never gonna recover from the evangelical pastors who are being told by their flock that Jesus is too woke

A quote from a Newsweek article:

"Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching—'turn the other cheek'—[and] to have someone come up after to say, 'Where did you get those liberal talking points?'" Moore said.

"When the pastor would say, 'I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ' ... The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak," he added. "When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we're in a crisis."

I used to joke that one day we would reach a point where Being The Good Guy At All is considered Woke but I stopped making that joke when it became clear that the writing was all over the walls.

these are the same people that made a comically hard shift with far cry 5 to completely defang its politics after the 2016 election, i'm sure.

yeah, but the problem is that almost no one outside of the political sicko circles sees this stuff.

I'd love to know what percentage of the country is blissfully unaware of this stuff, b/c I bet it's staggeringly high. You have to be active in particular pockets of social media to know any of this

she's getting an honorary degree from the Kiss School of Music Grifting for this one

from the article, " The Life of a Showgirl, she promised, was fully complete. But then on Saturday night, another
cOuntdown appeared on her website, and at the end of it, she announced .. four additional CDs of the same album that fans could buy. These versions cost $7.99 apiece and each includes two "exclusive" acoustic versions of songs on the album. That means that in addition to the songs on the album, Swift also recorded eight acoustic versions, but you can only hear them if you purchase each of the four CDs. She didn't lie, technically. There are no new songs on these CDS-just an opportunity for her to make even more money."

this is the funniest article I've read about One Battled After Another. You gotta think some of these nerds were sweating bullets by the end and worrying that someone would lock the theater on them and burn it to the ground

from the Hollywood Reporter:

Conservatives Take Aim at One Battle After Another:"Year's Most Irresponsible Movie While Paul Thomas Anderson's film is being heralded as a masterpiece by many, some conservatives accuse it of potentially inspiring left-wing violence.

I stopped listening to NPR after Trump got elected the first time because I felt like they downplayed the gravity of his nomination and subsequent election, and they have done nothing but validate that decision ever since

President Trump is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on illegal immigration.

I know it's just inflammatory rhetoric, but I really wish someone would ask these people who the "extremists" are on the left, because I can name several actual extremists on the right, but I'm grasping a bit for the left.

Would they answer AOC and Sanders? Bluesky Maoists? Who else they got?

From the linked article:

The conservative actress Patricia Heaton, a Fox News regular, posted a video about big-name podcasters giving a platform to antisemites. “We’re all seeing it,” she said. “Many of us are alarmed.” The left, she argued, coddles its extremists. “Don’t let that happen to the conservative movement,” she pleaded.
