From more than a decade of experience as a parish priest I can tell you that people act out in toxic ways precisely when they feel most powerless, and that is what’s happening on this website.

If it’s the real NRSV (not NRSVUE) don’t burn them send them to me.
Some dork evangelical online is telling people to burn NRSV bibles because theyre woke and like folks this is 2026 american evangelicalism. Burning bibles because you dont get that masc plural in greek & hebrew can mean a mixed gender group, and based on lies about the translation 😭 📕

Nothing but love for this GenX king. At 54 he has massive courage and the kind of hip mobility I can only dream of.
Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text.

Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.

This is a famously messy Norwegian biathlete who was banned in 2023 from the Biathlon World Cup because he accidentally fired his competition rifle in his hotel room (he was also teary and apologetic then)
new most bizarre moment of the Olympics just dropped

Norwegian biathlete wins bronze medal, then, totally unprompted, reveal he cheated on his GF, she left him, and he wants to apologize publicly hoping she takes him back

If Bad Bunny can cover the history of Puerto Rico, colonialism, transatlantic slavery, hemispheric consciousness, as well as contemporary life and politics in under 14 minutes, you can do your 15- or 20-minute conference presentation with time to spare.

It is very funny that Elon talks about building a city on Mars or a city on the Moon when we all know him building a city in Indiana would be an unmitigated disaster

My first real day back in the office was a mixed success-got really winded after 3 hours. I‘m cutting my office hours way back during Lent while I’m in cardiac rehab. For Lent I guess I’m giving up my own sense of my indispensability & trusting that church will happen without me.

starting to feel like there's a direct relationship between the growing obsession with lifestyle hygeine (no drinking, no caffeine, no sex, obsessive working out and looksmaxxing) and the inability to meaningful moral stands on issues of actual import
Cafes across the U.S. are embracing the low- and no-caffeine lifestyle, with options that are a far cry from dusty tea bags and rewarmed decaf. nyti.ms/3XKlqoj

I think we’re going to get tired of hearing about elephants in the room at this Synod (and it hasn’t even started yet, we’re still in Convocation).
