Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

Very Hungry Caterpillar: Raccoon Edition. Can I share this with my UU congregation as a story for all ages? I've already been thinking about why we are entranced with Jimothy in this moment - now I'm thinking of a whole service about the lessons we learn from raccoons, titled "Hot Racoon Summer".

We got hit by raccoons while yurt-camping. They opened the cooler & took the eggs, sausages, bread, and all the imported cheese. They left the domestic cheese.

Elon Musk is calling for the execution of the Economist editor who interviewed him. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

Today is July 25th, often celebrated as the fall of Italian fascism. Mussolini passed draconian controls over pasta production which he considered decadent and overly reliant on foreign grain. Today, we celebrate his fall with a simple, defiant partisan dish: 1) Pasta 2) Creamy butter 3) Parmesan

This is random, but I wanted to extend my gratitude to Democratic Congresswoman Joyce Beatty for her tireless effort in protecting the Kennedy Center from being fully destroyed by a vindictive jealous petty classless criminal. 💙👊

The phrase "I played some league and gpt-5.6-pro came back with a proof" is the most 2026 sentence imaginable.

Coming to a theatre near you This summer Jimothy IS The rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouching towards Bethlehem to be born

The farmer's daily thoughts are always of the weather. When it comes to the edge of harvest, fear of storm enfolds their minds. Prayers and rituals are deployed. Weather-witches are contracted. You may call this superstition, but you cannot call it hollow of meaning. – #CLNolan

This video of a woman telling an anti-abortion asshole to, "Shut the fuck up" is exactly what I needed to see on a Monday morning

Happy 80th birthday to a legend, a Mexican-American icon, and one of the greatest vocalists of all time, Miss Linda Ronstadt ✨

Beshear needs to do what Mitch would do in his shoes. The law they made to stop Beshear from appointing a replacement violates the state constitution. Make the friggin' appointment!!! Make them prove he's alive or take you to court (which will prove he's not alive).

Gov. Beshear suggests he received information suggesting McConnell ‘passed’ in new interview
