To summarize, the primary systemic #Tesla flaws are twofold: 1) They're dangerously prone to going faster than they can safely manage; 2) They're increasingly designed to take our personal agency away. Which, now, seems just the weensiest bit...metaphoric. #elon #doge

"For the world," said Treebeard to Galadriel, "is changing." And though I am a short-lived human, and not a near-immortal Ent, I can feel it in the earth nonetheless. #climate #soil #compost #drought #thatswherethequoteappearsinTolkien

American "libertarianism" has, at the heart of it, one single catastrophic flaw. That flaw is this: the assumption that personal liberty and free markets are not in tension with one another. #freedom #slavery #debt #capital #power

Here, in a speech before Congress two years ago, Zelenskyy profusely thanks the American people, the administration, and Congress for their support, expressing his gratitude to us with clarity. But that's not what this is about, is it? www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gjw...

I keep checking myself from checking #Facebook today, as the Skinner Box reflex keeps stirring me to...just...look. I get far, far less reinforcement here on #bluesky, which makes this, what? Social media methadone?

My diabolical satire is now officially an #Amazon #Bestseller, standing at #6 in the category [checks notes] "Blasphemy, Heresy, and Apostasy." Well. That's both oddly specific and oddly appropriate. #trump #antichrist https://www.amazon.com/Trump-Antichrist-Lucius-HaSatan-ebook/dp/B09Q6GB8J8

Red Letter Christians was founded by evangelical Tony Campolo and neomonastic Shane Claiborne to reassert the heart of a faith that is too often made an instrument of worldly powers. Glad to have an excerpt from THE PRAYER OF UNWANTING as part of their witness.

Watching the first season of #Severance meant being immersed in a surreal world full of dark twists and ominous turns and a constant sense of portentous dread. The second season continues with that vibe. It doesn't feel all that different from America in 2025.

Never, in the thousands of years of human history, has "burning it all down" worked out. That's because the yearning to destroy and the yearning for apocalypse aren't the same thing. www.belovedspear.org/2016/07/burn...

Love your enemies? Sure. Enemies are great. You can love watching them suffer. You can love watching them weep. You can love watching them lick your shoes after you’ve publicly humiliated them. - Lucius HaSatan, #TRUMP #ANTICHRIST www.amazon.com/Trump-Antich...

In searching for an image or video to go with a post on Pharoah's hardened heart, I came across this image from Prince of Egypt. This is what a heart hardened against God looks like. Hmmm. Where have I recently seen that very same expression? buff.ly/4jTULz6

Upon reflection, my only disappointment with yesterday's Superbowl was that Trump did not choose to start a beef with Kendrick Lamar. Oh, what a glorious album that would have produced.

"Christianity is under attack," say the Trumpists. It is. But as with so much Trump does, that statement is projection. It's his regime that's attacking the faith, slandering those who welcome the stranger and feed the hungry and comfort the oppressed. An excellent article.

To put this false witness into context, it's worth noting that in the last 4 years Samaritan's Purse has received $90,000,000 in funding from USAID. My reflections at the link below. http://www.belovedspear.org/2025/02/hating-samaritan.html #franklingraham #USAID

Having written this theopolitical satire back in 2021 as a way of processing my rage following January 6, I'm in the peculiar position of lamenting that it's selling better than any of my other books. I wish it was utterly irrelevant. #trump #antichrist #satire www.amazon.com/Trump-Antich...

From the Island of Misfit Manuscripts: a carefully researched historical epic, one that tells the true story of the fall of Babylon. That 1,000 year old empire was felled not on the field of battle, or by plague or famine. It was destroyed by disinformation. #writing
