i wrote about empathy, the recent push by some conservative leaders to retcon it into a vice, and what i think they're really afraid of.

A recent book tries to make the case that empathy is leading Christians astray. What it really reveals is a fear of losing power.

A guy my wife and I went to college with wrote a piece on God using the inefficiencies in the Old Testament law to help the poor, but also teach the wealthy. An aspect I don't think I'd ever considered. Good short read!

BLACK HISTORY MONTH
This is the 1979 first solo story of The Falcon.
💥
Top 10 Comic Books will be released Sunday morning!

Get ready for a thread, cause this comic changed EVERYTHING! The story was ok but the representation of black people, here, was insulting enough for someone to write in.

Life has been rough this month. My mom had shoulder surgery and the same day my dad had a stroke. He has now been in the hospital twice. Finally life has slowed enough I can get back to building my Lego X-Mansion! We got my son the D&D set, so we are sitting at the kitchen table building together!
