This is long, and maybe too long for most people. It took me three days to watch it all. But it is even handed, it is informative, it is well documented, and it is truly how I and so many feel. I loved TYT, but about the time Cenk decided to run for office and gave a lot of control over the company / show to Anna, I noticed a shift / change in both hosts and the company direction. Cenk became very bitter and anti-democratic party, while Anna became overly more assertive on every show. When Cenk came back so bitter from being what he felt was unfairly treated by the democrats but others felt was him trying to claim a position without doing the work others had done before him Anna started talking over him, interrupting him, not letting him finish his sentences. But at the same time if he tried to interrupt her she got very vocal about it and wouldn’t tolerate it. She was now in charge and she wanted the world to know it. It showed how she felt about her position, she had the authority and say, so don’t disagree with her. That was very off-putting for me a long time viewer and supporter of the show. But then Cenk’s constant vitriol against the Democratic Party started to interfere with his reporting on Biden. Right from the start he wanted Biden to do the impossible and when he did not Cenk couldn’t even give him credit for what he did get accomplish. Cenk being a bombastic fighter spent two years demanding Joe Biden attack and call out Joe Manchin and pushed for the most virulent attacks on him. Which would have lost the democrats the control of the Senate and stopped any left leaning judge appointments. Then Cenk got more bitter towards Biden and other progressive members of congress who did not throw the disruptive bombs he wanted to destroy the party, so he openly attacked the very groups he started along with attacking all progressives. What crossed the line for me what his attacks on Biden and openly trying to promote primary challengers to him talking up fringe candidates, knowing historically any time a sitting president was primaried they lost, giving the other party the win. He did not care, his bitter anger was more important to him. He kept up his now constant attempts to tear down Biden to the point he is doing the work of a republican challenger for president. I wrote that when I canceled my long time membership, that Cenk was doing the work of the Republican Party in tearing down and maligning Biden. This hard right turn of Anna’s and Cenk’s weirdly not even willing to listen to any criticism of her was the last straw for me. He is not even really addressing the issue that Anna made as the start of this problem, and keeps misrepresenting it. If Anna wants to be called woman that is great, if trans women demand to be called women that is great and everyone would do as they ask. But there are transmen with parts that medical people need to address and that are on medical forms / question forms. It was pointed out so often that no one in conversation referred to Anna as a “birthing person” but she still took offense to the term even existing. She was demanding a medical term to be inclusive not exist because she felt it diminished her as a female. Total right wing maga fundamentalist thinking. This is entirely a case of two people drinking their own Kool-Aid on their own importance and getting called out for it. Their egos have gotten in the way of the work they were doing. I can no longer support them as they are, and I hope people will watch this well researched and documented video. Hugs

The Linguistic Gymnastics of Young EARTH Creationism
Join us as we dissect the claims that the Bible itself supposedly contains evidence of Earth’s mere 6000-year existence. With a dash of wit and a sprinkle of satire, we expose the creative contortions these claims require. 🎭🤯
From deciphering Bible verses with the finesse of a Shakespearean rapper to exploring the hilarious linguistic gymnastics of Young Earth Creationists, we dissect the arguments that keep us chuckling. 💃🎤
But hey, why stop at the age of the Earth? We’ll also tackle burning questions like: Did Moses really part the Red Sea? Why didn’t God just snap his fingers for creation? And who’s Father Abraham, the smurf guy or the biblical patriarch? 🤔😂
Get ready for laughter, thought-provoking analysis, and a pinch of scepticism as we navigate the world of scripture interpretation, contrasting it with the tried-and-true methods of science. 📚🔬
So hit that play button, grab some popcorn, and prepare to laugh your way through the twists and turns of biblical literalism and the scientific pursuit of truth.

A few thoughts before I do the weekly Sunday cleanings on the computers. This morning I scrambled to get through two windows of a combined total of 78 tabs, so I wouldn’t lose them due to cleaning. Hugs

During the Fall of 2020, my college course on the “Theologies of Gender and Identity” was forced to go virtual. This video is one of the pre-recorded lectures from that course that I would like to share with a larger audience. Feel free to respectfully comment and question and I will respond in kind.
This lecture explores the traditional “texts of terror” or “clobber passages” that have been used to justify the marginalization of the LGBTQ people — namely Genesis 19 (Sodom); Romans 1:26-27; Leviticus 18:22; 20:13; 1 Timothy 1:9-11 // 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; and Genesis 1-2 (Adam and Eve). For each passage, we’ll apply exegetical tools to determine whether or not this marginalization is justified.
The format of this lecture features a compilation of previous videos from this channel’s Queer Theology series. Most of these videos have been updated and include an additional commentary in between each topic.

Antarctic sea ice: lowest in 7.5 million years??
My thanks to Ten Bears for posting this. I think this is a very important subject that is not getting enough attention. More people want to talk about their next meal more than the fact the health of the Antarctic sea ice is seriously going to effect not only us selfish humans but every living thing starting with the ocean life. When I watch this I want to run screaming out into my neighborhood, grab people and scream do you understand not only will our homes be underwater but we won’t have anything to eat !!!! But then Ron gives me a cool drink and reminds me there are laws against that grabbing of neighbors enforced on the not republicans all the time.
I am taking this from Ten Bears’ blog / website (I never do know what is the proper term now) without his permissions.

I did not ask yet
And from what I have read on his site, he doesn’t respond well to anyone just thinking they can grab anything of his and run away, and I am not just talking on the webs. I do hope he might just give me a little grace on this one.
For those hearing impaired, do not worry. The main speaker talks fast. I used to talk that fast, but over thirty years in Florida I don’t even type fast anymore. The Closed Caption is very good, they either do it themselves or pay for it. Again well worth the 8+ minutes to understand the threat to our habitat and lives. Hugs
Antarctic sea ice is behaving very, very weirdly right now. In the same year we saw a record minimum extent, we’re now seeing a record slow freeze-up, leaving a widening gap between observations and what we expect for the time of year.
A lot of people have tried to put a number on exactly how rare the event we’re witnessing is, and come up with some insane numbers. So what’s going on? Is this really the kind of event we should only see once in 7.5 million years??
Big thanks to Zack Labe for talking to me for this video, you can check out his fantastic visualisations on his website here: http://www.zacklabe.com and follow him on socials @ZLabe.

The American Revolution’s Greatest Leader Was Openly Gay
Thanks to Ali for the link. This is important information that in red states run by republicans it is illegal to teach to kids. In Florida, even 18-year-old seniors in high school and higher education college kids are too sensitive and delicate to learn that not all heroes are cis straight people. After all the important people in history were a cis straight people and it is important to never mention the LGBTQ+ people at all or people might think they were normal and great. Hugs
