@Dallas_0341 @Mormonger Vet women are different. Met more than a few female vet mechanics. Also, lesbians. A vet lesbian is basically a dude.

@MarieleRedclaw Ruin. RU-IN. You keep putting out these bangers!

[J. Whitebread @JWhitebread1]

@SimsHolodeck Agreed. The movies just didn't "get" the books IMO. It makes the wizarding world far more mundane and less wonderful to make it realist. It kills the wonder and whimsy, which is what makes it work in the books. I have few hopes for the new series.

@1000HolyPlaces I love the stories of Budai. The idea that this jovial fat monk was secretly the Buddha Maitreya, is also fascinating.

If your education didn't teach you how to love music, literature and art, you've learned everything about making a living and nothing about being alive.

Heh.

@MarieleRedclaw He said "ruin" not "make more awesome."

No, I think Jeff Koons and Banksy are as well known, but there are few that have had as great an impact as Warhol, and if I am being honest, Koons is 100% derivative and pointless, and Banksy didn't start that way, but he is now. So there seems to be no vitality in contemporary art. It is absolutely moribund and I can't think of the last time it actually shocked anyone. Maybe the Young British Artists and the Saatchi collection's exhibition of the "Sensation" show, but that was in the 90s. That's pretty ancient now.

@SandyofCthulhu Even LEGO thinks this is evil. What are you trying to do? Conquer Gaul? Yikes.

@BSpackman @kiwiinarizona Sure, it's not secret, but it wasn't exactly publicized either. It resulted in a few good things, mostly stuff like Robinson's "How Wide the Divide."

So I have mentioned before how because of my CES friends I was privy to the effort the church made to build bridges with evangelicals and lower the temperature of the debate between us in the 90s and early 00s. Despite all the initial cautious optimism, the outcome was...disappointing let us say. It became clear that they didn't just disagree with us, they opposed us vigorously.

I have no inside information since then, but it seems to me we are seeing two results of that outcome. The first, a greater outreach to Catholics and religions that are less hostile to us, and second a greater emphasis on the freedom of religion.

On the first day of a 10-day ministry, Elder Ulisses Soares (@Ulisses__Soares) met on Monday with civic and global religious leaders in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Pope Leo XIV joined the gathering at San Martin Palace as part of his official papal visit to South America. Elder Soares, a native of Brazil, will also visit Paraguay.

@jkimballcook But seriously, how salty WAS Bonneville? My impression was, not very.

@jkimballcook So what you're saying is we can fix Superior then...

@DaddyWarpig Women: We need books that will teach boys to avoid toxic masculinity, patriarchy and oppression!

Also women: Now if you excuse me, I need to get back to reading the latest werewolf billionaire pirate domination bondage romantasy.

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!

Ladies....this is truth.
Not kidding.

Happy Veteran's day

This is absolutely ridiculous. That is obviously the livery of a Hopistaler and not a Templar. How can you not know this?!

A Brazilian vigilante is wearing medieval knight armor to fight crime after his home was broken into three times

The Templar patrols the streets and says he’s a “symbol of hope” who “represents people who are tired of losing”
