May I point out that both El-Sayed and Stevens are Millennials. Generational shift. It's here. It's time. November up here won't just be about progressivism vs. fascism. It will also be about the future vs. the past.

That depends. Are you married to her?

Working in the mala today and a student comes up to me with a black widow on their leg: hey kumu, is this spider dangerous?

The joy of #writing: narrative begets research which begets cartography which begets sermon inspiration which begets clarity on introductory chapter resulting in a return to the current chapter.

Fun fact: I just published the full story on this topic mere minutes ago. By my count, at least 12 pastors, seminarians & former clergy have launched campaigns for federal office this year, and 5 are already nominees. In response, the GOP is attacking their faith. religionnews.com/2026/08/04/p...

'They're not real pastors': As clergy run as Democrats, Republicans question their faith

(RNS) — 'It's a sign that they are really scared they're gonna lose this seat,' the Rev. Sarah Trone Garriott, a Lutheran pastor running for Congress in Iowa, said. She is part of a wave of religious ...

Highly recommend listening to @jackjenkins.me in conversation with Dr. Amanda Henderson:

And I take it, you're not counting Raphael Warnock in this number, since he's not running this year. But he's in the pulpit at Ebenezer Baptist most Sundays while serving as a U.S. Senator. (His dissertation was on the topic of Black pastors as political leaders)

The war has cost at least $100 billion. The Saudi have earned $47 billion from increased oil prices. The top six gas and diesel companies, Chevron, Exxon, Shell, BP, etc. have earned $50 billion. Next, the defense industry will see all of that many times over for restocking our war closet.

13. Hence our dismal conclusion: rather than finding that LLMs free us to do a better job of what we were doing before they came along, they shift scientific incentives (and the playing field of academic competition) in ways that compel us to do more and more, faster and faster, less and less well.

Hundreds of Haitians, Somalis and other black and brown folk stripped of documentation and legitimacy. I absolutely dread the coming actions.

Ursula. King Triton usurped her throne and she STILL tried to help his teenage daughter by attempting to prevent her from marrying a dude 3 days after she got her vagina.

John Cornyn is not anybody’s hero. He’s not hanging up the confirmation because TB is in the president’s pocket or, that he failed to release all of the JE files and protect victims. The notion there should not be a slush fund and, a career grifter shouldn’t get a pass on taxes is not heroic.

I always suggest Wil Gafney's Womanist Midrash.

Emmett Till would be 85 today. TODAY. Every semester, I think about the fact that he would be one of my mama's siblings; older than her, but younger than her sister. Not a distant past. Someone who should've experienced growing old.

Astronomers found a unique "exosatellite" orbiting a brown dwarf 73 light-years away in the CD-35 2722 system. While massive enough to be a planet, its position makes it look like a giant gaseous moon, blurring the definitions of planets and moons.

Astronomers may have discovered the 1st moon outside of our solar system — or is it something weirder?

"This system is somewhat hard to define using solar-system-based words like 'planet' and 'moon.'"

At least 52 people have died in ICE custody since Trump returned to the White House. At least 23 people have been shot at by federal immigration agents. And thousands more have been caged, separated from their families, or shipped off to dangerous countries. The cruelty is endless.

He is defending Maga veterans and seniors and poor white women and their children who vote for him but live in states that didn’t vote for him. And some of them will still vote for him and the policies that are ravaging them and their community.

This is immediate impeachment-and-removal behavior for any other president and all involved cabinet secretaries (who, in any other administration, would have already resigned in disgrace)

The FDA has announced that 1.6 million eggs have been contaminated with salmonella, forcing a nationwide recall. Last year, the Trump administration scrapped regulations to limit salmonella and laid off hundreds of food safety inspection workers.

They really are trying to kill off people. These rollbacks on public health, water, air and food are not to save money!!!!!!!

If you're pissed at the Dodgers going to the White House, stop watching MLB. The majority of players are Evangelical Trumpers so STOP funding their livelihood and their contributions to non-profit Christian organizations like Turning Point. Starve the beast people.

I am glad the Pope is doing this... and it's completely in keeping with Catholic Doctrine... But having an American in the Chair of St. Peter, at this time, is blessing, because the sotto voce condemnation is so very loud; with those who have ears to hear.
