Wow, @thomasjayoord.bsky.social's consistently great Oord Shorts podcast is in GOAT status right now. I strongly feel that both him and Donna Bowman's @donnadb.bsky.social take on amipotence is the big step that can bring tons of people back to church. Now please churches embrace this!

First play of PARKS! Sneaky engine builder, super direct but plenty of fingernail-biting tension as the endgame approaches. Final score range for our 3 players was 2 points — and I won!

In the end, people like effective governance. There's disagreement about what this means exactly, but it is very popular to ensure that essential services are provided, that the food supply isn't contaminated, that planes don't collide midair. People don't want a real-life version of Twitter.

If I had to capture the essence of “rightwing populism” I think I would cite the time in 1774 Virginia slaveowner Richard Henry Lee wanted to protest new taxes levied by the British so he forced his slaves to protest the tax hike on his behalf with banners denouncing the taxes as "chains of slavery"

The announcers at the Pop-tarts bowl just said that there is no such thing as a pop-tart; the product is called pop-tarts. I am trying to wrap my mind around this claim. I don’t think I can accept this corporate thought control.

RIP to John Cobb. His influence on many generations of theological thinkers — in the pulpit and the pew, at the podium and the seminar table, from California to China — cannot be overstated.
