@zafulotus.bsky.social Just in case you missed this snoozer.

@zafulotus.bsky.social I was working from home today on detonation physics; an email notification popped up and I yelled, “Dammit Academia…stop with the fricking Magic Stick!”

@zafulotus.bsky.social Very nice job on your BSA discussion yesterday. Thank you for your time. Can you now please tell Academia to stop sending me emails with the subject line “I’ve Got The Magic Stick?”

@zafulotus.bsky.social You’d better not be cramming tonight for your BSA talk tomorrow on birth narratives!

@zafulotus.bsky.social You know a good week is coming up when your phone beeps at you saying “RFW talks ancient birth stories on BSA!” Hope you are well and have a nice weekend.

@hugomendez.bsky.social Finished your BSA class on the NT today. That was one of the best classes that I’ve ever taken. You are a superb lecturer. Thank you so much for taking time out of your regular teaching & research. Please let me know if you ever need any help from an explosives physicist.

Great article that everyone who cares about our justice system should read. And he quotes the great Akhil Amar, whose book on Constitutional Criminal Procedure I’m currently reading! www.cato.org/free-society...

Like your failing podcast as a case in point.

@zafulotus.bsky.social My wife has complained about my rampant cramming of Mark knowledge because of your upcoming BSA discussion. She said, “That woman must seriously hate you.” I said, “Robyn is very nice, collegial, and wicked smart. I’ll know I’m in the shits when she compares me to Cicero.”

I was at a “liberal” gathering & discussing my views on the New Testament & Jesus. Then politics & I was asked for a few views. I said, 1. Not a Trump supporter. 2. I support mass deportation of illegal aliens. 3. I support Trump’s appointments of non-Fauci medical staff. No more invites for me!

@zafulotus.bsky.social The secret is out about your upcoming BSA discussion on Mark. My lovely wife said, “Oh shit…does she know that you study Mark morning, noon, and night and can’t STFU about it? That poor woman. I feel so sorry for her.” I promised to go easy on you. Have a great week!

@candidamoss.bsky.social Will you be covering this for CBS too?

@zafulotus.bsky.social Here’s a Neoplatonist yawner for you on a Saturday night. You might have to wait for a free desk copy.

@amandaknox.com Your interview with the legendary Ashleigh Banfield was great. Your questions about loss were poignant & reminded me of something a skilled interrogator told me: “Everyone tries to avoid loss, pain, suffering. You want to know something about a person? Tap into those.”

“You'll see the horrors of a faraway place…Meet the architects of law face to face… See mass murder on a scale you've never seen…And all the ones who try hard to succeed… This is the way, step inside.” Atrocity Exhibition

“In arenas he kills for a prize…Wins a minute to add to his life… But the sickness is drowned by cries for more…Pray to God, make it quick, watch him fall… This is the way, step inside.” Atrocity Exhibition

My views on the Pontiff are mixed bag. Summary. 1. Nice man. 2. Too progressive. Vatican II sucked. Church needs to return to Vatican I & all masses should be in Latin. 3. He should have met with more victims of priest sexual abuse. 4. All Popes should be Italian. 5. Need a Zen co-Pope. Me. 6. RIP.

Exactly, and I’m on the write in ballot. Just try to put aside the fact that I’m a Zen Buddhist. It’s a minor detail.

More good news. You wanna play? You gots to pay.

How about parents being parents and restricting use of electronic devices and social media. You wanna talk to your friends? Meet them in the alley behind the school like I did for a chat and a Newport.

Tonight on CBS @candidamoss.bsky.social will be joined by special guest scholar @zafulotus.bsky.social to discuss the much debated topic of whether Pneuma can get through the papal apartment doors in the Apostolic Palace. Join us for our 10 hour live discussion.

@zafulotus.bsky.social I’m in the running for next Pope since I’m Italian, but I’ve been told that the whole Zen Buddhist thing may work against my candidacy. Hoping that the wonderful and brilliant @candidamoss.bsky.social can pull a few strings for me and mention me on CBS.

Go ask Alice…when she’s ten feet tall…

I’m a musician (guitar and piano), but love good lyrics. The next few months I’ll be taking us on an adventure into the mind of a brilliant lyricist, Mr. Ian Curtis. RIP, brother…I hope you found what you were looking for. Closer, by Joy Division.

“Asylums with doors open wide…where people had paid to see inside. For entertainment they watch his body twist…behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.' This is the way…step inside.”

Jesus demands loyalty from his disciples. They must be willing to follow his specific way of suffering. There is no other path than to take up their own cross and follow their teacher. Mark 8:34

“Well now I dig you Georgia peaches…Makes me feel right at home. But I don't love me no one woman…So I can't stay in Georgia long.”

There’s always been a fierce battle between the judiciary and the executive functions and it’s always hammered out.

Last time I checked, Chris, your show was shitcanned. No one gives a shit what you think. Thank you.
