So, the diss track is a long-established genre?

Ea-Nāşir's perfidy seems eternal!

Comic

Panel one. Stick finger singing, "Raindrops on rose/ And whiskers on kittens."

Panel two. Same stick figure holding pot and singing, "Bright copper kettles leave/ ...Flakes on my mittens!?"

Panel three. Same figure still holding pot and singing, "Hey, these are stone with a copper veneer!"

Fourth panel. Same stick figure has put down pot and is singing, "I've been bamboozled by Ea-Nāşir!"

Does “antifa” sound too radical to you? You might find “anti-monarchist” to be a better fit.

Please note that this not a dialog that actually happened. Just what I imagine her response would be if anyone had the bluntness to ask her that question.

I was deeply saddened to learn that my own bishop did not sign last week’s ELCA bishops’ letter. But I’m grateful that it was issued, and that so many other bishops did.

Spoiler alert: I think we’re in trouble.

This is the 50th anniversary of the debut of Saturday Night Live, which began my long junior-high nightmare of having people explain to me on Monday the absurd jokes that they, but not I, got to watch on Saturday.

My bedrock political principle is that every person deserves the opportunity to thrive. Alongside that, I believe that we all do better when we all do better.

The details of how we make those things happen may be complicated. But if we can’t start there, we’re in trouble.

We need to start making tricorne hats for those inflatable frogs.

I once heard someone say, “I don’t care about your orthodoxy. Show me your orthopraxy.”

Too bad there aren’t lemon laws for bodies.

“Senator Collins, as chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, how concerning is it to watch this administration completely usurp Congress’s appropriations responsibilities?”

“My staff are drafting a strongly worded letter as we speak.”

I’ve been half-assed following the NWSL for a few years, and found women’s rugby just in time for the World Cup. After watching a bunch of RWC games, I gotta say: good officiating is possible, and the NWSL needs to find it.
