You might like some Brian McLaren or Anne Lamott. Traveling Mercies was an important book to me. Sara Miles' Eat This Bread is in that genre as well.

Benioff: SF defunded the police.
Every article: No they didn’t. The police budget has only gone up.

Everything I read about this sounds like Benioff got brain-poisoned in the Andreesen group chat.

Blew up my weekend to write this “Marc Benioff come-to-your-senses challenge.”

I’ve rarely shared my opinions about politics in the Chronicle beyond some LGBTQ+ & bike/pedestrian safety things but Jesus he wants the military on S.F. streets what the hell?

www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/m...

Marc Benioff wants troops in S.F.? There’s a path back to sanity, and it’s close to home

Marc Benioff called for the National Guard in S.F. The city doesn’t need the military on its streets. It needs the Salesforce founder to follow his grandfather’s example, Peter Hartlaub...

He’s fired. Though he gets a lot of money to go away, so don’t feel too bad for him!

And I’m seeing a lot of bemoaning of them leaving, but no one made them. Sucks to have your own misogyny keep you from relationship with the larger Body of Christ.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

Speaking of San Francisco police and how much is spent, here is a diagram of San Francisco city employees who get more than $400K total compensation.

Notice that all the orange dots are public safety: police or fire.
