Institutionalized Christianity has been the most dangerous force in the world for 2000 years. A movement founded on “help the poor, help widows and orphans, treat every single human as your neighbor” has been so profaned, so perverted, that it is a mockery of its own purported values.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

@JaredSandler tweeted QOTD Today is the Rangers' final regular season home game of the season. If you could start a fan tradition at Rangers games, what would it be? https://x.com/JaredSandler/status/2103095855574356328

Asking your AI chat bot to “please roast” your perceived adversary is the most Loser Shit in the entire recorded history of humanity

Lora Kolodny@lorak.bsky.social

Elon Musk is using his company's AI chatbot, Grok, to attack Billie Eilish for living in a society, I guess.

Most transphobia, or so it seems to me, is about wanting culturally contingent hierarchies and identity scripts to be Inscribed in Nature in some deep way that obviates the need for reflective examination, and getting very anxious and angry about anything that makes it clear that’s a fantasy.

Eric Columbus@ericcolumbus.bsky.social

The term “transphobic” is so inadequate for bigotry like Hegseth’s. He doesn’t fear trans people like some fear spiders or heights. He hates them with a passion. It’s an evil choice, not a psychological malady.

Ocarina of Time is mostly about the differences between childhood and manhood, which mainly that boils down to having three pairs of shoes that you have to cycle through regularly instead of one.

This works both ways. You bring in older people with this, but young ones too. A fair number of Texans grew up like this, now they have golf clubs. Do they want to let the old man down?

Amazing! What a lovely surprise this is. I thiiiink Eufloria was the first game I ever signed (back in my earliest PlayStation days), kicking off my journey of convincing bigger companies to give a shit about smaller games.

Rudolf Kremers@rudolfkremers.bsky.social

Well, we finally announced Eufloria 2: store.steampowered.com/app/4415060/... My nerves are shredded but I'm relieved. "Ambient intergalactic floral conquest" "Full contact space gardening" Will come with a cool godot-based editor. #indiegames #cozy #rts #strategy #4x #godot

the most annoying thing about the What We Should Have Done With COVID discourse is that the actual viable option to accept more health risk in exchange for less disruption was not to rawdog the plague, it was to push the vaccine wide earlier with worse trial data

North Texas continues to be one of the hotbeds of American fascism

steven monacelli@stevanzetti.bsky.social

In 2022, I noted that Steven Crowder accepted an invitation from a woman in North Texas who has described herself as a Christian Fascist and wondered whether he aligned himself with her group's ideology. Now we don't have to wonder.

my only real take i can muster on the Emily Wilson thing is that she’s looking at the movie with a completely different set of eyes than almost anyone on the planet and there was no world where she would be aligned with most people on it

I am free from marriage! Hell I’m not so sure about.

This story is indeed insane. They literally *discounted his correct answers* (on questions about the Constitution) so that a Trump supporting girl who wants to go to Hillsdale College could win $25K and be televised meeting Trump. So. Gross.

Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social

This story is crazy. It would appear Trump admin officials rigged their nationally televised high school civics contest to keep a young man from a Sikh family out of the finalists. www.notus.org/national/ame...

In violent reaction to the reconfiguration of society into treating women and people of color as equals. It is a desperate, ferocious clinging to what they feel should be a higher status in a 'natural' hierarchy. Because the alternative is the terrifying prospect of being judged by what they do.

The Odyssey is amazing. Plus I learned today that my socials are correct because I never even heard of a boycott. Simply enjoyed a movie.

Max Kennerly@maxkennerly.bsky.social

The Odyssey is probably a good diagnostic test: anyone who thought even for a moment the backlash was real has been brain poisoned by right-wing social media and they should immediately discontinue reading X, Facebook, etc.

You could write a whole thesis on the rhetorical brilliance of the wording "I think California transplants like Ken Paxton can become Texans"
