This Pacers team is so relentless

When AN Whitehead said that early Christians paid God “metaphysical compliments”, he was referring to Christians giving God the characteristics of the Roman Emperor. On the other hand, when Jesus said “the kingdom of God”, he wasn’t referring to such a concept.

gang, no one cares if *you* think one fighter has a chance or not, the reason we’re here is because the two fighters each think they have a chance

Kunu: It looks like you got a little pain behind those eyes. Dan Bongino: Yeah, maybe a little. Kunu: There's really only one cure for that. Dan: Yeah, what's that? Kunu: Weed. You got any?

Kinda think sentencing the Boers to Idaho, unsupported, is worse? Open to pushback here

I do bet there's some funny shit going down at Mar-A-Lago right now.

If you plot the vector that Elon's doing with "Trump's a RINO, porky bill!" to "Trump's in the Epstein Files!", and then project it forward, I think we should have at least one more escalation in the "he's a fraud" vein.

one of the core fictions that runs through the NYT is the haunting, well-heeled suspicion that the US gov't needs big business more than big business needs the government

WACO 2: STARBASE, TEXAS

just had a brief glimpse of the cathartic flood that's gonna come when Trump dies, i think i levitated

*research scientists, trembling while he removes his glasses and looks away from the charts* ....we're....we're...at 0.7 Balloon Boys out there, sir. Don't know if we've seen these numbers in a decade.

Imagining this in the Weather Channel local forecast narrator voice

For those of you who are new to forum wars, the normal pattern now will be at least 6-8 hrs of silence from the meltdown combatants. Expect new strange posts this evening in the midnight to 4 am window.

Right now, this very second, there are evangelicals who are stoked that this is their chance to get Elon into a men's group Bible study

As iron sharpens iron, So does one poster sharpen another when The Good Shit happens

Found the tequila to give all the Resistance moms, dads, aunts, and uncles in your life this weekend

Laura Loomer is going to lock herself to Katie Miller

RFK gonna send Elon to the raw water corvée labor rehab

Trump needs to go on Duncan Trussell’s podcast and clear the air

okayokayokay, you guys: you know that Whooshing feeling of Hell Yah you're feeling right now? That sensation of a collective uprising, and of seeing someone get a little "outside" themselves, into a register we refer to as higher than normal humanity? Feel that crackle of energy? This is revivalism

kind of a meta note: really wild to see how many people see all conflicts as things that you have to take a side on

wonder how the next few months will go for the DOGE interns

relationship anarchy—an egalitarian philosophy and approach to dating, which treats romantic and platonic relationship equally—is on the rise

Cutting off the allowance for a loved one abusing substances can be so hard, and it's never guaranteed to work.

Update: Farm Bill passed the subcommittee and heads for the full Appropriations committee vote. Rep Harris runs the subcommittee, and he's been against hemp and marijuana for a long time. Not sure I see Tom Cole stopping it either.

Something wonderfully confirming about these findings about Twitter “supersharers”. A bunch of gnarled old moms and dads, bitter about the world. These are the noble battlegrounds that our dimmest heroes think must be contested. Still Wancil, eat your heart out.

Sorry, meant to include this earlier, but, just for the record (and yes he does this alot): the Trump WH is pulling another fast one, saying that his 2024 election had a "mandate" to clean up hemp-derived cannabinoids. Trump didn't make *any* comments about hemp during the campaign.

It gets high-falutin' really fast, but the point of saying Cannabis Is Weird is because it doesn't really fit any of our categories of goods/products. It's a commodity crop, a source for pharmaceuticals, an aid, a recreational retail good, a botanical flower, etc. Shoehorning it is presumptuous.
