the Bluetooth thing is crazy but also if they don’t like sunscreen, pesticides and fluoride this problem just might sort itself out.

gotta start teaching kids education is important, professionalism is important — but a lot of times, you get work just by proving you're a good hang.

don't know if i've just spent too long wearing headphones and editing audio, but have y'all noticed lots of youtubers are using AI to "clean up" the narration on their videos? it sounds so sterile and fake and bad.

it's unfortunate "karen" has become the name for all mean old white ladies, because the actual "karens" i've met are the sweetest, kindest people ever.

some boys really stop smiling for photos in 5th grade and make that a permanent feature of their personality. life is short, men. american masculinity is a prison. smile in those Easter photos with your beautiful families. that's how you want your kids to remember you.

When Pastor John Langenstein found out he’d been assigned North View UMC, everyone he talked to had the same response: “Oh, you’re going to the egg church.”

The slavery section of the National Museum of African-American History and Culture was one of the most heart-rending things I've seen in my life. I remain shaken by it. And I am immensely grateful for that experience. There will never be healing in this nation until we reckon with our sins.

It finally happened. I forgot how old I am. I just realized that for at least the last 6 months I’ve been telling people I’m a year older than I actually am.

same people who want English to be the U.S. national language also think this is a Christian nation. but the Kingdom of God is a congregation of "all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues."

My latest radio story takes us to New Vrindaban, West Virginia. It’s a Hare Krishna community in the state’s northern panhandle, best know for its opulent Palace of Gold. But this story ain’t about that. I went to see the kitchens of New Vrindaban.
Looking through a doorway at a gravel walkway, with a red wall on one side and a red fence on the other. At the end stands the Palace of Gold with multiple gilded roofs.

Read the whole thing, but in short: when a judge issues a civil contempt order, law enforcement (in federal cases, the U.S. Marshalls) works for the courts and no one else.

I mean yes, there is such a concept in Christianity. It appears quite notably in the letters of Paul, for instance, where it’s a concept he *relentlessly* argues against, and in the Gospel where it’s a concept Jesus very much repeatedly scorns. So it is technically in there!

Sometimes, when I open my front door, I find a little aluminum pie plate there on my front step. But it's not from Door Dash or Uber Eats — it's the ugly leftovers from my neighbor Kim Kerr's cinnamon roll business. (They might look ugly but they taste amazing.)

If you’re upset by a woman prophetically speaking truth to power, allow me to introduce you to Jesus’ mom: “God has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. God has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.” -Luke 1:52-53

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.
