My quibbles aside, this is an interesting paragraph in the Times piece, one that discusses a hard-to-summarize thing in a way that is still helpful in showing how Scriptural debates across Christian divisions can (often, albeit not always) involve very different approaches to reading the same words.
There's a new hot bird in town! And it's the first time NYC has ever seen a trumpeter swan, in recorded history (after it came back from the brink of extinction). In the last week, it's been spotted frequently hanging out with one of our mute swans 👀

What the FUN?!
What have we won? A war crimes contest?
Always with the made-up timeline -- like that healthcare plan...
Uber doing whatever they can to lock you in and raise their prices.
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Drone strikes on Amazon Web Services facilities this week in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain highlight the vulnerability of cloud facilities — prominent symbols of US tech power in the region and hard to defend against air attack. Fars News Agency, an outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said on Thursday that Iran targeted Amazon and Microsoft facilities in recent drone strikes. Experts say Amazon’s facilities were likely targeted by Iran. Microsoft said it had not experienced any outages in the region. The strikes mark what is believed to be the world’s first military attack against the US “hyper…
I double checked. This is not being reported at WaPo.

Bensky: And then we have the moment where all of my information is released. All of these other survivors — all of our information is literally out there for the world to see. And you’re like, “Wow, the DOJ really — our government doesn’t care.”
With today’s further increase, oil prices have now climbed some 20% this week.

WAPO: “.. Since the war began Saturday, Russia has passed Iran the locations of U.S. military assets, including warships and aircraft, said the three officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.”

Luckily for Kristi Noem, Trump didn't order Ice agents to throw her into a pit and shoot her when she made a mistake. I guess he didn't read her book on leadership.

James Talarico: "To those who love this state, to those who love this country, to those who love our neighbors, it's time to start flipping tables."
WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.
She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.
Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.
The 3 people I blame for this stupid war other than Trump.
Vladimir Putin – gas station owner with delusions of grandeur.
Bibi Netanyahu – Israeli crime kingpin.
Mohammed bin Salman – bone saw aficionado.
All 3 profit from the U.S. attacking Iran. All 3 urged the idiot king along this path.
🔥 🇬🇧 @zarahsultana.bsky.social to Keir starmer : “There was no intelligence indicating an imminent threat— yet we’ve already seen pre-emptive strikes attacking a girls school, killing over 100 children… How much do you enjoy being Trump’s poodle?”
US State Department tells Americans to immediately leave 16 countries and territories: Bahrain, Egypt, Gaza, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, UAE, West Bank and Yemen.
Inflation, you know that thing the media made THE defining issue of the 2024 race, was continuing its downward trend right up until the launch of Trump's "liberation day" tariff war and it's been climbing steadily since to crickets in the media.
Iranian schoolgirls, U.S. troops, Israeli villagers, random Emiratis, Pakistani rioters and maybe a couple folks in a bar in Texas — all dead because of a vainglorious American dictator
Iran interfered in the 2020 election on Trump’s *behalf* by posing as Proud Boys and threatening democrats with physical injury if they didn’t vote for Trump. www.justice.gov/archives/opa...

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.
Prelude to a Porcupine Sandra Simonds Red text on beige with green silhouette of porcupine.
Loved this poetry collection by Sandra Simonds, Prelude to a Porcupine. Highly recommended. Sharp, funny, insightful. A live wire, an alive mind.
Trying to make Epstein about the Clintons shows how out of touch Trump is with today’s politics.
Bill Clinton’s opening statement to the House Oversight Committee.
Fox News miraculously rediscovered the Epstein story.
