If we Christians in America need Christianity to be the dominant religion, our faith isn’t in Jesus, it’s in ordinary human power.

It is a movement that seeks to pay women not to work, impose sex-based segregation in universities, repeal 19A, insists wives be subservient to husbands, and demands that God and Man's laws be merged. Sounds a lot like Islam.

Last Sunday our pastor said that if a church advocates for refugees and the unborn, it will draw fire from both sides of the political aisle. Maybe that's a good litmus test for a church's public witness--does it offend people on both the right and the left?

Have you guys seen the at guy who uses an Apple Vision Pro to do all his installs? Feels like looking at tech from the future

Trump: My wife told me, “Sir, do me a favor, please pronounce vegan properly.” I called it vaygan. How the hell would I know? I like steak.

We’ve lost an icon. Margaret Hamilton, a computer science pioneer best known for her work at MIT leading development of the flight software for the Apollo missions to the moon, has died at 90. Read about her legacy via MIT News: news.mit.edu/2026/margaret-h…

Damn look at this high school. Could be straight out of a movie.

So much history in a single map. Even the "no data" part tells a story of westward expansion. A cool dataviz worth studying for a bit. Also, it must be hard finding foreign born folks in Alabama.

Sorry but what the actual fuck

The public face & fundraiser of Noah’s Ark Scans @noahsarkscans, @LaurenWitzkeDE under the leadership of Andrew Jones @arkeologist, complains that “all” Indian businesses are “in on it” when it comes to scams. Y’know, just like Jesus would say.

Most of the Theobro nonsense is just noise at this point, but sometimes something breaks through. Considering it bad for women to have“Unsupervised access to one another” is an INSANE thing to say. Like utterly insane. Women are not children in need of “supervision”.

That moment you realize the US military is going to build a massive fucking military base right next to that piece of prime real estate that is estimated to have 13 billion barrels of prospected recoverable oil resources and that the US government has been trying to start drilling operations at with the Texas based company Greenland energy.

kidz today are so grade-inflated that they don't know a 3.0 average was considered pretty good back then. The average GPA in the 90's was about 2.8

Hit dogs holler (see anon comments)

Why are we now all pretending this is anything more than entry-grade Euroslop? It’s a parody of high culture. It’s a cruise ship band playing to people who want to hear the theme from Dr Zhivago or Schindler’s List played by an average violinist in an overwrought frilly dress.

An extraordinary @Nature paper has just landed from the lab of @Sergiu_P_Pasca at @Stanford - led by Konstantin Kaganovsky. They have found a way to create "xenocortical mice" which have ~92% of their cortex occupied by a cortical organoid derived from human stem cells. This human-derived cortical graft integrates deeply with the host nervous system, supporting organised neural activity and behaviour. This study is a milestone in synthetic biology and chimera research. It has the potential to generate multiple medical breakthroughs by providing an enhanced biological model of human brain tissue that allows behavioural as well as neural and genetic assays. The Stanford team have been exceptionally thorough and proactive in addressing ethical concerns that comes from this frontier work. But their pioneering work nonetheless raises many open questions: are the xenocortical mice conscious? Do they have any human-like properties of consciousness or cognition? @NitaFarahany and I will be addressing some of these questions in a forthcoming commentary - where we'll also offer an ethically-informed roadmap to guide this important research as it progresses. In this context, "pacing the frontier" really does make sense 😉 Read the Stanford @nature paper here, and buckle up. It's wild. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

People have been taking empty milk jugs to the gas station to see how much gas they’re actually getting for a gallon’s worth. The results are not good.
