In Good Omens it was originally "he" and about Jesus, but the point stands. I think there's also a similar scene in The Life of Brian. And of course, there are rabid right-wing Trumpagelicals yelling about how empathy is heretical. Yes, they're really saying that.
This drawing says it all . Unfortunately the magats call that being WOKE . As if it’s something terrible and insulting . I rather be WOKE than asleep and support a cruel and vile narcissist like trump. That’s the tragedy of it all. Artist credit: Liberal Jane
Woke is the opposite of comatose. I could not believe they went there. The same is true of all their buzz words. They claim all the folks they hate are authoritarian, and then they make unpopular crazy changes and call themselves "Conservative".
Said many times now you cannot be "Christian" and not believe in Social Justice and Mercy..
Suggest these MAGA naysayers read Matthew's "Sermon on the Mount"..

This is so true, it seems using that saying around the MAGA society (Be kind to each other) is like putting salt or bleach on a slug and watching it squirm around.
Secondly, turn on the alt text reminder on your bluesky account. It's in "accessibility". A lot of people won't upvote any images without alt text. But then, a lot of them won't upvote A.I.-produced stuff either, so YMMV.
Thanks! I'm new to alt text, unsure how it works. I used AI to create the picture description, but the cat's are real. Is this the right approach for alt text? Thanks again.
"A personified sun with hands pointing at it and the earth looking at it. The banner reads: =Acceping, others as wuke to linke o be to accepteed!=
This is a disgusting AI bullsh*t image."
What cats are you talking about?
There are no cats in your images.
In alt text, you describe the picture you can see to someone who cannot see it. Pretend a friend is in another room, and you are telling them what the picture holds. Write out all the text in the image.
A lot of people find the images that are generated by AI are offensive. Real art goes better.
I am enjoying mint chocolate chip ice cream in a bowl. The ice cream is a light green color with small dark chocolate chips mixed throughout. The bowl has a white background with a blue and white striped pattern on the rim.
Yes, but you don't have to have the same text in the message. The alt text is best when it describes. The post is better when it doesn't. For example (note the alt text is different to the post):
We all know that MAGA are a bunch of assholes. When we were wearing masks in public, they were cool with it until they learned it was to protect people around them.
The three photos are from Good Omens, a great TV series based on the book by incredible Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, starring also incredible Michael Sheen and David Tennant.
In 2018, Budde played a significant role in LGBTQ+ history when she oversaw the interment of Matthew Shepard’s remains at the National Cathedral — the same building in which she would address Trump nearly seven years later.
Shepard was murdered in 1998 in what is still one of the most high-profile hate crime cases in U.S. history, but his parents held onto his ashes for 20 years out of fear his gravesite might be vandalized.
Shepard’s remains were interred in the Cathedral’s crypt following a memorial service on October 26, 2018, over which Budde and openly gay Rev. V. Gene Robinson presided.
These are the dumbest of times and I fucking hate it here. 1984, animal farm, brave new world, handmades tale,all my favorite books coming to life. Insanity.
The ol' Guy is pretty busy these days, what with helping sportsball teams win and making sure musicians win awards and whatnot. I think He's way behind on his smiting.
In all the chaos and mayhem of religious fundamentalist abuse of groups and demographics (such as women, LGBT and immigrants) their ideology causes them to despise, it's easy to overlook the contempt and hate they feel for the more decent and honourable members of their own faith. So tragic. 😑
They all do. The bootlickers are falling over themselves deriding Bishop Budde's sermon as demonic and evil. As for their maker, sigh. I'm wont to say that would be Satan if he existed.
If we could create the world of our dreams, what kind of world would we create? Would it be a world built on kindness to all human beings? Or a world built on kindness to my small-minded, small-hearted tribe and meanness to all others?
I don't know about you but seems to me that whatever denomination of church I go to... It's like God's trying to tell me something. Personally I don't think she needed to single him out. She could have found an illustration related to djt. But I say whatever works. 🃏🏴☠️
Good Omens, video adaptation of the book by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. David Tenant is the devil and Michael Sheen is angel Aziraphael. They meet at the Garden of Eden and become friends throughout history. This scene is the crucifixion of Jesus, and the meme simply changes "he" to "she".
Good Omens. A show where an angel and a demon, who are supposed to help bring about Armagedden, become friends and decide they don't want earth destroyed, so they stonewall all attempts to make Armagedden happen..
It’s a disgusting article - one that prompted me to clear my shelves 😔 I won’t be able to listen to The Sandman audiobooks again … he was a hero a of mine until I read this
I'm not ready to say its a fall. The White House attorney sent to District Court in Seattle couldn't get through his first sentence without the judge cutting him off to tell him patently ridiculous the entire EO was.
I've heard it said by a few people, and it's very appropriate.
There's no one to save us.
Sure, there are some people standing up, but not enough of them in positions of power. We have to save ourselves. We have to have each other's backs, organize, and make a difference where we are.
Where are all the religious leaders who believe in the New Testament & Jesus? Cowering in their expensive quarters, flying in their private planes or being chauffeured around in their luxury cars? Not even a peep of support from the Pope?
To show mercy to those less fortunate. Wow! Since when is asking for empathy for others, a bad thing? That is one of the basic tenets of Christianity, which should prove once and for all, that Donald J Trump is no Christian and never was one.
Just let Satan’s helpers keep announcing who they work for. God’s people need to pay attention to who these people are , because they will be the ones persecuting u!
I point the skeletal finger of blame at every "Evangelical Christian". You supported him to get your way on abortion and gender identity. You got what you wanted. But now, you're silent on Trump's complete rejection of the most basic principles espoused by Christ - Kindness and Mercy. Shame on you.
I will repeat myself: I have a complicated relationship with Christianity, but if you are offended by a Bishop paraphrasing Christ's own words, then clearly, your relationship with Christianity is much more complicated than my own.
Death of the author (unless he gets residuals per watch, does anyone know? Because I really enjoyed season 1 and just realized I didn't finish it before I knew)
Neil is making money on this. Terry’s share might go to his estate. Idk where the estate gets probated and what the contract looks like but that’s generally how it works in common law (US, Canada, UK, Australia, NZ(?))
I know he made money on it, I just don't know with the way Amazon does the deal whether or not keeping it available is based on a period of time or per watch basis.
And IF Good Omens 3 gets written I am guessing Rhianna & Lyn, Rob Wilkins & David Briggs will all have a hand in writing & producing it without so much as an NG fingerprint.
The rights to Good Omens are co-owned by NG & the Pratchett Estate. Some of that goes to Alzheimers research. And his daughter Rhianna. And his wife Lyn.
Lyn is listed as co-author and copyright holder of most of the Discworld books.
not to mention the thousands of other artists involved with the project. also, they have said ng isn't involved in the production, and its being listed as "by terry pratchett".
Excuse me butting in, but Mum has never been listed as a co-author, otherwise her name would’ve been on the front of the books. She was a co-rights holder which is a very different thing.
I love Good Omens and this sentiment. But I’ve hardly heard her critics speak on the substance of what she said, they go straight to delegitimizing especially her but also her denomination. It’s a pattern.
Trump & his followers, would’ve rebuked Jesus for being merciful, forgiving, NON RACIST, healing & feeding people, loving all…! Trump & his worshippers oppose the ways of Jesus!
Jesus was a dangerous terrorist. Anti Family Values.
"Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
Have these people ever attened church because it appears none of have. Since I was a kid a priest, bishop, minister of pope have given sermons during mass, and the common theme showing compassion to fellow man, all of a sudden these words are a death threat to bishop Budde.
She actually used a powerful, old-fashioned word that we rarely hear ay more: mercy. She asked the leader of arguably the most powerful nation in the free world to show mercy. That's what sent them off the deep end.
I still can’t fathom what they think a “peaceful protest” would look like. Hypocrites, they just don’t want you to say anything. “You’re gonna be as miserable as us, and you’re gonna like it!”

