The horrifying realization that Coyote Vs Acme delighted me as a 90s style legal thriller for the same reason Roger Rabbit delighted old people as a 50s noir.

I was telling my coworkers I read the movie as agnostic (in contrast to TROY's atheism and sneering disregard for anything supernatural). As you said, the gods (arguably) don't appear, but we also have stuff like the Underworld scene, Circe's magic... feels like Nolan sidestepping the spiritual.

that is in fact literally in the bible. it's Matthew 6:5.

5 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

I think yes. I’m not sure if they explicitly articulated it, but that was my impression based on the conversations at camp even before they went to Tribal.

I have to give credit to @amikebloomtype.bsky.social for his consistent podcast observations that AU BvB2's Coven was just the White Lotus S3 trio--which made me extremely compelled by their story, and then stories of other self-destructive women's alliances--which ultimately inspired this video.

Look, we've all been there. You start off with a simple research question - "Why do so many all-female alliances fail on #Survivor?" - and then accidentally create an 85-minute documentary on the global history of women's alliances. We've all made one. Here's mine: www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2oN...

I love this take. I'm sure there are holes in this that smarter people could identify, but to me, if you are chasing a purely *Christian* political worldview, this feels like the really natural endpoint (credit @sojo.net @tylerhuckabee.bsky.social) sojo.net/articles/opi...

RIP Kaleb Horton kalebhorton.ghost.io/2025-so-far/

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee.
You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

thinking once again of jon foreman’s answer when someone asked him if switchfoot is a christian band

be honest, this question grieves me because I feel that it represents a much bigger issue than simply a couple SF tunes. In true Socratic form, let me ask you a few questions: Does Lewis or Tolkien mention Christ in any of their fictional series? Are Bach's sonata's Christian? What is
more Christ-like, feeding the poor, making furniture, cleaning bathrooms, or painting a sunset? There is a schism between the sacred and the secular in all of our modern minds.
The view that a pastor is more 'Christian' than a girls volleyball coach is flawed and heretical. The stance that a worship leader is more spiritual than a janitor is condescending and flawed.
These different callings and purposes further demonstrate God's sovereignty.
Many songs are worthy of being written.
Switchfoot will write some, Keith Green, Bach, and perhaps yourself have written others. Some of these songs are about redemption, others about the sunrise, others about nothing in particular: written for the simple joy of music.
None of these songs has been born again, and to

about the sunrise, others about nothing in particular: written for the simple joy of music.
None of these songs has been born again, and to that end there is no such thing as Christian music. No. Christ didn't come and die for my songs, he came for me. Yes. My songs are a part of my life. But judging from scripture / can only conclude that our God is much more interested
in how I treat the poor and the broken and the hungry than the personal pronouns / use when / sing. I am a believer. Many of these songs talk about this belief. An obligation to say this or do that does not sound like the glorious freedom that Christ died to afford me.
I do have an obligation, however, a debt that cannot be settled by my lyrical decisions. My life will be judged by my obedience, not my ability to confine my lyrics to this box or that.
We all have a different calling; Switchfoot is trying to be obedient to who we are called to be.
We're not trying to be Audio A or U2 or POD or

confine my lyrics to this box or that.
We all have a different calling; Switchfoot is trying to be obedient to who we are called to be.
We're not trying to be Audio A or U2 or POD or Bach: we're trying to be Switchfoot. You see, a song that has the words: 'Jesus Christ' is no more or less 'Christian' than an instrumental piece. (I've heard lots of people say Jesus Christ and they weren't talking about their redeemer.)
You see, Jesus didn't die for any of my tunes. So there is no hierarchy of life or songs or occupation only obedience. We have a call to take up our cross and follow. We can be sure that these roads will be different for all of us. Just as you have one body and every part has a different function, so in Christ we who are many form one body and each of us belongs to all the others.
Please be slow to judge 'brothers' who have a different calling."

It is actually so pleasurable and INVOLVING to fill in the blanks and use your imagination as a viewer. It binds you to the material, makes you invested. and there are fewer and fewer mainstream entertainments that give you room to do that

There's something profoundly sad about some Christians, esp. clergy, saying "IF Jesus were here…" or "Jesus WOULD..." My point isn't a semantic gotcha, but that we Christians have to talk about Jesus like He's actually alive (because He is!) and not just a Good Moral Example locked in the past.
