Bible-anity. Not christianity.
The fundamentalists are out and about and struting their stuff.
If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

Presbyterian Church in Ireland 'grieve(s) and 'lament(s)' at its child-protection serious short-comings. It should grieve and lament too over it unChrist-like, unloving high-mindedness to LGBT folk.

Interesting.
A decade ago, Bob Dylan performed a concert for just one person in the audience. It was part of a Swedish social experiment about what it's like to experience group events alone.

I talked to that one person about what it's like to see Dylan sing just for you.

1932 - economist J.M. Keynes thought that those who accumulate vast amounts of money will, eventually, be deemed crazy and will be handed over to 'the specialists in mental disease'.

@nemoloris.bsky.social
a friend just sent me - by email - your so-true and enlightening Facebook review of Tom Paulin's Namanlagh. Thank you. Great stuff.
All my life I've loved the winning company of Paulin's poems.
Namanlagh is a grand wee treasure.

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

Trumpcult to Saudicult: "You're mentioning someone (Khashoggi) that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Dear Humans,

Trump is in a full out panic. He hasn’t posted in 24 hours. It’s time to make him the pedophile formerly known as president. If you could do that God would be so happy.

Love,

God

Joke of the day from Moscow: Russia tried to unveil its first humanoid AI robot, Aidol. Key word: tried. The robot collapsed during its debut, forcing organizers to cut the presentation short. Their rushed attempt to lift the prop only made things worse.
