I just find it funny that he keeps winning primaries and then getting beat

Attaboy Cartwright.

Although Luzerne said they’ll certify on Wednesday so the long is moot.

Jim Bognet has run three times now and lost every time. At a certain point he’s gotta figure out we don’t like him, right?

Everyone supports single payer except for Brian, 33, the designated single payer.

“I’m just saying maybe we should consider some other options!” - Brian

It would be more unusual if 5 separate shootings across the city injured the same men.

Thanks! Going out Monday morning, I like taking that extra day off.

I’m so far left I make Che look like Barry Goldwater, but I’m also a hunter and a gun owner. So, I’m your huckleberry.

The saddest story of all is passing up that buck and then seeing him splashed across the road a month from now.

That’s very special! Cherish those memories with your old man.

All of those sound awesome. Alumni game would be a lot of fun- two hand touch of course. Although it’s funny to imagine some geezer from the class of ‘38 is gonna get tackled by a try hard from the class of ‘06

Next year I hope they do something extraordinary for the centennial!

You know how I avoid worrying about my right to hate speech? By not being a hateful bigot.

Yeah I was confused for a second. “Have I just imagined that’s what I call them?”

I find all PA’s local shibboleths endlessly fascinating, n’at.

And you can bet Abortion will be on the ballot too. It’s a damn shame that we have to beat back the GOP’s attack on rights every freaking year.

Like I said, I can’t resist a good pun

That’s when I first learned about them. “Haha what a scary sci fi creature… oh wait they’re REAL?”

>Paul’s Greek was better than my French

Sacre bleu!

They already did that in 2020. While I am sad to see it happen (RIP Burlington Lake Monsters), there’s not much more fat to cut.

Having four levels of minors (AAA, AA, High A, Low A) is probably more sustainable than the six or so adhoc levels. Plus, with the affiliate Major clubs there’s a financial backing that the indy ball clubs can’t match.

The current CBA sets 130 “domestic reserve” spots, those guys have to play somewhere since only 40 can be on the active mlb roster.

Especially Dune, with the OC Bible and the Missionaria Protectiva

I can’t resist a good pun, but in this case I meant the older meaning of mundane, worldly rather than spiritual.

Which is a great Segway into a common phrase, “sic transit Gloria mundi” - thus passes the glory of the world. A line from the papal coronation ceremonies that’s been referenced by everyone from Emily Dickinson to Mel Brooks to the band Brand New.

Bible gateway is a good one. The link I’ve attached is my favorite verse, Mark 8:36, with every English translation.

My personal Bible is an English Standard Version (ESV), which I find has a nice middle ground between the flowery King James Version (KJV) and the too plain New International Version (NIV).

If you are looking for a historical perspective, I would recommend the KJV as this was the most common English language version of the Bible and the one most of the authors you cite would have been familiar with. If you’re not clear on the language then use a site like Bible Gateway to find a version you can parse (pun intended).

If you’re looking for a more scholarly look at the Bible, I suggest an aptly named “study” Bible. These are annotated copies of the Bible that provide deeper context from both a theological and an historical perspective when possible.

You should also consider your local library, which could help you identify books analyzing the Bible. If you are a university student that goes double, as literary analysis of the Bible are certainly available there.

To paraphrase Stephen Fry about the Quran, “one doesn’t have to be a Muslim to appreciate the poetry.” The Bible can be considered from a mundane lens as with a spiritual lens.

Man Coryceps are freaking TERRIFYING

It’s been a dream of mine to do a complete road trip and see all of PA’s minor league baseball teams.

“These sick sons of bitches were rubbing ballots with aloe Vera, never seen anything like it!”

Great picture, looks like an album cover.

To wax poetic, this is our future: rails and reactors. We need nuclear and green energy, and we need fast, efficient, and clean rail transport across PA.
