We're still doing Jesus vs. Paul I guess?

60% of Americans live Cheesecake Factory to Cheesecake Factory.

This was how we was rolling pre-Trent.

should I reach levels of cozy previously unimaginable?

corny as hell to take Schleiermacher’s subtitle

not a big deal. I did well at pub trivia once and tell people I passed a bar exam

Kimberly Giulfoyle is right for America because she represents our one of our deepest values: crippling SUV debt

I have it on good authority that James Talarico was absent from the campaign for nine days because he checked himself into Union Theological Seminary, where he underwent intensive training in more social gospel talking points

kids thought adding 200 mega lucario cards to the grocery list would work

as a Cubs fan 😞

public executions by an authoritarian admin speak volumes about shifting ideas of sovereignty, discipline, and the sacred. In this case, those shifts are perilous

non-religious people on this site think I’m Catholic. Catholics know I’m an annoying lib prot. Evangelicals think I’m non-religious. I’ve found a nice niche

saw a rights advocacy NGO post a job for “death penalty volunteer.” Has to be a better title…

I won’t let Big Stupid convince me not to read a book on the train wtf. Also, if you read Gadamer nobody will be interested enough in you to call it performative

fascism arrived against an “imminent” threat of revolution from the left. The symbolism here says clearly what others spend too much time debating

Vance tells Angie Nixon to leave America and “you don’t belong here.” Such rhetoric is so common from this admin it makes the news for half a day

Hegelian don corleone: “look how they negated my negation”

mf reads the Phaedrus once and…

Cubs-White Sox World Series and Pope Leo throws out the first pitch

with all due disrespect, you have to be functionally illiterate (in English and Greek) to read the gospels and get anything resembling muscular Christianity

I’ll pay for it. Me, I will.

me: “your crypto-erotic hangups are not our issue.” them: “watch us make it your issue”

Transparent cash grab by these losers. They included the pastor who famously malfunctioned for hours after he had a waitress who wore yoga pants. Basically disturbed individuals with podcast equipment religionnews.com/2026/09/24/t...

simply making fun of meta glasses, calling them “pervert glasses,” is why Zuck is sheepishly retreating for the moment. Nice to see

STOP ASKING YOUR SON "HOW WAS SCHOOL." HE'LL SAY "FINE" EVERY SINGLE TIME. A CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST TOLD ME TO REPLACE IT WITH THESE 3 QUESTIONS INSTEAD: “What can I know?” “What should I do?” “What may I hope?”

also, certain aspects of Rawls can be almost spiritual practices if you take them seriously. Liberalism as a way of life

years ago I shed the veil’s more technical implications and view it as basic political empathy. Too many arguments boil down to “if I look like X, have history Y, and/or believe Z, I should occupy a different level in society”

they don’t know optimization culture is deeply inhumane

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

AI is causing “cognitive surrender”? As a Platonist I reached that point years ago

I can’t believe somebody yelled “give us a thumbs up!” And an aid defensively responded “he already did”

Schmitz is our least talented and most tendentious cultural commentator. Another masterpiece where he exactly misdiagnoses the events he’s observing Ella Langley. ‘Landman.’ The Rural Vibe Shift Is Real. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/13/o...

re the Sydney Sweeney ad: have any American celebrities or sports stars decried the scourge of betting like Mbappé has?

“AI will kill us all” is just another secularized eschatology. Just as likely you’ll live 500 years absorbing AI slop 24/7 and there will be advertisements in your dreams

Barron’s dishonest eristics often work like this. Notice the subtle merger of empathy as “feeling with others” with “never hurting feelings.” Empathy is the former, not the latter. He combines them so he can pretend empathy is not a supreme gospel value, which it obviously is

You could say Kant was “sleepmaxxing” before he read Hume

the corporate mindfulness retreat got too real, now the colleagues are escaping suffering through renunciation of all craving
