@elonmusk Tells us something about Gemini, doesn't it?

@NickJFreitas Well, maybe you can say you're dead now, but not after you were born we were all killed off during the Reagan administration.

@The_FJC What's the Democratic DA in Arlington's home address? Just curious.

@AetherCzar p.s. the Hellenized Jewish Sadducees denied the Resurrection and this made them sad, you see.

[stevepoling @stevepoling]

@AetherCzar 3/3 The Jewish & Christian position was that matter is created good, but corrupted by the fall. This corruption is removed in the Resurrection. Athens had a simplistic explanation that evil came from matter, qua matter.

[stevepoling @stevepoling]

@AetherCzar 2/3 When the Apostle speaks of the resurrection the Athenians regarded spirit as good and matter the source of all evil. Why would deceased spirits want to be burdened with a body again?

[stevepoling @stevepoling]

@AetherCzar 1/3 Christianity embraced the notion of Logos, but rejected Athen's insistence that matter is evil. This gave neoplatonist Christians heartburn. It explains the insistence upon incarnation by the Greek churches.

@CuriosityonX If aliens came they'd search in vain for intelligent life. They probably have cat videos already.

@Sofia50020Sofia As long as you don't mind if I blast the Apostles Creed from every church at full volume 5 times a day, right?

@CynicalPublius Donald Trump is so powerful that he time travelled to London 1689 and got the Baptists to add Chapter 26 to their Confession.

@seamus_coughlin It's a pity Mr. Musk couldn't make a hyperloop link between L.A. and S.F., but Engineering cannot trump Politics.

@EdmundBurke_ESQ @omriceren I may not understand your complaint, but it would seem that "navigating Israel out of the incoherence of the Oslo accords" is the only rational response to 10/7

@AntiLeftMemes I stopped listening to Mr. Stern when he was the morning drive shock jock in Washington, DC. He said anyone like me should stop listening. I took his advice. Haven't regretted that decision for 40 years.

@TrumpsHurricane This already happened. If it were Mexico going to war with us, it was Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and California. To the victor go the spoils.

@honeymoon250 You see when a cargo plane and a helicopter love each other very much and the mood is right...

@ronsterd89 It's for jacquard weaving machines. And some other stuff they used when they got bored with slide rules.

@Sofia50020Sofia My mom was the best shot in the house growing up. My daughter was the best shot in my house when she was growing up. Yeah, I'm really uncomfortable. Sure. Stupid question.

@TrumpsHurricane Here's a ham sandwich.
