Jeffrey Epstein and the Myth of the Culture Wars - Christianity Today Some leaders of different political stripes teach us to hate each other, but they’re playing for the same team.

The Epstein files reveal many things- but one is that dark and cynical people have an interest in keeping us divided and distracted while they prey on the innocent and plunder the vulnerable.

"What I want to happen is more. Is that even okay, to want more? All the death and loss of 2025 has made me insatiably greedy. The more people who die the more I want to not die.. I'm working on that, it seems unseemly."

😁

Fun!

Less More, More or Less read me please

New substack dispatch:
"I cry more, easily, with less pain, because my losses have become part of everyone else’s losses. In this coming of aging, humanity expands; I give more and want less, and empathy is as compelling and strong as desire was when I was young."

"I’m sure I was surrounded by Spotify’s top streaming artists, but I didn’t recognize one single person. Charli XCX could’ve come sat on my lap and I wouldn’t know. At least at Cruel World I will know if Nick Cave is next to me at catering or if Shirley Manson sits on my lap."

Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heav’n and home,
When Jesus is my portion?
My constant Friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
