The rise of Christian Nationalism is a serious cause for concern — In 1932, the German Christians were established shortly before Hitler took power in Germany. Once the Führer succeeded in taking over the German Government, The German Christians strongly supported the new Nazi government, embracing nationalism, racism, and anti-Semitism. In response, The Confessing Church was founded to oppose The German Christians…

Does casual sex really make us miserable? Some science suggests so, but there’s much more to the story than meets the eye. — Casual sex can be really depressing.

Following the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe…

Social media is the monolithic dumpster fire of human thought and interaction — I’m nauseatingly tired of seeing this massive conglomeration of humanity’s thoughts all bloody and piled up on a platter.

We’ve built supercomputers…

Going over DeSantis’ record to set it straight — DeSantis’ tenure as Florida’s governor has been a terrifying ride. Over the years, he’s done some horrible things to Florida.

The skinny on obesity — I hated the way I looked in the mirror. The early 2020 pandemic shut society down. The lack of excitement started to plague me. It’s bizarre. I have such a great life: a nice place to live, a great girlfriend, the coolest dog and cat duo ever, and I live…
