Rev. 21: 1, 3-4 "I saw a new heaven and a new earth. Death will be no more: the former things have passed away." Celibate gay man. Dyslexic. Views my own.

To all those who follow me on X, know that you brighten my days. Many of you are more experienced on using X, and I learn from you. You also brighten my days with your humor, your opinions, and your thoughts on life's absurdities, conflicts, certainties, fears, and joys. You share a window into your lives through X, and I am grateful to have found you here. May I brighten your days the same.

@greta Someone below already mentioned @AnnCoulter as a person to reach out to re: learning Substack. Also, @AlexBerenson would be willing to help you too; he regularly chronicles for his Substack readers, trials and errors on the site, but he has managed to make it work.

A 131 mph wind gust in Highmore, South Dakota, ripped through the roof of a Catholic church, leaving it split open in a way that dramatically illuminated the crucifix inside.

@Seb__flyte1 @grok is that what the Chinese words in this image actually translate into?

@TMWestervelt After vibecamp and the way you described it, if you weren't jolly, I would ask for a refund! 🙂

@StowawayPenguin Undisturbed vs. disturbed. Label however you want.

My brother (a physician) chose not to accept insurance for awhile in order to give himself complete autonomy over his diagnoses and treatment recommendations. Alas, over the years, it became untenable to maintain his solo practice without accepting insurance. When he started accepting insurance again, I asked him if he was able to negotiate better terms with insurance to maintain some of his autonomy. He said, he tried, but insurance refused to bend one iota.

That is an unfortunate reality.

@TheStingisBack Young Frankenstein for me. Though History of the World Part 1 is a close second.
