NOT A POPULAR MAN!

Elon Musk Created Personal security force of dozens

He has "barricaded himself behind a growing phalanx of armed bodyguards".

The billionaire previously received mostly harmless calls and messages, but now regularly faces harassment and threats.

This year, Tesla disclosed for the first time in documents that it paid $2.4 million for part of Musk's protection in 2023.

In early June, my water heater died. I was hoping it would hang on a little longer, but here is the moment.

I knew if I had to replace it with the same kind, I'd be stuck for another 10 years of gas bills. And I really wanted a #HeatPump water heater (#HPWH going forward). They are crazy efficient, and also would allow me to turn off the gas line to my house. I've been trying to reduce fossil fuels since we bought this 100 year old house 24 years ago....

The saga begins. 🧵

A photo of a basement area next to a chimney with the old natural gas hot water heater. It must have been a 10 or more year old one, it was due to fail. But on this day I walked downstairs to find the dreaded puddle of water out of the bottom of this tank.

My wife and I did our jukai (precepts ceremony) today at Daifukuji, our Zen temple in Kona. #Hawaii #Buddhism
This photo shows the exterior of Daifukuji, our Buddhist temple in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. The building is red and white, and was built in a traditional Japanese style. The “box” in the foreground is a shrine containing a statue of Jizo.

Slaves of God: Augustine and Other Romans on Religion and Politics by Toni Alimi , 2024

A provocative look at the central role of slavery in Augustine’s religious, ethical, and political thought.

Augustine believed that slavery is permissible, but to understand why, we must situate him in his late antique Roman intellectual context. Slaves of God provides a major reassessment of this monumental figure in the Western religious and political tradition, tracing the remarkably close connections between Augustine’s understanding of slavery and his broader thought. Augustine is most often read through the lens of Greek philosophy and the theology of Christian writers such as Paul and Ambrose, yet his debt to Roman thought is seldom appreciated. Toni Alimi reminds us that the author of Confessions and City of God was also a Roman citizen and argues that some of the thinkers who most significantly shaped his intellectual development were Romans such as Cicero, Seneca, Lactantius, and Varro—Romans who had much to say about slavery and its relationship to civic life. Alimi shows how Augustine, a keen and influential student of these figures, related chattel slavery and slavery to God, and sheds light on Augustinianism’s complicity in Christianity’s long entanglement with slavery. An illuminating work of scholarship, Slaves of God reveals how slavery was integral to Augustine’s views about law, rule, accountability, and citizenship, and breaks new ground on the topic of slavery in late antique and medieval political thought.

there is some very cool research going on in a cave in the grand canyon. there are hundreds, maybe thousands of dead bats, all with their soft tissue preserved. some are between 3700 and 31000 years old! there are other samples from the cave that are too old for carbon dating! #bats #science #grandcanyon
