I just gave a talk about Marjoe’s life and career(s) and the interweaving of evangelism and celebrity on Wednesday. A fascinating, complicated person.

I knew the second I saw that viral clip of the mom and dad at the baseball game that the internet’s insane parasocial contextless gut reaction to it was going to end up being wildly wrong. I really really hate how people just don’t give a shit about being kind or thoughtful anymore on the internet.

"I wrote the piece and Claude found the links relevant to my claims" is, even without the AI, such an admission of poor thinking and argumentation. your claims should emerge from the evidence!

[Benoit Blanc during a Reacher Christmas episode crossover] Listen, son, I myself am of the conviction that violence is the crude weapon of an incurious mind, but I will admit that my gigantic friend here makes the most convincing argument I've yet heard on the virtues of expediency through force.

Can't quite put words to how much I adored The Rivals of Amziah King. My favorite movie in many years. (Thank you @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social for the review that sent us to the theater!)

It’s funny, it’s kind of a bluegrass musical, but also it’s a murder revenge thriller, but also it’s a small scale family drama, but also it’s about rural crime and beekeeping in Oklahoma. It absolutely shouldn’t work, but it absolutely does

Yea you see, the problem here is that what historians actually do is construct the ‘well structured large historical dataset’.What you’re saying is that Claude can write an elementary school level paper on like the civil war

In which Bo French, the openly racist candidate for Texas Railroad Commission, claims that his Jewish opponent has “much in common” with the Bolsheviks.

Email: Today marks the 108th anniversary of the execution of the Romanov family by the Bolsheviks.
My opponent, Radical Rosenthal, has much in common with the Marxist revolutionaries who brutally executed the Romanov family and ushered in total Communist control of Russia.

My opponent has spent his time in office mocking Christianity, the Virgin Birth, and Christian Communion, while voting against religious liberty and for the spread of Islam.
This is who Radical Rosenthal is.
Many are saying he is Radical Revolutionary Rosenthal.
His buddy Vegan Talafreako is on record HATING Christianity.
The communist playbook these two despicable psychos are running is over a hundred years old.
If we don't stand up for Texas now, they will have their full-scale communist revolution.
Radical Rosenthal will destroy Texas Oil and Gas and unleash his infernal revolution on our State.

The short lived 1920s strip “Our Ku Klux Klan” by Al Zere raises some real questions…

1920s cartoon panel depicting Shmoo like Klansmen driving jalopies. They could definitely be Minions
