I agree with Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and President Joe Biden. Today's #SCOTUS ruling makes the US President a King unbeholden to the law, and this is contrary to the intentions of this country's founders. It invites chaos, lawlessness, and destruction of our systems of laws. It favors the installation of a dictator the moment a person is elected to that office. It's a sad day for America and the world. Democracy dies by steps, and today was a leap. #uspol https://www.youtube.com/live/vtc_n4Tqr8k?si=1yCJ7hOW9Sb9mL15

@npub12nm…wh2s I'm not a major fan of Chumbawumba, but I have always loved everything about this song, and I resonate with their antifacism.

Got my 4th #CoViD19 and 2nd #shingles #immunization yesterday, and I'm super thankful I can do a low-effort work from home day today attending an online training and debugging #container builds.

@npub1eq4…mf0l @npub1qm8…gyw7 @npub18g5…q6tf @npub1ccn…czwu True... some Christian sects do interpret the chapter and verse... thinking of much of the Anglican communion here. Too many, though, are textual literalists with narrow focus, blind spots, and control issues.

@npub126p…4yf9 @npub1qm8…gyw7 @npub18g5…q6tf @npub1ccn…czwu Nonetheless the writer(s) would have their popular following. Maybe not a majority, but large enough to form and retain a movement, command resources, enrich a leadership, and publish their books. Veracity and internal consistency aren't necessary... they just need words you can use to manipulate masses of people. The priests can pull out the relevant passages of the day and interpret them so they seem timely.

@npub1qm8…gyw7 @npub18g5…q6tf @npub1ccn…czwu An article of Christian faith is that divinely inspired writing - by a selected few first and second hand witnesses (and not for example the apocrypha writers) - is the literal word of God. Different sects choose different books. It's a lexical infallibility claim. Since it's an article of faith, it's not something that the faithful are willing to discard or doubt.
