What I mean when I say I am praying for someone else is just that I have been telling God about the intense concern I have about them and the love, and letting that love feel connected to God and other people's love for them.

Here's my bud Dusty, being his goofy, intensely earnest & loving self.

In or about 2017, Jack Posobiec told his followers that he “worked closely” w/ the Oath Keepers. (h/t @michaelehayden.bsky.social) More recently, he’s glorified Francisco Franco, Spain’s deceased murderous dictator. Naturally, Trump included him in his recent anti-“antifa” roundtable. Sound on. 1/

The right wing is coming for Wikipedia

The Heritage Foundation says it will "identify and target" Wikipedia editors over alleged bias. What does that mean for Wikipedia’s future?

Atheist proselytizers are the religious proselytizers I’m most likely to come into contact with and they’re just as annoying as all of the other ones I experience

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

They erased us from the textbooks. I’m putting us back in the story.

They buried our truth and hoped we’d stay silent.

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

UPDATE: In emailed statement to me / @reason.com, DHS alleges that WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman "threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer."

Screencap of email from DHS public affairs: Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin:

“U.S. Border Patrol was conducting immigration enforcement operations and when several violent agitators used their vehicles to block in agents in an effort to impede and assault federal officers. In fear of public safety and of law enforcement, officers used their service vehicle to strike a suspect’s vehicle and create an opening. As agents were driving, Deborah Brockman, a U.S. citizen, threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer.

“This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of illegal aliens violently resisting arrest and agitators and criminals ramming cars into our law enforcement officers. These attacks highlight the dangers our law enforcement officers face daily—all while receiving no pay thanks to the Democrats’ government shutdown.”

Peter Thiel has the Grifter Madness. He's so lost in his own sauce that he sees alternative view points, not even opposition, as evil. Everything that makes him rich is good, everything that even express the idea that maybe there's another way is satanic.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 1d

Exclusive: Tech billionaire Peter Thiel warned that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and critics of AI are “legionnaires of the Antichrist” in private lectures that connected government oversight of Silicon Valley to an apocalyptic future.

Inside billionaire Peter Thiel’s private lectures: Warnings of ‘the Antichrist’ and U.S. destruction

In leaked recordings of private lectures by tech billionaire Peter Thiel he argued that “the Antichrist” is likely to take the form of a critic of technology.

Thiel believes the path he's chosen is the only path to a better world. They want to live as techno kings of a fantasy world based on their self serving ideology, and anyone who reminds them that the world they've invented is fake is the enemy, not just of them, but of goodness itself.

I genuinely think that guys like Thiel and Musk are the earliest sufferers of AI psychosis. They're all but explicit inventing a machine to replace human interaction, and that machine is so sycopantic it would make Waylon Smithers blush.

I guess my point is Atheists then were unwilling to grapple with the misogyny in their ranks, and Atheists now are unwilling acknowledge and address the harms it lead to.
