Sooo I was at a coffee shop and the girl in line behind me decided to ask if I’d heard about Jesus.
In the United States.
In 2025.
“I have heard the sales pitch, yes,” I said. “I’m happy with my current religious services provider and not looking to make a switch.”

If I had to give one piece of relationship advice to young women who are attracted to men, it would be to only date men you think would be fine with you making more. Nothing wrong with him making more or even you being a stay at home mom. But if he'd be triggered by you making more, he's a loser.
I don't know how many girls got psyoped into thinking being strong and independent was loser shit and the tradwife life was all fun and games, but any number above zero is too many.

my takeaway is the fact our fancyboy class is more incestuous than charles II of spain and even the ones who aren't directly in the files are, like, 1 degree of separation tops from someone who is

“Stay angry, little Meg,” Mrs Whatsit whispered. “You will need all your anger now.”
"Okay I get that," Meg whispered back, "but I've been angry for over a decade straight and my arteries are basically solid carbon fiber at this point. Do I ever get a freakin' break?"

bishops should never be putting their bodies on the line
they should be putting their bodies on the long diagonal, ideally fianchettoed on the B or G file, to undermine the opponent's occupation of the center

NEW: I spoke with this bishop, who offered more context for his (entirely unprepared!) remarks.
Turns out other bishops (e.g., in MN) agree with him, and he recalled the moment he told local priests to get their wills in order.
“There was a little gasp,” he said. religionnews.com/2026/01/15/t...

You’ll never guess but the solution to people not having money is to give them money.
"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."
A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

Introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you:
I think they were going to name me Ellen (after one of my mother's great aunt.) I would *probably* been happy with it, as I was with my deadname, but I'm glad I chose the name I did, some 30-odd years after using it for a D&D character.

I would have been Morgan Rebecca, which my parents ended using for my sister.
Since it my sister's name, it's not a hypothetical I could ever identify with.

Introduce yourself with the name your parents ALMOST gave you.
I was going to be Jennifer Joy.
I don't mind either name, but both together make me feel like I was meant to be Pinkie Pie. As much as I love her as a character, I was made to be Twilight or Fluttershy.
