Greatest theological insight since Lauren Boebert suggested Jesus wouldn't have been crucified if he had an AR-15. (I'm not making that up, she said it.)
in reply to Scary Austin VOTED 4 HARRIS!

I am endlessly entertained by the people who follow the Bible without ever having read it. My mom was hardcore bible thumpy and what finally helped me break free was studying religion. I had copies of every religious text pretty much but it was literally taking a course in university that allowed me the insight to break free.

And whenever I encounter someone who tries to tell me the greatness of Jesus, I push back and you can tell really fast they have never even read it. The funniest was the fellow mom during a playdate who threw a fit when I simply said "book of John isn't even written by John."

She lost her mind at me. Let's just say our kids never had a second playdate.

Update #PrideBudapest : Die Polizei hat die Veranstaltung, angemeldet vom Bürgermeister, wieder verboten. Die Situation bleibt weiter unklar und ändert sich ständig, denn auch gegen dieses Verbot können Veranstalter*innen klagen.

Bericht bei HRW: hrw.org/news/2025/06/20/pride-…

Verbot: police.hu/hu/hirek-es-informac…

in reply to chris köver

Der Bürgermeister hält daran fest, die Veranstaltung könne nicht verboten werden, weil sie nie als Demo angemeldet wurde. "The Budapest Police Headquarters has issued a prohibition order on a non-existent meeting, and could have used the same force to ban unicorns." 🦄 🌈

Stay tuned! Morgen haben wir mit sanktionsfrei.de wieder die Bundespressekonferenz gekapert. Gemeinsam mit Marcel Fratzscher, Präsident des deutschen Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung (DIW) und dem Betroffenen thomas Wasilewski wurde ich eingeladen, die Ergebnisse unserer Bürgergeld-Studie vorzustellen. Spoiler: „mafiösen Bürgergeldbetrug“ haben wir nicht gefunden. Aber die Ergebnisse sind trotzdem echt krass. Alle Weitere gibt’s morgen.

À Mayotte, les migrants sont la première cible de la «refondation»

Alors que le #ProjetDeLoi arrive à l’Assemblée nationale lundi 23 juin, Mediapart revient sur les enjeux de ce texte, qui mise davantage sur la baisse de l’#immigration sur l’île que sur la reconstruction après les ravages du #CycloneChido.

Medical students in the 18th and 19th century had to resort to grave robbing if they wanted corpses to dissect.

Fortunately, those days are gone but it was due to the thousands of Americans in the 20th century who donated their bodies to #science.

In a world of ever-increasing existential dread and a doomscroll that keeps spiraling out of control it's strangely comforting to read a sober (and somber) account of the pandemonium unfolding — and very few do such reports better than @Daojoan

honestly - thank you for reading it in good faith. I actually lost a lot of subscribers for saying this.
in reply to JA Westenberg

doesn't surprise me, I did also feel weird and conflicted as I started out reading it. Both-side-isms are really rampant today, but sometimes stuff really *is* complicated and not-at-all-black-and-white. I know it doesn't help the balance sheet, but if its any consolation, that article made me feel less like in an echo-chamber and "hearing what I wanted to hear" and more like "reading people with well-reasoned arguments to support the points they want to make" and I thank you for sticking with your integrity and whatever you felt was right.
in reply to JA Westenberg

I generally like reading your posts, but the trouble I have with this one is that you (like Trump) are rejecting the findings of US intelligence that Iran had not ordered weaponization.

That is on the record even as late as Sunday, when Secretary of State Marco Rubio was questioned on this point on Face the Nation.

That seems like a low bar to meet for a preemptive attack on possibly dangerous facilities and where diplomacy was already taking place.



Trump has made $2.8 million from selling watches and $2.5 million from perfumes and sneakers, according to federal financial disclosure forms released by the White House.
