore attaching president’s name to Ford’s TheatreThe playhouse where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated has been mentioned among federal properties that could carry the president’s name, people familiar with the effort told MS NOW.

To be fair, it was sort of baffling for President Ford to name the theater after himself in the first place.

This is true but they also often make you sign a very detailed and specific “statement of faith“ as soon as you get into leadership. A very odd esoteric structure that leaves people not realizing the church they attend is actually a very specific kind of Calvinist, for example.

This post is unavailable.

These statements are likely going to be kind of mess and maybe a hodgepodge of theological positions because they are just exactly the main pastor’s personal positions on every major doctrinal question. The lack of public-facing scrutiny only heightens the pressure to conform or leave.

That these churches operate as little fiefdoms for one guy fits them in perfectly with the social structure of the rural and suburban places they inhabit. That one guy is absolutely going to be chummy with the local car dealership owner or a beverage distributor or farm owners

*whispers* he would have been right to do so

I'd almost describe the Odyssey, thematically, as a *conservative* critique of the kind of overpowering, violent, grasping masculinity of the chuds and the far right - that revels in cruelty to strangers, in aggression and war crimes and dominance. Absolutely fascinating.
