Thinking of starting a Usenet newsgroup for the No Agenda crowd. Yes, Usenet, in 2026. No algorithm, no owner, nobody can take it down. I read it every day from a text terminal and it's wonderful. Question: which would you actually join? alt.fan.no-agenda alt.fan.john-c-dvorak I'll write a ten-minute setup guide so anyone can get on. Boost if you're curious. #NoAgenda #Usenet #Dvorak

Lupita Nyong'o is easily more than beautiful enough to be Helen of Troy.

Performative religion isn’t unique to strongmen. It shows up anywhere power and legitimacy intersect. Popes, archbishops, presidents, revolutionaries, party machines, campaign operatives, all of them are tempted to wrap themselves in moral language to stabilize power. Politicians do it constantly with churches, clergy, prayer breakfasts, gospel cadences, and selective scripture. The issue isn’t who does it. The issue is whether people can still tell the difference between faith and theater.
