Charlie and Frank in it’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Charlie in his olive green army jacket and Frank in a gray polo shirt. Both stand side by side inside a room. Charlie has his hands fold in front and speaks as if he is sharing a cool, important fact, while Frank grins and gestures with his left hand up and open, as if helping the sale. A while speech bubble at the bottom points to Charlie as if he’s saying the quoted skeet.

Remain In Hell Without Despair @daphnelawless.com · 02/10/2026
 “Suppose one reads a story of filthy atrocities in the paper. Then suppose that something turns up suggesting that the story might not be quite true, or not quite so bad as it was made out. Is one's first feeling, 'Thank God, even they aren't quite so bad as that,' or is it a feeling of disappointment, and even a determination to cling to the first story for the sheer pleasure of thinking your enemies are as bad as possible? If it is the second then it is, I am afraid, the first step in a process which, if followed to the end, will make us into devils. You see, one is beginning to wish that black was a little blacker. If we give that wish its head, later on we shall wish to see grey as black, and then to see white itself as black. Finally we shall insist on seeing everything -- God and our friends and ourselves included -- as bad, and not be able to stop doing it: we shall be fixed for ever in a universe of pure hatred.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Bernard Mokam
In Grand Central Terminal, Leon Chang, 26, of Brooklyn, said he had not heard of congestion pricing and asked what it was. When explained it was a toll for cars entering Manhattan, he then asked
"What do you mean? What is a car?" Walking outside, we showed him a vehicle parked on the street. He gently touched the hood of the car. "You wish to forbid these majestic beasts from entering the city," he said in a wistful tone. It is a folly of man. The desire to tame the world around us."

This time the claw of shame wins
Still from a Nathan For You episode where Nathan’s hands are suspended above him and handcuffed. A small screen in the upper left corner shows a close up of the hands as he attempts to pick the cuff’s lock. His pants are down. Meanwhile, a large robotic arm is grasping a loop attached to his blue underwear. A countdown clock in the lower right reads: 0:10 Until Exposure

my genuine protestant theological take on all of this is that rather than the focus being on “the act of transition” as sin, we should really be shifting around understanding gender itself as sin.

My friend @overstreet.bsky.social nails a lot of things about NATCHEZ that I didn’t have space for (unsurprisingly) and I saw this movie a year ago and think about it on the regular. You can get it on Apple, Amazon etc for $3 and I recommend. www.jeffreyoverstreet.com/2026/09/20/n...

Natchez: my favorite discovery of 2026 so far
In my favorite film of 2026 so far, director Suzannah Herbert gives us a tour of homes that reveal history that Americans ignore to their own peril.
