The young woman calling church is asking about baby formula is setting them up for Internet trashing. The audio is edited. What's often missing is the redirect to local services because most churches don't have formula in their pantry. It's a stunt and a shakedown. @histoftech.bsky.social

Yeah…..please don’t call random churches and pretend to be starving to “see if they help starving people.” This is not the hot take you think it is.

Being a woman priest is just being told this every day by some jerk on the internet and, on occasion, by your colleagues.
as a thought exercise for everyone reading ross douthat's latest missive in the NYT, i want you to think about sending an email to your entire company with the subject line "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?", then think about the over/under on the number of minutes/hours you would still be employed

Did Women of Valor Ruin the Workplace?
I tried to buy some real estate, but by the time I considered it, she already considered it AND bought it AND planted a vineyard there by her own labors. And whenever I complain to HR, her loins are girded with strength and her arms strengthened with might.

Ok, I had to stop and do other things, after I got to “more women being vets meant private equity took over, which surprisingly hasn’t led to the collapse of society, but has been bad for animals” part. I continue to insist that these people have never met another human being in their entire life.

For years, but especially for the past year, Democrats have been in thrall to the idea that they need to chase an imagined median voter, and adopt that voter’s positions. Mamdani’s victory shows another way: hold principles, and persuade people to share them.
