I love the section when the pharisees bring Jesus to Pilate, and he asks them "What charges are you bringing against this man?" The pharisees response: "If he were not a criminal we would not have handed him over to you".

They don't have any real cause, they just want to get rid of him, which in my reading, Pilate sees right away.

Dude! This is the most prophetic thing in the whole Bible. Hear me out. Simon son of Jonah (not the whale guy), is a fisherman, and Jesus tells him to come along and fish people instead. Jesus gives him a nickname, Kephas, this nickname was then translated from Aramaic into Greek, Petros. Jesus later says that "On this rock I will build my church", and that's the meaning of the nickname Kephas/Petros, Stone, or Rock.

Now considering that Simon's full name was Simon bar Yonah, in English: Simon son of John, or even Simon Johnson, then his full name with Jesus' nickname is: Simon the Rock Johnson!

Funny coincidence? Skipping ahead a few thousand years, our current Rock is called Dwayne, and the meaning of that name happens to be Fishhook. And if you really wanna bring it home, Dwayne the Rock Johnson's daughter is named... SIMONE! We've come full circle! The end times are near.

Am I mad as a hatter?

You seem well read and would probably agree that capitalism will climb or remove any barrier. The post war years that gave the boomers the biggest part of wealth creation in history was the result of policy that has since been dismantled bit by bit until we are once again back at the conditions for war, Fascism and social division.

The who? The Hu! Who? The HU!

French aristocracy? Who ordered French aristocracy?

You made me think stubeef had died. Bad meme! Bad!

Can you guys stop complaining on Lemmy and get together a labor party. Any day now would be great.

Thank you so much America and RFK. Vaccines have become contested as scientific fact, and the only way to truly show the world the truth, is to rip away vaccines from a country that has them, and count the dead before and after. Your willingness to sacrifice potentially thousands of American lives to prove your opponents' point, is almost Christ-like in its self-sacrificial nature, and Trump-like in its mythical level of stupidity and disregard for the value of human life. The rest of the world thanks you for ridding our countries of any traction vaccine skeptics might ever have had. We thank you for your service.

Still have a few shares from the old gamestop squeeze, said I'd keep them as a memory. Might not now.

It makes me challenge my selfishness. It gives me the strength to care when I'd prefer not to. It lifts compassion as my highest ideal. I strive to forgive those who trespass against me, instead of seeking revenge. I might be an ok person without, or possibly bad. But I'm definitely better with.

Iirc, people in Soviet breadlines had money, but supply was limited and prices not allowed to follow demand. Money to spend, but nothing to buy.
