My unpopular take is that God actually *is* returning to judge sins, but it's more like American Idol where God is like "damn dawg, that was a really impressive sin, a little pitchy but I’m putting you through to the next round" meanwhile Simon Cowell looks over at him in disbelief.

#music #jazz #guitar I never knew about this power trio. If you haven't heard Spaces, the album he did with John McLaughlin in 1970, I highly recommend it. Here he's with Bernard Purdie and Chuck Rainey. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD3a...

To expand on this: Bigotry isn't a result of an innocent misunderstanding, or not having all the facts. It's not a choice made rationally, defeated with a rational argument. Bigotry is a self-protective, foundational belief used to help make the world make sense to them. Debate won't change that.

Later for you, Dennis Hastert. Surely not the first child rapist in the Republican Party, not the last, not even the most powerful, but certainly one of the first to be exposed as such, and one of the longest serving.

I went down the rabbit hole of figuring out how they sell stuff so cheap and it was not a happy rabbit hole for me. tl;dr they are basically a private equity/tech firm that sells algorithmic tools. their supply chain / model is basically like shein www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFjJ...
