Not Christian and one reason is that evangelicalism has forsaken radical morality for conformity. I imagine that this is what Christianity looked like when it was a response to the oppression of its time.

If you're going to follow something as an act of Faith like fuckin do something with it.

I'm also adding a rider that declares for the record that Monica did not break up with me before senior prom. I broke up with her. And she was the one who cried about it.

Rep. Buddy Carter: "Donald Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. That's why I'm introducing a resolution today that will honor him with the Nobel Peace Prize."

I really don't care about the Nobel Peace prize. I never know who any of those people are anyway.

Probably coincidental, but the last Dean at my institution who kicked off her tenure this way ended up fired after the first semester for faking her credentials.

There is a style of management which does this, almost entirely defined by its lack of sufficient theory of mind to understand how other people would react to this.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Prince's Let's Go Crazy might as well be a tribute to the B52s. I bet Fred tears this one up in the shower.

Bryan Dawson is a shady attention-seeking piece of shit, but 90% of people around here don't even know his name, and there is absolutely no way this is not a hoax.

Alabama church vandalized before Turning Point USA event: ‘It’s not Jesus’ way,’ pastor says

Reminds me of when I was a kid in the 80s and the music director at church would do a "contemporary" solo with the canned background music.

Lots of bad 1/8 note vibrato.

The AI enthusiasts conflate hating a job with hating one's work. But the work I do brings me great satisfaction. Now the job that comes with it, the mgmt, the have to do it or I can't pay my bills part - that shit can go to hell. But the work is me and the part I like. Don't take that from me.

One of my favorite opinion genres is "conservative dork figures something out decades late and writes a column expressing his astonishment."

Good case for the late Jason Molina. Real poetry. Vivid evocative stuff. Not even my favorite genre by a long stretch but the man makes me cry.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

Epidemic in teaching - mostly on the assumption that "students will do it anyway" and again, What do you think my fucking job is? Like Simon, I would rather put a gun in my mouth than "teach" a student to use a computer to do their thinking for them.
