It really is true that everything Republicans say is projection. One of the thugs holding the USA hostage calls his enemies hostage-takers.

I truly hope my next call is to a church whose building has absolutely no stairs on the grounds or in the building. (Yes, I’m lugging my books up to my office, why do you ask?)

Beside the point, but: is part of the distortion of politics that someone age 40 can still be a β€œYoung Republican”? (Or, presumably, a β€œYoung Democrat”?) I mean, you only have to be 35 to be president…

10 So Samuel reported all the words of the LorD to the people who were asking him for a king. 11 He said, "These will be the ways of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen, and to run before his chariots, 12 and he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties and some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots. 13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14 He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive orchards and give them to his courtiers. 15 He will take one-tenth of your grain and of your vineyards and give it to his officers and his courtiers. 16 He will take your male and female slaves and the best of your cattle and donkeys and put them to his work.
17 He will take one-tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves. 18 And on that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the Lord will not answer you on that day."

Hey Grok, What's a Waste of Energy? AI amidst the climate emergency

Data centers are "shaping up to be the mother of all political issues...pretty much everyone pays electric rates, & under Trump they’re starting to skyrocket...he’s simultaneously accelerating demand w/ his support for data center buildout, & constricting supply by shutting down cheap solar & wind."

Deaths of Hip-Hop Artists Reveal the Alarming State of Black Men’s Health Neo-soul singer D'Angelo joins growing list of Gen X Black male performers who are dying relatively young.

I’d been thinking for a while that it seems like a startling number of rappers have died in their mid-40s to mid-50s from natural causes but it didn’t really feel like an epidemic until I saw this list. 😦

Preacher-me looking ahead to Advent. I have a rule never to skip the Magnificat, no matter what the RCL does. This church I just started with has a β€œChristmas pageant” on that Sunday. Trying to figure out what Sunday to sacrifice to keep the Magnificat. #PreacherSky
