"Would you like some tulip bulbs? The price is a bargain at only one haus!" - some 17th century Dutch merchant probably.

yeah the problem is the history of “we shipped a product and it’s now basically the biggest thing in the world” - which did then happen with ChatGPT - has historically led to similarly massive profits and nobody is prepared for what happens if it doesn’t

i feel like openai showing up with a sketchy non-standard, overly convaluted corporate structure, while claiming they were already worth billions before shipping a single product should have been a red flag.

A bunch of America lovers here. No Kings Rally carries this King's dream forward together!

OG No Kings Rally. Not an American hater in sight, just like this coming weekend.

Season 5 of @midnightburger.bsky.social goes out into the big, wild world today. I hope everyone enjoys it. Funny to look back and remember that this massive two-season storyline was inspired by Czech Literary History.

Princess Libuse: the wisest woman in Czech literary history

Today we look at one of the legendary figures in Czech history - sometimes described as the Mother of the Czech Nation - the medieval princess Libuse or Libussa, who has…

I still recommend Logos if you want to cut down search time online or convenience. ❤️

It is illegal. The law used to incriminate this behavior is called the Hatch Act. Unfortunately, the person responsible for bringing charges is the Attorney General, now Pam Bondi.

Can we talk about the Ag. situation? Midwest farmers overwhelmingly voted for this situation. We are just are going to hand them money?!?
Let's think creatively, like what Obama did with car companies but with land and agriculture. That was a successful program where every company paid back.

Except when Trump bankrupts them with tariffs. Then she will say nothing except for asking the rest of the country for welfare to bail them out.

mad would-be gods or an age of humble love. A question that is harder in practice than it seems in my own moments of madness. Judgment is passed, I can be found in the right, thank God.

Who also ascribed astrological events to geopolitical upheaval, and no one batted an eye. For a better explanation, I recommend N.T. Wright Resurrection and the Son of God or Day the Revolution Began.
For a better reflection, I would suggest asking myself if I want to live in an age of Teslas and

Somewhat controversial take: I would agree that what Jesus is referring to is not the ending of space-time, rather the cosmic ending of the age. And they did see it in Jesus' death and resurrection.
The cosmological signs within the prediction are poetic references to the prophets,

Typepad went dark. I went to look up news about the next Revolutions Podcast. Someone doesn't want @mikeduncan.bsky.social to tell you tomorrow's news today.

I am not going to pitch that Logos isn't useful. It is. But everything they have that you pay for and pay subscriptions for can also be found for free online.
For Pastor Appreciation Month, take your Pastor out for coffee. She or he might like that or some time with you with no agenda.

Psst! It's is Pastor Appreciation Month!

Looking for a meaningful way to show appreciation to your pastor? We've got you covered. We asked over 1,500 pastors what gifts and gestures have meant the most to them.

Sec. Def. is appointed, not voted. But if it were, we should consider Wizard Frog. He took on a larger armed force successfully than the current one.
Someone needs to get Wizard Frog in one of the chronicles.

Happy banned book week. Read a Bible extra to show support for one of histories most banned books. Then go help a person in need to demonstrate to the powers that be why it is such a dangerous book to live out.

My Mom always says that a glass of grape juice a day helps keep health up. I don't know the full efficacy, but grape juice is delicious at least.

Congratulations!

However, if you keep publishing about works in antiquity and medieval Egypt in ancient Greek and Egyptian are you worried about being considered a Helle-Copter scholar?
