Nancy Mace is unwell and fellow Transphobes do not care, they egg her on. It's like a cult in that respect, also in the way it alienates them from friends and family....

Sociopaths never mature past childhood.
“At the end of the day, she’s saying things that are delusional. This basically reminds me of a spoiled brat, an entitled, spoiled brat.”
That makes two new antibiotics to treat this STI and it means a fascinating debate now about how to use these drugs in a way that will delay resistance as much as possible…

Ringo Starr accidentally crashed a gambler’s livestream.
The Beatles drummer pops into the corner of a livestream titled “Airport Gamble Sesh” and asks the streamer if he’s “on the radio.” At one point, Starr gets right up to the camera, apparently trying to make sense of whatever is happening on the stream. The streamer seems to have zero idea who Ringo is while viewers try to tell him in the chat. Starr pretty quickly leaves the area because the streamer keeps coughing and seems to be sick.
“Beatle Ringo?” the streamer asks while reading a comment. “Who is that?”

Hail Freya, it's Friday! Time for a #FridayPaganPoll:
Today I'm wondering what portion of polytheists practice 'devotional polytheism.' This term popped up in pagan spaces fairly recently, within the last decade or so. It's used as a way to differentiate those who are more religious, who say prayers and give regular offerings to their gods, vs. those who believe in many gods and/or spirits, but don't necessarily worship them religiously.
So, what kind of polytheist are you?

What is the name for someone who says: "I consider there is one deity, but many deities, just as there is one humanity, but many humans"?
No idea if I'm a polytheist.
More sure it doesn't matter...
Simon Ashcroft reshared this.

So many categories...!
I would suggest, also, that there is no meaningful distinction between deities, dæmons and humans.
Call that what you will...
