damn this fascist ideology to hell, and damn the blasphemous theologies that support it
The White Christian Supremacism of this administration is so extreme that it seems like it’s got to resolve with either a massive rejection of such illiberalism, or a violent, authoritarian imposition of it.

Lincoln’s original proclamation of Thanksgiving Day from 1863 doesn’t really go into colonist-native relations, but it does recommend “humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience.” www.battlefields.org/learn/primar...

there is so much to be glad of, to be grateful for.
the times are evil, the future is uncertain at a fundamental level, the powers of sin and death stand arrayed against all that which seeks the good of this world and those who live in it.
and there is still so much to be glad of.

Gratitude is more than an emotional state. It’s a twofold recognition: that something is *good*, and that that good something is not solely the result of your own efforts or deserving

This post and the subsequent replies are, and I mean this as a compliment, *extremely* good propaganda especially for the short video documentary age. Come learn some things.
As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.
Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news:
They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

in my own experience only, as LLMs get “better,” all I am seeing is the production of texts that are just as wrong as they ever were, in ways that are just as fatally bad, but which now appear more consistently plausible to someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about
