God let His son die for us.
Then He made His son alive again three days later.

A) What fucking sacrifice? A long weekend?

B) If God only magics His own kids well again, what fucking use is He to the rest of us?

God wants us to understand science. For example, to make sure we understand the Second Law of Thermodynamics, He gave us aging and death.

One on left is a black dog and above it the words “Reality”. Below it is “I chased a squirrel” 

One the right is a black dog and above it says “LinkedIn”. Below it says, 

Proud to announce that I effectively executed a rapid-response squirrel displacement strategy to mitigate potential yard intrusions.

Humbled by the unwavering support of my family and local stakeholders.

This experience reinforced the importance of vigilance, ownership, and continuous improvement.

Looking forward to scaling this impact in future engagements.

Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13)

Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) 

But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Of all the things that never happened, this ‘Melania’ movie moment never happened the most. How much do you think they paid Nick to write this fiction?

On the anniversary of the UK leaving the EU, it is worth hearing once again the many benefits of Brexit, clearly articulated by those who voted for it.

Pretty sure he’s trying to hide the scar he got trying to steal a medallion off a woman in a bar fire in Nepal in the 1930s.

Remember the Soviet joke about a man who always goes to look at the papers but never buys one. The news agent asks him what he's looking for and he says, "An obituary" and the news agent points out that they're always in the back section. "This one won't be".
