Pumpkin Spice Epistle To The Colossians
You know what, I’m not even mad, it takes a special kind of hubris to mock people for praying over meals while you’re speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast
Trump: "Mike Johnson is a very religious person. He does not hide it. He'll say to me sometimes at lunch, 'Sir, may we pray.' I'll say, 'Excuse me? We're having lunch.'"

We built this city on rock and roll

We built this town on bluegrass

We built this suburb on Top 40 pop

We built this alley on punk

We built this village on bardcore folk

We built this dukedom on classical

We built this club on funk

But the world? … We built this world on jazz

Thank you

Yelling the “Big And Sexy” song out of my window at 4 AM. This is important for visitors to the monastery, so they can feel comfortable in case they come from a place where someone yells the “Big And Sexy” song out of their window at 4 AM.

The first time I ever heard George Carlin’s “Seven Dirty Words”
routine was a clip in an interview on NPR.

The announcer demurely assured us, “We have, of course, obscured the offending words.”

Somehow that routine doesn’t hit nearly as well when it’s the “Seven Long Bleeps”.

Hey Jude, Jude Bombadillo,
Take a sad song by reed and willow,
Remember to harken now and hear us,
Our need is near us, to make it better.

Na na na ring a ding dol,
Ring a ding dol, Hey Jude

I certainly don’t think I uploaded a video to YouTube called “eight hours of relaxing white noise to fall asleep to“ except at a random point all the noise stops and it’s just the sound of a baby laughing and then it goes back to normal like nothing happened. That doesn’t sound like me.

“Okay,” said the man,
“But what about the time
When there were *no* footprints
In the sand?”

“Oh,” said the Lord,
“That was the time
When we both got rescued
By Superman!
He can fly, yknow!”

“We watched Melania so you don't have to” No you didn’t. I already didn’t have to, and neither did anyone else. This is on you. Leave me out of it.

The wonderful thing about Tyggers
Is Tyggers are burning bright
Their tops are made out of rubber
In the forest of the night

What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Immortal hand or eye
Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers,
Their fearful symmetry!

We apologize for the brief suspension of @dril.bsky.social. While our automoderation tool correctly identified that he 'knew too much,' we regret the error.

ME: No, he’s doing a bit.
BOSS: Hm. I don’t know

This. Obviously not all christians etc etc but enough of them in positions of power
One of the worst annoying Christian tricks is when we go “the Bible makes it clear that [literally the exact opposite of the words of the verse we’re quoting], so if you don’t believe that you deny the Bible!”
