The young woman calling church is asking about baby formula is setting them up for Internet trashing. The audio is edited. What's often missing is the redirect to local services because most churches don't have formula in their pantry. It's a stunt and a shakedown. @histoftech.bsky.social

Want to actually help everyone who relies on SNAP? Call your reps. Give to a local food bank.

Most clergy have worked out methods to try to suss out the (rare) con from the genuine need. It DOES NOT HELP when you call and add to the con pile. It just confuses things.

First off, I get the fury against Christians who name drop Jesus and then ignore God’s children. I do. And also! Most of us field these calls every day. People who are actually hurting, ill, desperate, and have nowhere to go and we never have enough to fill the need.

Yeah…..please don’t call random churches and pretend to be starving to “see if they help starving people.” This is not the hot take you think it is.

as a thought exercise for everyone reading ross douthat's latest missive in the NYT, i want you to think about sending an email to your entire company with the subject line "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?", then think about the over/under on the number of minutes/hours you would still be employed

Did Women of Valor Ruin the Workplace?

I tried to buy some real estate, but by the time I considered it, she already considered it AND bought it AND planted a vineyard there by her own labors. And whenever I complain to HR, her loins are girded with strength and her arms strengthened with might.

This is not a good conversation ... and these are unserious people...

Libresco Sargeant: So, I think the essential problem is that there’s a strain of feminism that sees any difference between men and women as a threat to our equality.

You can see this in a variety of ways, something pretty small-scale: There’s a lot of going back and forth on the college level about where the three-point line should be for men's and women’s basketball. Should it be equivalently hard for a man and woman to hit the shot? Or should it be at exactly the same spot, so that no one can say that women aren’t playing as hard?

I don’t actually care that much about basketball, I’ll level with you. But I think that anxiety — that to draw two lines on the court would, in some way, imperil women’s dignity — is wrongheaded.

Ok, I had to stop and do other things, after I got to “more women being vets meant private equity took over, which surprisingly hasn’t led to the collapse of society, but has been bad for animals” part. I continue to insist that these people have never met another human being in their entire life.

Wait til you get to the “3 point line”/ this causes violence to babies of course! Part.

They all had to be drunk. I accept no other explanation. I have never seen so many wrong things all in one place at one time. Was a Say Wrong Things contest? Have we checked on Michael Hobbes? Did the publishing of this just cause him to stroke out?
