  • As far as newish stuff goes, I’ve been watching Silo, which is pretty entertaining. Better than I expected from AppleTV.

    Also just watched S2 of Raised By Wolves. S2 got off to a really rocky start. Honestly I flat-out hated ep1; feels like they needed a mulligan. But it got me hooked a few episodes in.

    Strange New Worlds has pretty entertaining though the pace of the courtroom episode seemed a little off (almost like they thought I was too dumb to get it so they had to eliminate any subtlety), and I watched some TNG in the gap between Picard and SNW.

    Only made it a couple episodes into Hello Tomorrow before I couldn’t stand it anymore.

    I remember liking Severance but I think it’s been quite a while. I think there might be a new season soon?












  • I’m no longer a baptist (or even a Christian), but I grew up in a baptist church and heard all about Saddleback Church and Rick Warren and read his books. 15-20 years ago, he was quite popular and well-liked in baptist and many non-baptist Christian communities, at least in my area in central California.

    But 1 Corinthians 3:14 is pretty unambiguous. I don’t agree with it because I think the whole bible is a bunch of nonsense, but this is basically the expected outcome of taking the bible literally. Also the extreme politicization of SBC has been there since the beginning, so this kind of thing isn’t really a surprise.
