On Monday, my wife will drive through the new ten-foot gate and fence surrounding her school where they will fire live rounds so teachers will know what real gunfire sounds like as they learn to apply tourniquets to children.

We feel so free.

Jump around. Jump up, jump up, and get down #caturday

As a Gen Xer, I confess that I did not expect a major portion of my midlife political energy to be spent on helping to finish off the Confederacy and finally end the Civil War.

What do I do for a living? Like many of you, my primary occupation is entering passwords and two-factor codes all into a variety of apps and websites all day long.

The 3 year old wanted more home made bread today. But he did not appreciate my efforts to give personality to his food.

I'd block a lot less ads if they were truly ads and not just #surveillancecapitalism in disguise as ads.

Ad blockers getting more and more effective 💪💪

Trump trying to move the trial to WV is his legal team saying “DC is full of Black and/or educated people and our client will do better in front of undereducated white folk, because they are suckers, er, Trump’s peers.” No matter how you slice it it’s a baaad argument.

Looks like we have a 15M band opening from central AZ in to Northern Europe today. Awesome! Glad to see things are coming back again. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

As Jennifer Miller reports, the intense pressure placed on young Mormons to conform to the expectations of their religious community by marrying heterosexually (and refraining from all ssxual activity including masturbation prior to marriage) leads many young Mormons who know they are LGBTQ to seek "reparative" "therapy" — to pray away the gay.

Or, in the casue of "therapist" Scott Owen — to prey the gay….

The numbers of those who don't affiliate with any religion are surging in the U.S., but only 4% of Americans self-identify as "atheist." And while we may not have an official national religion, Christianity is largely baked into many aspects of our culture. With it comes stigma attached to atheism, which makes many reluctant to embrace it.

But why? Should the lack of religious belief really be looked upon any differently than belief? We unpack that question and more today in The Big Picture: https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/atheism-america-stigma-religion-christianity
