Looks like it's gonna be another day of the people who still refuse to just read "The Art of the Deal" hyperventilating over a Trump post

Donald Trump has been a national politician for a decade. Anyone still reacting to the guy’s negotiating tactics and hyperbole with this sort of hysteria ten years in should be disqualified from political commentary. If he nukes Tehran at 8pm, I’ll admit I’m the crazy one. When he doesn’t, this crew will admit nothing and find some other comment to be scandalized by.

The time has come for the military to refuse to cooperate with orders like this. Catholics will have to take the lead. The Christian Zionists are incapable of rational behavior.

#ゴジラ ゴジラはどこへ向かうのか？ チーフ・ゴジラ・オフィサー(CGO)大田圭二氏インタビュー記事 でとても重大だと思う所があったので共有 ちょっと長いです 「日本版のゴジラ作品で言えば、『ゴジラ FINAL WARS』から『シン・ゴジラ』までには約12年の間隔があり、さらに次の『ゴジラ-1.0』までも7年を要しました。こうした状況では、観客がゴジラに触れる機会が“数年に一度”になってしまいます。 だからこそ私たちは、ゴジラの世界観や価値がぶれないよう全体を統括しながら、今後も個性ある監督による劇場映画を継続していきますし、同時に、ゴジラ部が企画・推進する作品も積極的に展開していく方針です。 「これからはゴジラ映画も世界でほぼ同時に公開されることになると思います。『ゴジラ-1.0』は北米であれだけのヒットを記録しましたし、新作への期待も極めて高いと思います。『ゴジラ-0.0』は北米では日本とほぼ変わらないタイミングで公開になります。ですから、これまでは日本の方にどう知ってもらい、好きになってもらうかを考えてきましたが、これからは世界中の人たちにゴジラのことを好きになってもらいたい。そのために何ができるのか？という発想で、日本で培ってきた取り組みを世界各国にローカライズし、広げていきたいと思っています。

I just saw the much talked about film “Project Hail Mary.” It's very entertaining and uplifting and features a fine performance from Ryan Gosling. But what most intrigued me were the powerful Christian themes at play in it. The title, of course, refers to the Hail Mary pass in football, since the adventure undertaken is a fairly desperate attempt to save the planet. But it also becomes eminently clear that the reference is not just to football but to the Blessed Mother herself, for the Gosling character is undoubtedly a Christ-figure. I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but it involves a willingness to sacrifice one's life utterly in order to deliver the entire human race from disaster. It is, of course, no accident that Gosling's character is called Ryland Grace, for throughout the movie, his presence and actions constitute undeserved favor to others. A particularly intriguing character in the film is a sober German scientist who relentlessly presses Grace to make the supreme sacrifice, even when he is unwilling. She represented for me the great moral demand that presses upon us throughout our lives, continually summoning us to self-gift. A last observation: Jesus had a second in command whom he called Peter (the Rock); Ryland Grace has a very unusual sidekick whom he calls “Rocky.” I'll leave it at that. I know lots of people say that Christianity is in irreversible decline and that we are inhabiting, at least in the West, a post-Christian society. I'm not so sure. Like it or not, we remain a Christ-haunted culture—and a film like “Project Hail Mary” makes this clear.

Who would be most welcome at a conservative christian church?