It is the duty of every Christian to protect every vulnerable person, even if they have a lighter or darker skin than you.!
Christians are obligated to do this!
Including if it is going to be the ultimate sacrifice.!
Suggest these MAGA naysayers read Matthew's "Sermon on the Mount"..
"Whatever you do for the least of these you do for me..."
But she just asked Trump to.
They all need to be committed.

This was delicious.
This is a particularly difficult command for narcissists, because they love themselves so much that it leaves little time for loving anyone else.
Also, as it happens, all the neighbors of narcissists happen to be terrible, nasty people. Exactly why they don't know.

"Forsake ye the serpent, for the serpent shall cast ye down. Seek instead the ladder, for it lifteth thee up and winneth thee the game."
She stood before the rising tide,
Where many turned their hearts aside.
“Will no one speak?” the Bishop cried,
For truth and love must not subside.
Thank the lord that Pterry's legacy continues unsullied.
guy is apparently a piece of garbage

2 Corinthians 11:14-15 seems pretty applicable to our current situation.
I bet she knows this verse well.
Christian Bishop: Plesse treat people kindly
Christians: wtf did you just say to me? Check your tone. Someone deport this bitch.
That says it all
Neil Gaiman, good author but unfortunately major SA yuck.
Terry Pratchett was a Saint.
Lyn is listed as co-author and copyright holder of most of the Discworld books.
Make Sunday January 26
"The Day of Mercy"
Every pastor in America should take five minutes on Sunday morning to read the "Words of Mercy" that Bishop Budde spoke to our President.
Speaker Johnson labeled it as "radical ideology".
Yes, Christians know Jesus was a radical.
"Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
Donald prefers to hear the tires squishing over people as he drives the bus.
They are all sick
Mike Johnson called it a *radical ideology*... I guess god must have told him it's radical, cause I don't think jesus did.
