You can adjust the transparency, thank goodness! I myself prefer "Tinted".

How to change:

→ "Tinted" = Settings > Display & Brightness > Liquid Glass

→ "Reduce Transparency" = Accessibility > Display & Text Size

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

And even if you're right, the punishment for drug smuggling isn't death.
Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

I don’t know why I’m surprised.

I don’t understand why so many Democrats seem convinced that they can win over Republican voters. Those voters like Republicans and vote for them because they like their wretched policies. They do not want the diet version

When I was temporarily flush during the pandemic lockdowns (millions of us were!), I was finding new ways to give money away.

I paid off debts, helped out family and friends, and created a giving category at the top of my budget.

I don't get the logic of hoarding resources once your cup is full.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

I went to New Orleans to see what it looks like when a great American city comes under siege from the government, as masked goons of 'Catahoula Crunch' lie about nabbing bad guys before swarming Home Depot, roofing jobs for folks with brown skin

THESIS:

everything theologically important about the doctrine of the virgin birth of Christ would be retained if it had been the case that Mary and Joseph wed, had three kids, then Joseph went on a year-long business trip (roll with it) and while he was away Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit

Correct. The words we use matter.
It’s actually better to call the strikes crimes against humanity, rather than war crimes for that very reason. Using war crimes gives the regime what it wants, the popular perception that we are at war. We are not at war.

Sooo I'm in training to become a spiritual director, and apparently it's best to learn with real directees. 🤭 I could use more volunteers so I'm making a public invitation for the first time. 🙏 Could you use some (free!) (not-yet-professional!) (Jesus-centered!) companionship? 1/
