That privilege--the privilege to speak of your religious beliefs as certainties that are incontestable--is given to Christians alone in America. And anyone else knows this and tiptoes around it, reflexively.
But what if we stopped doing that, like this guy did in North Dakota?

I produced this album which features grand lyrics about figures such as Emma Goldman, Abbie Hoffman, and the guy who threw his shoe at George W Bush. One of the songs was recorded while we found out Dick Cheney died.
It's a fun time. Check it out.

#Unlearn Please, can we stop being surprised? Neanderthals, and probably their earlier ancestors, were seriously smart and creative, not shambling dolts of 20th-century thinking

Ancient Humans Were Making Fire 350,000 Years Earlier Than Scientists Realized
Making fire on demand was a milestone in the lives of our early ancestors. But the question of when that skill first arose has been difficult for scientists to pin down

Streaming music is a fantastic convenience. However, I feel like it does more harm than good to the arts. So I exclusively listen to music which I've bought.

In late 2020, far right violence was ramping up here in Oregon in tandem with the "stop the steal" nonsense. David Medina, the OR "journalist" who last week embedded w/ Benny Johnson & Kristi Noem, participated in this Dec 21, 2020 invasion of the *Oregon* Capitol Building. bsky.app/profile/seth...
My perceptions of J6 were shaped by living in Salem, Oregon. On December 21, 2020 an angry mob, organized (in hindsight) by local GOP activists, forced their way into the State Capitol, smashing a door. On January 1 those same groups engaged in pitched battle on Salem's streets AGAINST THE POLICE.
Enrique Tarrio wasn’t at J6 because he’d been arrested for a crime committed a month or two earlier. The “stand back and stand by” era featured DC civilians getting beaten up.
