Just a quick note that Luke makes a point to say that Jesus was taken from their sight and that he did not just necessarily keep floating up into space. “When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.” – Acts 1:9
It's low-key hilarious to me that pretty devout Christian believers don't understand that when their own doctrine says that Jesus "ascended into heaven" with people watching it happen, that it's pretty central to the whole thing that heaven was in the sky.

wait i thought we all agreed to stop the whole "i saw a bad thing and made it a monolith" move
Hot take but I think as a genre the “highly erotic personal essay by a straight woman about desire as an exercise in abjection and self-abandonment” has kind of been exhausted.

When I was a production assistant, I had to walk William Shatner from a parking lot to the studio where the set was located, and we had to ride an elevator between the two locations. It was just Mr. Shatner and I by ourselves, not saying anything to each other, and the elevator was quiet. He was focused on the work at hand, and I thought it was just cool being in his presence. During the ride, I finally got the courage to say something to him, so I thought what the heck, and said, "You were great in Kingdom of Spiders." Shatner didn't respond at all. I thought oh boy, I've really annoyed him. The elevator doors finally opened where the producer was waiting for him. I politely waited for Shatner to step out first, but he didn't. Instead he turned to me, and without even smiling said, "I showed those little bastards who was boss didn't I." and walked out.

I like those nick fuentes clips because he's like a reverse streamer, like streamers talk and talk for so many hours they're bound to say something clippably offensive at some point. Fuentes talks for so many hours he sometimes accidentally says relatable, non offensive things that get clipped out of context

I was going to say this is my relationship with God, but I can’t drive, so this is actually my relationship with everybody.
My 3yo cannot understand why, after promising to buy her oranges, I am not doing it asap. "but you can drive in your car!!!" It must be frustrating to be a tiny child with this all powerful being in charge who can go wherever they want whenever they want, and just chooses not to

Let’s introduce this to the lexicon stat. We wouldn’t even have to explain it.
Reminds me of when I was a kid listening to Weird Al, I had only ever heard him called Weird Al and every song title had “Yankovic” between his name and the title so I thought Yankovic was just the term for a parody song. Like “this guy sure writes a lot of Yankovics”

Who qualifies as "part of the human family"? Who qualifies as a member of the human species? Is there a difference?

Did not expect @60Minutes to reenact the “May I kill it?” sequence from CS Lewis’s The Great Divorce. And just as in the book, this is how self-sabotagingly stubborn we all look (me included) when it’s a sin we’ve long indulged.
