Happy birthday to @anniecait.bsky.social. Brilliant nurse, birth worker, mom, neighbor, teacher, spouse, rabble rouser. Makes me so much smarter and reminds me every day of what we're fighting for.

Still looking for a good business history of coiners. Brunton's is more of a prehistory

in case you missed this, @wsj.com reported that Trump is — or is trying to at least — direct Pam Bondi via social media DMs, and that when he posted demanding the Comey indictment, it was an accident

The argument above and in the OP is that there is a parallel culture industry for evangelicals that interprets the Bible for them. This far precedes ChatGPT. Many denominations still read the Bible together without ChatGPT. I was at a small country Baptist church in VA doing so two weeks ago.

You guys would not believe the insane structure of the book I had in mind before I was talked down. The phrase "4x postmodern anthropology" was tossed around.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

I'm not sure it's ironic! Kind of the logical extreme. "My relationship with god is so personal and private that I needn't even bother with the Bible."

This is why my cousins weren't allowed to read, eg, Harry Potter. The magic is whatever but the real fear is that containment will be breached.

Absolutely the case. It's a mass media phenomenon, just a different mass media from what everyone else likes (which angers them to no end). The titanic chintz of the megachurch is replicated in books, movies, tv, MLMs, camps, etc. The Bible is more a source of authority than a piece of the program.

Jess Calarco @jessicacalarco.com · 5h

Based on the interviews I've done with conservative Evangelical moms, I'd say--a lot of them aren't engaging with the Bible directly. They're reading Evangelical self-help and parenting books like Your Best Life Now and Growing Kids God's Way that selectively interpret the Bible for them.

If the problem is labor force replenishment then it solves the problem. If the problem is the tension between old white childless people and young multiracial parents then it does not solve the problem.

Watching antisocial driver behavior in the school drop-off line makes it really clear that the pandemic destroyed whatever few shreds remained of the social compact, just pathological selfishness on display every day

people on here apparently need to learn a lesson most of us learn in elementary school, which is that it’s fucking rude to correct people on zero stakes things and doing so leads rightfully to social ostracism

Right and this isn't even a concrete service offered in trade, it's just bigger or smaller numbers on their respective tax bills
