american evangelical christianity is more or less antinomian. it lacks any moral requirements which cannot be instantaneously and privately absolved, does not require that you be catechized by anything other than John 3:16, and ratifies every impulse which you might have.

I would be remiss not to point out that "Tricking Milli Vanilli into performing a concert for a dictator" is LITERALLY a storyline from the 1990s 'Super Mario Bros 3' cartoon 🙃
Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · 2mo agoMilli Vanilli singer Jodie Rocco told AP that neither she, her sister Linda Rocco nor any of the other group members had been asked to come “My sister and I were shocked to see our name, ‘Milli Vanilli’, as one of the performers,” Jodie Rocco said
The ideological cargo cults around AI--"It's all fake" vs "We will build and enslave the Omnissiah"--are utterly toxic & a huge distraction from a remarkable tech, nothing short of miraculous in some respects but oft improperly used in others. It's not fake, it's not God, a lot of work lies ahead.

PERFECT ENDING TO A SEVEN YEAR D&D CAMPAIGN my character died after sacrificing herself to save the world but her friends slew the big boss (her evil dad) and then I got to read my goodbye letter and everyone INCLUDING THE DM cried BUT THEN SOME SPIRITS BROUGHT ME BACK fuck i love this game
This is one of the best ES I’ve played in Fallen London, and in a game known for *fabulous* writing that is a high bar. My playthrough was a bit atypical, but it ended with my character delivering a line that had me genuinely guffawing. Bravo @hthrflwrs.bsky.social and @failbettergames.com !

I’ve seen enough. God is 1) real 2) nonbinary 3) primarily motivated by a deep hatred of JD Vance
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 4mo agoJD Vance is on a historic roll: He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose. Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses. Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably. Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.

It's just *true* that the only good Live Action Disney Remake was 101 Dalmatians with Glenn Close, and that was *thirty years ago*.

Basic answer over here, but it’s those interchangeable melons in a fruit salad that taste like rind. Everybody eats around it, no point.
Apologies for the very Catholic post, but is anyone else cutting screen time or social media for Lent (or has)? Interested in seeing what practices/guidelines/approaches people use when their jobs require them to be pretty online. I’ve heard journalists and pols are the worst with this 😬
Being in Canada during a gold medal Olympic game is wild. Every bar opened at like 7:30 this morning, and the atmosphere is as tense as election night in the US.
