yup - people around him are bundled for winter; people around her are dressed for warmer weather

Martha Stewart, 84, wants to be composted in 'clean linen sheet' like her horses Martha Stewart wants to be composted after her death, following the same natural burial method she uses for her horses on her property.

In lectures on natural burial, I often contrast the gritty reality of natural burial w/ what I describe as a curated "Martha Stewart approach"... but now that's apparently going to be a thing www.the-express.com/entertainmen...

The question of whether one act of murder broke rules of war - when there is no war, when dozens of ppl have already been executed w/o trial, when there is attempt to overthrow a sovereign govt by force - is starting to feel less like an investigation than an act of imperial legitimation

A Perturbed System A moving study of how religion shapes Western climate discourse.   Our ecological system is disturbed, and with it, every other system we’ve built to inhabit it. We do not face inevitable destruction,...

Things seem bleak, and that's been the way of things for a few years now. Which is exactly the feeling that led me to write this book - that now has its very own webpage where you can preorder it!

People having all sorts of weird folk beliefs with only loose ties to material reality that spread organically via social connections is, like, the normal state of being for humans.

Courage is real. but sadly this video is fake. You should delete it.

Tucker Carlson Once Lauded Harvey Milk's Killer and Antigay Senator A yearbook image of Carlson listing membership in the Dan White Society and Jesse Helms Foundation is authentic, according to Trinity College.

That's authentic, but it's his college yearbook from Trinity College, Hartford, not his high school yearbook. www.advocate.com/media/2021/4...

New Florida law protects consumers from one kind of moving scam. Here’s what to know. Moving brokers are no longer allowed to give estimates, and they must register with the state.

Maybe worth a call to the credit card company first -- couldn't hurt, and much faster/cheaper than going to court.

Not surprised this was a Florida-based company. State law used to allow them to scam, but it looks like a new law may offer some help in small claims? www.tampabay.com/news/real-es...

The (shady) industry has written some of the laws, and there were some legal bars our friends were wondering if they could clear. The credit card reversal ended up being a weird/surprising shortcut. Power to you!

I’m so sorry! This happened to a friend of mine. After getting their stuff back they did succeed in getting the extra charges reversed by a credit card company. RMMV

maybe don't repost it then?

what in the Katz statement do you disagree with?

If Mamdani said... whatever-it-is-you-just-wrote... then I'd be worried too. But he didn't. You wrote some incoherent stuff and then critiqued it yourself.

Whether you intend it or not, you come off as concern trolling.

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

Newspaper clipping from the ‘Chicago Tribune’ on 1883 November 18. A map of the newly created zones of Standard Time across the contiguous United States is displayed, with the meridians indicated for 75° west of Greenwich as Eastern Time, 90° west as Central, 105° Mountain, and 120° Pacific. Headline is “Standard Time – At Noon Today Most of the Railroads Will Discard the Old and Adopt the New”. The article explains this new system, then lists how many minutes to adjust clocks in major cities away from local mean solar time.

On this day in 1883: Standard Time is adopted across the United States, to simplify travel and communications, while keeping clocks within a half hour of solar time. #OTD

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

I’m out here at Broadview ICE detention center where a group of inter-faith leaders just got arrested trying to deliver pastoral care to those locked up inside. Peg Haar from Grace Lutheran Church in Evanston says both her son and her pastor were arrested just now.

On principle I simply don’t endorse wishing violence on people, especially as a public joke. For a host of reasons including how wishing violence on people changes the *wisher*. On this point I think people should be careful for *spiritual* reasons, whether or not it’s simply expedient.

Happy 3,177th anniversary of the first recorded workers’ strike ✊

the length of detention is less important than the underlying claim that's already demonstrated: the private prison lobby supports strict immigration enforcement. e.g.: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

What we are reading in the emails is already wildly conspiratorial.

That’s *before* any additional speculation.

Why clergy should risk assault to protest ICE (RNS) — For people wanting to experience God, we are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church.

Glad you brought this up. Seems like the Josephus quote is a weak foundation for the matter-of-fact descriptions of "Torah-only" I've seen too.

Ellis rules that the Trump administration impermissibly prevented the free exercise of religion, in violation of the First Amendment.
Those engaged in prayer have been shot, without warning, with pepper balls and tear gas, Ellis says.
