Point me to where you show your work on this one, please? I will evaluate your position as impartially as I can. I can see some beef with their work, but bottom of the heap? Love Seger, generational rock star, and that's all I'll say about that. Genuinely curious,

The first four (or does the hyphenated word count as two) words of this article are why I love you, man. I can hear them in my head coming out of my radio, in YOUR voice. I always enjoy your pieces, and I'm really glad you're here.

I'm proud that our Women's Auxiliary met with the "right" attorneys in Roe v.Wade and wrote the first amicus brief for that lawsuit. This year we opened The Truth Pregnancy Resource Center, unlike crisis pregnancy centers, we provide out-of-state abortion resources, and contraceptive support. 4/5

Doctrine is a list of beliefs, the approved interpretation, the creed, the dogma. Unitarian Universalism is creedless. We don’t have doctrine.
We believe that religion isn’t about what you believe. Religion is about how you live: the ethics and values that guide your life. 3/?

“Love is the doctrine of this church.
The quest for truth is it sacrament
And service is its prayer.
To dwell together in peace
To seek knowledge in freedom
To serve humankind in fellowship
Thus do we covenant.”

At our Universalist Unitarian church, we pray "God of many names, and mystery beyond all naming, and it's not uncommon to hear someone say goddess bless, if there's a sneeze. We don't believe in hell, and don't promise heaven, because we're rationally spiritual, and you can't prove that stuff 1/?

Many people could stand to hear that ours is a rational spirituality that doesn't necessarily believe in any religious tome being the "God's honest truth" but that many faiths have tried. We don't promise heaven, because we can't prove it and we try to make the brief time w

Bummer, I’ll let her know. Maybe there’s a simple fix. She already saw my tweet inviting her to come over (shiver even thinking about the bad place). I’d bet there’s a contractual obligation to keep it working as part of displaying it.

Nice alt but what the hell does that actually say? I know the trick but that caption on the photo sounds like AI slop.

I’m intend to check it out, being from Texas means it might be a minute; we’ve got a fight in our hands right now. She’s really cool too, I was lucky to be randomly invited to a gallery opening of hers and she was there talking and hanging about. She’s not here yet but I tweeted at her to come over

They have some good silhouettes, my Watch Jacket is a prime example, though the arms are too long so I fold them in one cuff. Wish there was a good way to tailor, keeping the original features without breaking the bank. This isn't me, but it fits about the same (except I'm short).

I'm gutted over this. I have a six-year-old, and have inquired of the ACLU if I have standing to head up a lawsuit. Always enjoyed your particular brand of crazy, since the Jalopnik days, and glad to see you are not shying away from calling out the real crazies today.
