Going back to the "Christian" childrens book....is there an echo in here?

History's echo, echo, echo.

Likewise. My mom went to Woodstock...with photos to prove it...and voted for Trump. I'm not sure of her current stance because we don't talk about it, but I know she watches Fox all day, so I'm pretty sure which way the wind blows in that house.
If you look at the overlap of much of that movement (not all of it, but much of it), it was based on selfishness and self-indulgence. Free love and let's do all the drugs weren't exactly movements meant to better other people -- they were meant to satisfy individual wants and desires. And the impact on anyone else be damned.
So, "I deserve everything that I want, nobody better threaten that, and to hell with everyone else." That might as well be the Trumpism motto, and it overlaps perfectly with a sizable percentage of the Woodstock generation.
Selfishness and narcissism are the bedrock values of generation Trump.

Hey, just in case you were wondering whether we've descended into pure, unabashed evil that (bonus) is actually celebrated by "Christian" leaders....

Isn't it fun how this CHRISTIAN author depicts [checks notes] Central Americans fleeing their violent countries?
QuoteWe are at the fascist children’s literature stage. This is not a good place to be. Indeed, this is a very, very bad place to be. This isn’t edgy, or funny—it’s dangerous.
Metaxas is a well-known Christian author. Franklin Graham, also pictured in the image at the beginning of my article, is one of the best-known evangelical leaders in the country. And yet—well—here we are.
I try not to throw the word fascism around lightly, I really do. I wasn’t initially planning to use it here at all. When I first came upon the tweet with the picture of Metaxas and Graham holding these books, I expected myself to be horrified. I expected to take away some lesson and write about it. What I didn’t expect was to be reminded so strongly, so viscerally, of a Nazi children’s book I viewed in an archive a decade ago.
Nothing like a little dehumanization of "the other." You know, one of the basic steps in ethno-nationalism and genocide.
We're the fucking bad guys. We're looking at the Nazi playbook, and instead of recoiling in horror, we're saying "dude, cool! We should run those plays!" Fuck this country, fuck anyone who supports this fucking administration, and perhaps most importantly, fuck those "Christian" leaders who champion this shit. We have "Christian" leaders championing propaganda that LITERALLY DEPICTS "the immigrant" and "the least of these" as monsters. It's as opposite of the Gospel as you can get, and they perversely claim that it's actually a Christian stance.

I never heard of the Columbia Bugle before so I googled. Wow.
https://mobile.twitter.com/ColumbiaBugle/status/1199194425647218688?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^tweet
(don't know how to embed tweets)
The Columbia Bugle sounds like some sort of scat trick you have to pay a hooker extra for. So, the newsfeed actually makes perfect sense when you look at it that way. -
I had haggis, and loved it. It's like boudin for inherently violent people.
Yep. My whole family loves it. My kids are Mexican Coonass Scots, so they were destined to love it.
My daughter visited Edinburgh solo when looking at colleges. She waited at the World’s End to be seated for a dinner of haggis, neeps and tatties, and sticky toffee pudding. She got much respek from the bar staff.-

Oh, and the only things on that list I HAVEN'T had: Lancashire hotpot, steak and kidney pudding, laver bread, and jellied eels (although I have had eels several different ways). And most of the rest of the stuff on that list, I really like. There's a couple that I'm just okay on, but the rest, I genuinely like.

Prediction on actual attendance for Texas Tech @ Texas? Considering it'll be pouring rain apparently...
About tree fiddy.
I had free VIP tix with valet parking etc offered to me....the boy and I turned em down. -
Man, I love black pudding. Seriously, I’ve bought it here and made it for breakfast for the daughter and me.

Dude, it has all the cool heist elements, down to torching the getaway car.
Also, my daughter was there recently, but promises me she wasn’t casing the joint. I’m keeping an eye on her spending, just because. -
Just had a friend share a Pavlovitz piece that rings rather loudly right now:
https://johnpavlovitz.com/2019/02/21/everyone-around-you-is-grieving-go-easy/Everyone is grieving and worried and fearful, and yet none of them wear the signs, none of them have labels, and none of them come with written warnings reading, I’M STRUGGLING. BE KIND TO ME.
And since they don’t, it’s up to you and me to look more closely and more deeply at everyone around us: at work or at the gas station or in the produce section, and to never assume they aren’t all just hanging by a thread. Because most people are hanging by a thread—and our simple kindness can be that thread.
We need to remind ourselves just how hard the hidden stories around us might be, and to approach each person as a delicate, breakable, invaluable treasure—and to handle them with care.
As you make your way through the world today, people won’t be wearing signs to announce their mourning or to alert you to the attrition or to broadcast how terrified they are—but if you look with the right eyes, you’ll see the signs.
There are grieving people all around you.
Go easy.
I just can’t help but think about how fragile we all can be in a particular moment. And how just a little bit of someone else’s strength can help.
Twicehorn is right - mere kindness generally isn’t a difference maker in cases of severe clinical depression. But there are enough folks on the margins who can be helped...and that’s worth it. -

There is no bottom.

And that fella almost certainly regularly cries and masturbates while wearing women’s underwear. Compensation and all that.

I will no longer shy away from discussions about those “weird” kids, whether gay or trans or depressed or whatever, because it’s uncomfortable. I’ll stand up for them and advocate where I can. Because in the end they are like you and me, they are sons and daughters, friends, classmates... They are human. That was made abundantly clear.
And so much this. There's an epidemic of loneliness in our society, even for folks who fit into the conventional box. For those who don't....it's so much harder. But they are all fellow children of God, taking this journey along with us. We just need to walk alongside them and love them. No matter what.

I know you keep the faith, brisket. Judge I'm sorry for y'alls lost. I'm glad you're turning this into a positive, and hopefully your sister and bil will find peace.
Yeah, I couldn't sing any of the hymns Saturday. Here I am Lord, and Canticle of the Turning. Perfect hymns for the person, and the service. I just fucking cried through both of them.

I've seen the Steel Shank thread. There's no way you don't have the worst smelling farts on the planet.
I won't DENY mimicking the scent of a skunk wrapped in bologna cooked over a tire fire. If that's what you're getting at. My main point here is....my flatulence is more qualified to be POTUS than the current occupant of the office. It's more honest, sincere, and achieves excellence on the regular.

Yeah....decibels are where it's at. Time and odor count, but decibels are how champions are determined.

No there is absolutely nothing that piece of shit won’t lie about.
If you let forth the worst smelling fart in history and bragged about it he would lie and claim he was actually the one who let forth the worst smelling fart in history. He’s a fucking psychopath.
I don't know about worst smelling, but the loudest....well, that was me, in a one-room hunting cabin during goose season, 1989. Right after folks drifted off to sleep. Was on the floor in a sleeping bag, perfect conditions. It shook the walls. It woke up the other 9 guys there. They even asked if I was okay.
If Trump says otherwise, he's absolutely lying. I have witnesses.

Art is good for the soul, that's what brings people together. Here you go fellas:
If the phrase "looks like a million bucks" didn't already exist, it would have been coined just for her. Always. Even at her worst.

Well, gotta give him credit. After finishing his last official duties at the White House, he at least had the class to wipe the jizz off his chin.

A guy named David Pecker is a central figure in a scandalous presidency of a reality TV gameshow host who fucked and paid off a pornstar, along with two absurd looking Ukrainians involved in a business named "Fraud Gaurantee," and they also work closely with the president's personal lawyer who is an acclaimed cyber-security expert who regularly buttdials people and confesses crimes on live TV.
This is the most ridiculous simulation ever.
And I didn't even mention the blackmailed gay Republican southern senator.
