BREAKING: Nobody in Mr. Trump’s inner circle was more worried about the conflict with Iran, or did more to try to stop it, than the vice president, per NYT.

These aren’t indie comics by indie creators. It’s YouTube merch by cynics who looked at indie comics money and thought they could fake it.

Mark Levin vs. Tucker Carlson: “When half the conservative movement turned their backs on me, the two men of highest stature in the movement who stood up for me and opened their doors, were Mark Levin and Tucker Carlson. Now I’m being told I have to choose between them, which means I’m either a war mongering shill for Israel, or a Jew hating anti-Semite. The truth still needs to matter more than slandering people’s character to win political arguments.”

being in china makes it clear that so much of UI/UX has been extremely contingent. the typical design patterns are really just fashion choices chinese design is very different: - way more features (wechat has chat, pay, train tickets, stories, stocks, rent bikes, healthcare, etc. / the food app will let you translate the menu, which uber eats *still* won’t let you do) - less polish (data loads aren’t as optimized, very few animations, pixels are more plain) - didi does payment *after* the ride, and gives you more flexibility than uber - tables at restaurants have a QR code that opens up chinese uber eats & selects that specific table as the delivery address. from there you can just order to your table instead of talking to a person - payments is done via apps with QR codes, not virtual credit cards with NFT chips. makes it feel strange that Apple Pay just… ported over credit cards to smartphones?? so arbitrary!

🇮🇷 Iranian woman: "The world was underestimating Iran, it thought that we would not be able to achieve anything under sanctions; but they were mistaken."

Lost about 300 followers since announcing my conversion to Catholicism. Doubtful it’s coincidental, but it is quite fascinating. I have a feeling those 300 people are unhappy with their life.

The Nerdrotic and YellowFlash types haven't caught onto the fact Warner Bros and Disney lean into outrage marketing. It works so well, make retard youtubers seethe because the actress said some milquetoast 2010s feminist buzz phrase and *bam* free marketing from the chuds.

Happy Easter, California! 🐣 Jen and I wish everyone celebrating across California a restful day of hope, reflection, and new beginnings.

☦️ Why aren’t Protestants taught about Christ’s conquest of Hades? Because the Reformation cut them off from Holy Tradition. In the Orthodox Church we don’t just say “He rose.” We proclaim: **Christ is Risen, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life!** He didn’t merely die and pop back up. The Lord of Glory descended into Hades — the place of the dead — shattered its bronze gates, crushed the serpent’s head, and led Adam, Eve, and every captive soul out in glorious triumph. This is the Resurrection we celebrate. This is why icons show Christ standing on the broken gates, grabbing Adam and Eve by the wrists, pulling them from the darkness. The Apostles’ Creed still says “He descended into hell,” but without the Church Fathers, the liturgy, and the living apostolic faith, that line gets ignored or explained away. Sola scriptura left them the verses but robbed them of the fullness. So many Protestants get a beautiful but incomplete gospel: “Jesus died for your sins and rose again.” We get the whole story: **Death is dead. Hades is conquered. The prisoners are free.** Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen! Come and see what the ancient Church has always known.
