It still gets me the Bible Jesus is a homeless socialist with brown skin, hangs out with 12 dudes and a Prostitute, tells rich people to pay their taxes and give their wealth to the poor, tells the religious leaders that they need to love everyone equally, gets a whip and goes hog on people using religion to sell stuff, and then straight up gets murdered for these beliefs. Yet somehow churches act like he's some kind of Conservative Haircut in khakis and a button up, who would support cutting welfare programs, and would preach Prosperity Gospel.

@Alice When I did my DNA, I was finally able to get past the family research brick wall.

All the best family legends about him weren't true at all. But I now know the ship his parents and grandparents arrived on in 1735, and the small town in Germany they came from.

I've cut down on my social media the last couple of days because we're traveling.

Every time I check in, I wish we could just keep traveling. Let me know if any good news breaks.

You've got three days to prepare for the Ides of March. Either sharpen your daggers or invest in some armor, whichever is appropriate for your situation.

@RickiTarr Look, if Amy Lee needs to dramatically walk down a stupidly long table for dramatic effect at the end of this music video, then I am strongly in favor of stupidly long tables.

Are you all tired of being angry all the time? I know I am.

I read three news articles today, and I'm ready to Be Gay, and Do Crimes. I'm a pacifist, but damn, these people are testing me. I'm going to give them a Southern Church Lady Blessing:

Well, bless your heart, I hope you get exactly what you deserve.

@RickiTarr

I think I burned through anger in about 2018. Now I'm just exhausted and bitter and vainly hoping for justice.

And while I am also a peaceful man, vengeance is looking better every day.

I sincerely hope they all have beautiful funerals. Soon.

I really should have spent more time building a brand, because I can spit out painfully obvious commentary with the best of them.

But no, I decided to have a life instead.

@RickiTarr So many of us men are wired to be "useful", to be able to fix what's broken.

In a world where we can't fix anything, bringing a piece of old technology back to life IS a sort of therapy.

Does anyone else have trouble doing one thing at a time? Like if I'm doing chores it helps to have a podcast or talk to someone, or watching TV, I need to do something with my hands, like a little handy craft, or a simple game. I love movies, but the movie has to be absolutely fascinating for me to want to go to a theater where I just need to sit there and watch. I have a large amount of tabs open on my phone all the time and I flit back and forth through a bunch of different things. Weed helps calm this down a bit.

@RickiTarr If it's work stuff, I can lock in on that alone, and prefer no distractions.

But leisure stuff? I am trying to retrain myself to just read a book or watch a show without looking at social media every five minutes.

Stupid Internet, wrecking my attention span.

@GottaLaff My daughter has to go to Jacksonville for her first ever work conference in April. I'm going to suggest she get an MMR booster.

Which is a freaking outrageous thing to have to tell a 25-year-old in 2024.

My newest Decay Theory article for Atlas Obscura is now live - in this one we look at why churches are the most ubiquitous abandoned sites in the American countryside, next to homes. Whatever your feelings on religion are, the answers may surprise you. Check it out and let me know what you think! https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/abandoned-churches

Great article. Just by their nature, large communal structures are difficult to repurpose. There's a beautiful old Masonic Temple in my town that's had one tenant (a 6-7 year church startup effort) in 20 years. I suspect the owner wishes he hadn't gotten involved.

jimbush,
@jimbush@beige.party avatar

@Chancerubbage @AbandonedAmerica

True. Unfortunately, the local one doesn't have a niche to fill. The music venue and event space market is already saturated, and the owner can't be bothered to directly manage it himself anyway.. So it sits.

@the_etrain Mine was pizza-flavored. Savory, but with a delightful crunch.
