Going in I was going to be content with a 2-0 loss or better. Can’t believe I’m this disappointed in this result now. Hopefully a good sign of things to come.

I think it benefitted from being in the Star Wars universe, so it felt a little more lived in than some.

You actually made me remember another FPS we played as well, Dark Forces. I’m curious where that would fit in this analysis.

I’m so glad you mentioned Marathon. We had a lunchtime group in high school that took over the Mac lab to play.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.

Gonna do a thread of interesting court records. Whatever platform (Bluesky or Twitter) gets the most retweets in the next 15 minutes gets it. Posting this on both sites.

Ron, I get that you're angry. I get that you want accountability. You probably want a little revenge. Probably a lot of revenge. But your comment is completely absurd. It's clownish. It's inhumane. You're better than this. And you should be better informed.

Usually on Independence Day I eat a medically unsafe number of hotdogs and then, while waiting for the fireworks to start, talk about cool stuff adjacent to the bits of history everyone knows, like how it took six weeks for Britain to even *find out* about the Declaration, and how it was reported

This last episode of Welcome to Wrexham is probably the best edited documentary episode I’ve ever seen.

Great piece. As a US kid, I lived for a few years off and on in Cambridge. I think if it as a second home. Not a holiday town by any stretch, but the lovely people, history, and way of life make me want to go back all the time. Wrexham is the same way and I hope to visit soon.

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday
Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name
Genie: okie dokie

Was very glad to look it up and find that’s parody account.

Good to know, thanks!

How do they compare? Like US Cadbury is not nearly as good as UK…

Wow I forgot there was a time it was usable.

Oh I know. Just came out of nowhere lol…and I knew he’d passed since August, but still 😭

The episode seriously needed a content warning. I was not prepared 10 minutes in.

That was an I love Lucy plot.

a man in a suit and tie is standing in front of a sign that says " my spouse is sleeping around " . Alt: a man in a suit and tie says “What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

I’m both glad that this gif exists in these times, and sad at the number of occasions it’s relevant.

This is false. The GFS has always had an early season bias toward over aggressive development. I am all for blasting DOGE for causing real problems. This is not one of them. At all. Full stop.

It also reminds me of Luke 18:9-14, superficial self-righteousness.

Probably the editing of episode 3. It could have been over the top in a bad and cringy way but it worked really well.

Arsonist says he will stop pouring gas on an already engulfed house.

So use a different word 🤷‍♂️ functionally doesn’t make a difference.

It’s very curious for sure. If you google him there’s nothing outside of references to his esoteric site. That’s pretty atypical.

Ok so no actual argument. Got it. KJV got a good laugh though so thanks for that.

Ok? Maybe I’m wrong but anonymous pseudonym at super secret knowledge site seems sketchy.

I’m not sure your point because different interpretations being discarded is exactly what I said. You started off this conversation talking about branching…the above, and what I said, is not branching, it’s refining.

Sorry I’m just skeptical of any podcast guy who won’t even use his real name.

But your whole point, without proof, was it was branching like crazy and not just ruling out heresies.

And congrats, the podcast links to some reasonable sources. But *your* source is someone who doesn’t even use their real name. It just sounds like Gnosticism, hyping some secret knowledge.

How does the historical record argue against the early Christian church development being in large part ruling out heresies?

A podcast?!? No offense but there’s a whole body of literature out there beyond one guy with a mic.

Do you have sources for: “but that's very much a postion inside your denomination, not the historical record.”

And: “His thoughts turned *into* a new religion, but it’s not correct to say he set out to that.”
