My father went to war with a demon bird.
You MUST read this marvelous essay by @ryan_zickgraf about the charismatic faith that he lost, and what it can teach us about re-enchanting the world today.

- This is a Big Tech information coup. This is digital civil war. I, an editor at The New York Post, one of the nation’s largest papers by circulation, can’t post one of our own stories that details corruption by a major-party presidential candidate, Biden.
- The regime has given up on hijab enforcement across swaths of the cities. Stunning to see.Iranshahr, Tehran
- Do NOT miss part two of our reporting on the Hunter files.
- Never seen such widespread Catholic anger. Global. A watershed.
- Early 2020: *changes avatar to a masked selfie.* Mid 2020: *changes avatar to BLM raised fist* 2021: *changes avatar to boast of being vaxxed* Early 2022: *changes avatar to STAND WITH UKRAINE* *All along, considers himself a highly independent thinker*
- What I tweeted on that fateful day. Totally and completely vindicated.This is a Big Tech information coup. This is digital civil war. I, an editor at The New York Post, one of the nation’s largest papers by circulation, can’t post one of our own stories that details corruption by a major-party presidential candidate, Biden.
- I've worked in mainstream media for a decade. I used to see NYT/WaPo/network stories and generally assume they were basically true, even if the outlets made mistakes from time to time (we're all human). Now I think, "What kind of bullshit are these ideologues pulling on me now?"
- I never want to hear about Politifact. Ever. Never. Ever. I’m going to use these two screencaps if anyone ever cites that source.
- For five years, the credentialed morons warned that Trump was a foreign catastrophe waiting to happen. None of the prophecies came to pass. Seven months in, Biden, his veep and press secretary are AWOL, while WH photos dox CIA stations and Afghans drop from fleeing US craft.
- Someone needs to write a piece explaining why Israeli comedy is so lame compared to American Jewish comedy.Israeli Ch. 12’s Eretz Nehederet satirical comedy show — known as Israel's SNL — airs skit mocking Zohran Mamdani’s outreach to the Jewish community.
00:00 - It's OK. The Post has weathered the vicissitudes of more than two centuries of American history. We will endure this, too. But those of our colleagues elsewhere keeping silent now best hope *they* never run afoul of the Narrative.It’s an outrage that @nypost is still locked. And it’s a disgrace that more journalists are not outraged by this.
