The kicker is *chef's kiss*

“You think we’re getting a little too close to Meta?” [John Georges, co-owner of Georges Media Group, the state’s largest media organization and parent company of the state’s largest newspaper, The Times-Picayune | The New Orleans Advocate], asked. “I’m not afraid of the sun. You know — Icarus? I’ll get as close to the sun as I can.”

Amazing work by @propublica.org and partners illustrating the lack of regulations around microschools in some states. www.propublica.org/article/prop...

In Arkansas, all it took was a few clicks on the Arkansas secretary of state website, $45 and an American flag to form a bona fide private school with the Arkansas Times.
We established a school with Mountain State Spotlight in West Virginia after filing our new school's name and location with authorities on a piece of notebook paper, then exchanging a few emails.
And with The Assembly in North Carolina, we filed an online notice of intent to open a private school at Ponysaurus Brewing Co. in Durham, while perched on its metal bar stools, eyeing glasses of a crisp kolsch.

This is not advice for congregational singing writ large, but sometimes the most challenging ones can really bring something to a service. I’ve only sung “He Never Said a Mumbalin’ Word” (UMH 291) *once* but it was absolutely haunting. As notated, it also has augmented octaves, which is wild.

When Democrats attempt to triangulate on trans rights, it's my sense that many liberals and people in politics don't understand why many trans people are so upset. I wrote about the differences between then and now, what trans people have lost, and what we still stand to lose

Every book club I know seems to have read Theo of Golden in the past six months, and the Christian ones have all loved it, while the non-religious ones have not been fans. I only read a few chapters before I had to put it down for other things, but even that was a lot for me.

Didn't know this until today but Dolly Parton had a transsexual man named Jason Pirro work as her Hollywood chauffeur in the 1980s, per an interview he gave to The Sun in 1990. "Dolly has been good to me...Dolly knows all about me."

SEXY SECRETS OF DOILY PARTON'S
UMO DRIVER-HE USED TO BE A SHE
DOLLY PARTON is being chauffeured around
Hollywood by a 300-lb. transsexual who
has had an operation to change from a
woman into a ian. The country queen
shares 44-year-old Jason Pirro's secret"
and has promised to help the obese,
tuxedo-outfitted driver attain his goal
to become a movie director.
"Dolly has been good to me," Jason told
STAR. "I'm not real coafortable talking
about ayself. Dolly knows all about me
and is a very nice lady. "Whenever Dolly
coaes into Hollywood for a aeeting, or
for business, or for filaing, or just
staying here, she calls ae and I drive
her around."
Court papers obtained by STAR show Pirro
legally changed his naae froa Susan Ann
to Jason in 198B because of "sex-
reassignaent.* Jason underwent a sex-
change operation in 1982.
Jason, who has a beard and wears his
thinning reddish-brown hair in a
ponytaiI, caae to Hollywood 10 years ago.
At the time, he was taking hormone
tablets and dressing as a «an. He got a
job as a lino driver.
Dolly has said that there's nothing wrong
with transsexuals. "If I were a nan I'd
be a drag queen," she admits. "1 enjoy
being a trashy dresser and 1 love gaudy
things. I love to play with hair and
makeup."
Jason studied theater as a coed at
Syracuse University, but after eight
years at college. left without
graduating. Despite chat, Jason has a
genius-level I.Q. of 144.
A fasily friend says Susan was in her aid -
30's when she decided to have doctors
transfora her into a ian. "Jason has
tried to sake the family feel comfortable
with the situation. Even by the time he
started to grow facial hair and his voice
was getting deeper, if we'd slip and call
him Susie, he'd just hug us and say,
'That's OK."
"He's a loving warm, caring human being.
He teaches transcendental meditation. He
has never had an enemy. People just take
a liking to him. He has that …

She didn’t just read it and say “okay, if that’s what it says that’s what it says, that’s the rule, period.” She thought, “I don’t get that. I’m going to think about it.” That’s the intersection of your religious tradition with your independent soul.

I mean just within this story, you get not only the substance of this observation from her, which is beautiful, but the very fact that when she read scripture, she wanted to truly understand it, to see how it made sense to her and was consistent with what she knew was right and sensible.

If you see this and respond "Good," you are required to actually look up the top 4 denominations and who you're talking about. The trans priests, the lesbian bishops, the Tim Walz guys, the Stacy Abrams women, sometimes the ONLY safe youth groups for queer teens, hosts of Meals on Wheels, NA, and AA

I absolutely love TENET, but the opening scene at the Opera House has an orchestra tuning poorly(!) and to a horrendous pitch, before getting terrorized, where you’ll see a saxophone and a sousaphone, neither of which are orchestral instruments, much less called for in an opera!
