Have you ever heard the tragedy of Soe Noire, the gender-expansive he/him lesbian? I thought not. It is not a story the woke would tell you.

Preaching on the parable of the laborers today, my priest pointed out that the laborers last-chosen would be the weak, disabled, or elderly. Those found to be undesirable as workers. I had always read it as about the late-repentant and this had never occurred to me before.

NATO is clearly spooked Russia is about to attack, but I find it difficult to believe the Russians in their present state are capable of a major offensive. Not sure what their play is unless it’s just to expose US guarantees as unreliable but that seems like a major gamble.

The Supreme Court should overturn the part of the constitution that says the President must be a natural born citizen (wrong side of history, not progressive) so Zohran can run

I am not spending an “irresponsible” amount of money on Bayeux tapestry swag from the British Museum. It’s called self-care look it up.

I don’t think AI researchers for the most part really believe they’re going to kill us all. I also don’t think it’s like a cynical marketing strategy or something, it’s too widespread and organic a sentiment for that. Why they keep saying it is an interesting question.

I want to say this as respectfully as possible and truly without malice for the recently deceased. Everything I’ve seen posted by Wendell Berry makes me want to roll my eyes and do the jerk-off motion with my hand.

I believe Lindsay Clancy was severely depressed and fully intended to kill herself after killing her children, but I don’t believe she was insane. But, I don’t think she’ll be convicted. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

After consultation with civilian and military officials, and after personal prayer and meditation, I’ve made the decision to authorize a 5:45pm Diet Coke. I did not come to this lightly. I take full responsibility for the consequences.

At the grocery store deli counter. Some people seem to arrive at the counter not already knowing what they intend to get. Unthinkable experience to me.

With respect to the stuff that is like “Post-Trump the US will find relationships cannot be repaired”, the US accounts for 30% of global consumer spending so I do think we will find willing partners.

Wrapped up Moby-Dick with @catherineproject.bsky.social last night. Another fantastic, dedicated group of readers. After five years & dozens of books, I’m taking some time off this fall as we prepare for our second child. The Project is an amazing thing. If you’re considering joining, do so!

I had criticisms of Nolan’s Odyssey, some of which I share with Emily Wilson, but her review is a bit much. Imo.

I liked the Odyssey, didn’t love it. It suffers from Nolanisms. Clunky, expository dialogue and too-quick cuts. But it’s definitely a visual spectacle, and it captures the weird atmosphere of the poem well. The Circe and Hades sequences are standouts. 1/
