If you haven't read 1 Samuel 8 lately, you should. Samuel's a judge, but he's old & wants to retire. He made his sons judges, but they were corrupt. So the elders of Israel tell Samuel, "We're tired of judges. We want kings, like all the cool kids have." Samuel tells God. 1/

Noah's Ark is the first story I ever heard of a family annihilator. That's it. That's the model. God is one reason men think murdering their entire family is righteous. No one looks at Saturn eating his children & says, "What a good dad!" But we do that with the guy who drowned his children.

High-minded white Texan says he can't vote for Paxton but also "can't support someone who tells everyone that they are victims, which is Talarico's message." DUDE. Ever read the Declaration of Independence? It lists ways George III victimized the colonists. But I bet this Texan supports them.

There are many reasons to respect, admire, & value Gloria Steinem, but I'll mention a shallow one today: She was pretty. She was so pretty, in fact, that she got a job as a Playboy bunny & write an expose of the misogyny the job involved. 1/

Last week I read an NY Times piece about how women are having far fewer babies, even in Utah. It mentioned a study by researchers at BYU that "found that, while a majority of older women stayed in the [LDS] church, less than 40 % of 18-year-old women did." 🧵1/ www.nytimes.com/2026/07/25/u...

This is the direct consequence of Trump's policies to move resources from Medicaid to tax cuts. When RFK Jr. and Vance say they are eliminate fraud in the healthcare systems, these are the types of families affected.

Last night I dreamed that Trump burned down the White House. We all stood around staring at its charred ruins. I hope the dream remains metaphor rather than becoming prophecy, since the evil it's a metaphor for is already vile enough.

Someone sent me a writing sample full of bad, bland AI writing & said, "I am not looking for the writing to be made more conventional or more commercially generic." FYI: the last thing you get when you outsource to AI the satisfying task of refining your prose is a voice that's edgy & fresh.

Pretend you’re an employee and your boss calls you in for a meeting. And instead of talking to you in a normal conversational voice, they use a really clipped form of delivery. Every single thing they have to say comes in a really short phrase. With lots of silence around it. 1/

What kills me about the men prosecuted for drugging and raping their wives is that if they did the same thing while their wives were conscious they could just say she consented and get away with it, because juries would believe him and not her.

The House is on spring break, but I still called my rep, Juan Ciscomani, to beg him in the name of God to stop DJT from committing war crimes. His staffer said, "Sure thing, I'll tell him. You have a good one." That's the point, dude: If we commit war crimes today, I will NOT "have a good one."
