It's called theonomy; a whole system of reading the Old & New Testaments as one continuing revelation as well as a mechanism for bringing it to bear on every aspect of life & culture. You may not like it but it's dangerous to dismiss it as incoherent

Speaker Mike Johnson tonight: “Someone asked me today in the media, ‘People are curious, what does Mike Johnson think about any issue?’ I said, ‘Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it. That’s my worldview.”

It’s time. This is the moment we’ve been waiting for. This is the case that could change the entire ballgame for Trump. Cameras allowed. Televised trials. No pardon for Trump. And a DA who doesn’t care who he is & who will simply view him like any other criminal defendant. 👀

Hi, @lizzieohreally. I enjoy #WhatsNextTBD a lot!
A thought about most recent episode about marked rise in pedestrian deaths:
16 Jul 2023
Great discussion on an important topic!
That said, the author seems to minimize the cultural impact and explosive growth in use of smart phones over the last 10 years. We have distracted drivers AND pedestrians, eyes glued to iPhones. A huge factor, IMO.

On today’s What Next TBD: Pedestrian deaths in America hit a 40-year high last year, while they continue to drop in Europe and Japan. What are we doing differently? slate.trib.al/R69ApST

Tim Scott campaign cash on hand, post 2ndQ: $21.1M
Ron DeSantis campaign cash on hand post 2ndQ: $12.2M
15 Jul 2023
DeSantis tapped out top donors and burned through $7.9 million in first six weeks, per NBC analysis.
The numbers suggest, for first time, that solvency could be a threat to DeSantis’ campaign.

as expected, the court has inverted the 14th. an amendment written explicitly to directly ameliorate the conditions of race hierarchy becomes in conservative hands an amendment that says it’s illegal to try to directly ameliorate the conditions of race hierarchy

The Supreme Court has ruled on affirmative action. Per Amy Howe of @SCOTUSblog, "The court holds that Harvard and UNC's admissions programs violate the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment."

Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action
Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed
The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE

One can’t fault @ruthbenghiat for gloating just a little about this [possibly] prescient piece of writing from February 2022:

There are no good sides. The Kremlin is evil. Wagner is evil. The mafiosos, oligarchs, and sadists in their overlapping networks are evil. The only people to root for are the innocents they have terrorized. And the people trying to keep the worst weapons from the loosest hands.

Isn’t it kinda everyone’s dream to be interviewed about their worst ex for a national audience the way Lillian McEwen was for this ep of Slow Burn? Just getting to drop in stuff on how he was raggedy and a weird dancer and they knew him at the adult video store? I'm happy for her
To understand who Clarence Thomas was in the '80s, you need to hear from the women who knew him best. On the latest Slow Burn, @byjoelanderson speaks with Thomas' ex-girlfriend, Lillian McEwen, who shares insights into who Thomas was, and who he became: link.chtbl.com/ndpncijN
