I used to be into the heavy metal scene. The more the guys wore make up, spikes, metal, "violent stuff", dude, they were the softest underneath. They were terrified and this was their way of overcoming their social anxiety

The fundamental mistake here is in order to prepare the shot correctly, you need to pour the vodka, wait six months, and then pour the sake on top shortly before drinking it. My guess is you accelerated this process and ended up doing multiple Tsushimas in a single setting.

When I was 18 I invented a shot, the "Tsushima:" sake poured over vodka to symbolize and commemorate Japanese naval superiority The next day my friends and I deeply regretted our decision, much like I imagine the Russian admiralty did

The Bible literally says that a woman can be created from a man’s rib, Janet.
Telegraph and Mail journalist Janet Murray on Facebook: Apparently the Church of England has ordained its first 'transgender woman' - following a 'gender transition'.
Now, I'm no biblical scholar. But I did go to a faith school, study compulsory RE until I was 16, and get an 'A' in Religious Studies (back when that was the top grade). So I'm scratching my head here.
Genesis says God created humankind "male and female". Where does the Bible say that men can become women? Sarah Jones is a man, not a woman.

RIP my Mam, Margaret O'Rourke (nee Perkins) who passed away peacefully today, wrapped in the love of her family & many friends. Mam was a pioneer - the 1st woman journalist on any provincial newspaper in Ireland. She was active & engaged in her community right up to the very end. RIP Mammy Kamikaze
Picture taken 2 weeks ago of my Mam, a very youthful looking woman approaching her 91st birthday. She is smiling at the camera & wearing grey plaid pants, a lilac cardigan & blue t-shirt with floral pattern. On the wall behind is a picture of her with her sister Dorothy, her lifelong best friend, who died 7 years ago.

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

The special issue of Method and Theory in the Study of Religion focused on "Deserting the Study of Religion" (edited by yours truly) is now available online. 1/4 brill.com/view/journal...
This special issue is structured around the theme “Deserting the Study of Religion,” which signals the precarity facing public universities and aims to historicize its causes, identify the institutional challenges specific to the study of religion, and gather reflections on how scholars can respond to these in their research, teaching, and leadership. What does it mean to study religion within the infrastructures of public higher educational institutions? What does it mean to teach and research in particular places, each of them with unique cultural, demographic, economic, and ecological contexts? How might these questions reframe or refresh longstanding conversations about theory and method in the study of religion?

Internal economic weakness, debt, & inefficient investment limit #China’s foreign policy leverage, but not always in the same ways. But even “ghost cities” are not all the same: brownfield boondoggles are different from formalist facades: www.cfg.cam.ac.uk/news/four-ki... #trump #summit

Three panel comic. Panel 1: Genghis khan is sitting in a throne room. His advisor enters with a fruity drink in hand. The advisor proclaims, “Genghis Khan! I bring a gift from a faraway land!” Panel 2: he continues, “a ‘strawberry margarita.’” Genghis takes a delicate yet generous sip. Panel 3: Genghis and his advisor exchange smiles. Genghis says, “yeeooo that’s fire”

This is the far more likely pathway for how AI will end us all, btw. Not via some superintelligent swarm of paperclip maximizers, but by a cascading sequence of dumb fuckups driven by human beings who have arranged things to be fast-moving and catastrophically fragile while also being really lazy.
