Some things that I’m totally committed to and also totally understand how people find them incredibly off-putting: Christianity, Liberalism, Jazz Fusion, the EU, the state’s claim to monopoly on legitimate violence as such. Missionary kid.

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

great story. reminds me of Thomas Clarkson trying to win a Latin essay contest about 'is it ever right to enslave a man', doing some research, and then being struck by the thunder that his entire life must be spent fighting this evil
I've told this story on ContrabandCamp but it's worth sharing for BHM because it's one of the greatest stories ever.
A thread.

Maybe it’s my chauvinism talking, but I find it interesting that the resistance has been particularly strong and organized in MS. So there’s an old chicken and egg debate in political science whether strong civil society >high trust>strong, impartial institutions, or the other way around 1/x

Europe and India are making history today.
We have concluded the mother of all deals.
We have created a free trade zone of two billion people, with both sides set to benefit.
This is only the beginning.
We will grow our strategic relationship to be even stronger.

A reminder: The inevitable end-product of the Gospel is the destruction of every border and the dissolution of every country. America is temporary. Every country is. A Christian fighting to “save a country” by excusing murder … is a Christian trading the Gospel for a few moments on Caesar’s lap.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

A source confirms to me that this disturbing letter from Trump to the Norwegian PM is real.
Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

What Europe could do is threaten to boycott the World Cup. It won't. But that might actually work. Trump wants his big show.

It's incredibly sad how many (most?) conservative Christians have reduced "Christianity" to mean "patriarchal gender roles." That reduction is the subtext for almost every claim now about how "the culture" needs to be resisted or restored.
