It's an Armageddon fetish, straight up. I wish it were complicated, but it's not. They fetishize Judaism as peripheral and integral to the Rapture.

But if you ask them if Jewish folks go to heaven and enjoy the Eternal Kingdom?

"Well... no, but they're nice people."
Honestly, consider just that concept for a second:

They preach that only Christ is the path to eternal life in heaven and that anyone can follow that path through free will but also that a certain number of Jewish folks are bound to rebel in the End Times.

That's fucked up.
The most obvious thing about all this--and it doesn't really get talked about as much as it should in the mainstream--is that white evangelicals are some of the most anti-Semitic assholes on the planet.
Anyway... you all know I'm a Christian. It's what brings me peace and strength. But there are many, many paths to God, and I don't pretend to know them all and mine is no better than yours. It's just what works for me. This performative, hateful bullshit, tho? Not good.

I've lived in D.C. for the better part of two decades. Nearly my whole adult life. Something folks aren't talking about--a giant elephant in the room--is the amount of "brand protection" going on right now.

(thread)
I don't mean fear of Trump or political persecution, although those can overlap.
When I say "brand protection," I mean the things someone in the political arena does to preserve their career longterm. It's not even necessarily "reputation protection," which is a somewhat different vibe.

Since 1958, West Point has honored one U.S. citizen annually with the Sylvanus Thayer Award for embodying the values of "Duty, Honor, Country."

Tom Hanks was set to receive the award later this month. His ceremony was just abruptly canceled by the Academy.

(thread)
Recipients of the Sylvanus Thayer Award are a Who's Who of American icons.

Presidents, Supreme Court justices, Secretaries of State and Defense, astronauts, journalists, etc. have been honored.

It's basically the Academy's version of an honorary doctorate. It's a big deal.
There's always a military parade for the recipient and a ceremony and a formal dinner with the entire Corps of Cadets and Academy staff.

It's one of the biggest days on the West Point calendar.

"Why should I care about U.S. Space Command being transferred to Alabama? I hate the military-industrial complex."

There are a number of reasons you should care, but you really only need one.

(thread)
An ICBM launched from Russia can reach the U.S. in 27 minutes. An ICBM launched from North Korea takes about 30 minutes; some estimates have it as low as 24 min. That doesn't mean we all get a text alert on our phones saying an ICBM is gonna hit in a half hour.
In reality, most of us wouldn't get much of a heads up at all. Because the ICBM needs to be properly identified and confirmed and reconfirmed. Then it has to be imperfectly tracked. Then agencies have to be notified. Then the press. Then the rest of us.

This is being somewhat misreported, and I think it's important to correctly frame it, so that folks don't sound clownish when they're advocating for the retirement benefits of trans service members.

(thread)
The Air Force is denying *early retirement* to trans service members who have served 15-18 years and are being forced out.
As most folks know, Active Duty members of the military are eligible for retirement at 20 years. This is a separate thing from medical retirement, by the way.

Yet again, we're in one of those moments when a college offers an interesting elective course, and clowns online get all huffy about it and whine that college education has become trivial and ask what job a student will get with this course.

So, a quick explainer.

(thread)
The typical undergraduate education, a bachelor's degree, is 120 credit hours over four years. Just about every degree program at every college or university in the country leaves at least 9-12 of those credits open as free slots for other subjects a student wants to explore.
That usually works out to at least 3-4 courses over the entire four years. Some degree programs have more. Some students will opt to use those elective slots toward a double major. Some will use them toward a joint degree program (bachelors and masters) over four or five years.

The criticism over Zelenskyy not wearing a suit is not only foolish but more importantly: completely fails to understand why he doesn't. Of course the man own suits. That's not the point.

Here's why Zelenskky is not wearing a suit...

(quick thread)
His clothes are intentional symbolism. A country and its leader under immediate and existential threats from a tyrannical force have no time for suits and neckties.
Notice, too, that he's not wearing a formal uniform.

He has no visible rank or medals or nametapes. He has no commander’s cap or mirror-shined shoes. He has no epaulets or brass buttons or starched creases. He isn’t even wearing patches.
