Who decided that "Christian" entertainment had to be safe, grandmother approved, Hallmark channel slop?
The stories from the bible are raw, dangerous and violent. Mel Gibson is the only filmmaker with any huevos rancheros.
I understand why the genre might not be someone’s cup of tea. I don’t particularly gravitate to it myself, usually. But it’s okay for Christians to tell and enjoy stories that are tense, suspenseful, even scary. There’s nothing inherently sinful about any of those feelings. And the categorical insistence on avoiding those feelings is precisely why almost all “faith based” entertainment is terrible. I would argue that bland, bad, boring “Christian entertainment” — which is almost all of it, truly — is a far greater cultural problem for Christians than any horror movie ever could be. Christians used to be the great storytellers of western civilization. That was back when they told difficult, complicated, sometimes bleak and violent stories. Not anymore. Now the stories are all very nice and pleasant, but they also suck and nobody with any taste can stand to watch them.
BIZARRE STORY!! It is so hard to have to put down a pet. I've had to do it several times recently and it always hurts. I can't imagine my Vet doing something like this. It's so, so wrong.
🚨#BREAKING: A family in Georgia is outraged after they paid to have their 4-year-old pug named Cha Cha euthanized...
...and then MONTHS LATER later saw a photo on Facebook of their dog ALIVE AND WELL with a vet from the animal hospital
The story is wild.
According to the family, Cha Cha the dog got very sick, the vets told them it was organ failure and diabetic ketoacidosis... so the family decided euthanisia was the best course of action.
The family said goodbye in March, paid the bill, and went home grieving.
But according to the family, someone at that hospital was very attached to Cha Cha, because a worker took her home instead.
Months later, Rebecca (the owner of Cha Cha) was scrolling Facebook and saw a photo.
Her words: “I knew scrolling like that’s my dog.”
Even more wild...the vet's husband confirmed it, his wife not only had Cha Cha, but he says the pug was in GOOD HEALTH.
The dog they were told was dying was actually ALIVE and DOING WELL.
But it gets worse.
When the family went to the hospital, managers DENIED IT, Rebecca says they got a LAWYER and won’t talk about it.
Then, the family believes, the hospital put Cha Cha down to hide what happened.
Rebecca’s words:
“The fact that they put a healthy dog down. That’s just sick.”
And this is NOT the first time.
Earlier this year, another family said their cat Annie was supposed to be euthanized at the SAME hospital, and a worker took her home too.
The hospital admitted it “fell short” that time.
And Annie? She was put down too.
So twice now, a dog or cat has been alive and cared for after the family said goodbye.
...this is beyond insane
It would be so great to have a museum dedicated to the work of Rick Baker and his team. George Lucas just opened a museum in LA, if you look at the movies that Rick Baker has worked on, they could easily fill a museum with his artistry and craftsmanship.
Academy Award-winning special make-up effects artist and actor @TheRickBaker shares the monsters and maker that inspired his craft – as he reflects on the work of pioneering make-up artist, Jack Pierce.

There are religious leaders who will tell us there is no evil, that there are imbalances in brain chemistry, that Hurt people will hurt people. They tell us that if we look hard at a person's circumstances, their actions are understandable.
Pointing a gun at a 2yr old is EVIL!
🚨#BREAKING: IT’S HAPPENED AGAIN!!!!!!
A GEORGIA MOTHER HAS SH0T AND K*LLED HER OWN 2-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER IN A CHURCH PARKING LOT OUTSIDE OF ATLANTA!!!!!!
WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?!!!!!!!!!!!
We use AI mainly to settle arguments about what was that movie called where the guy turns into a cartoon fish and the US Navy makes him fight Nazi submarines or something.
Why is this "alleged"? It's known that Comey gave the press the Russian hoax story and it's known that the press ran with it. The story was repeated ad nauseum until the national media treated it as fact.
Is there a grey area we're not seeing?
Just took my dad 91yr old to vote and to pizza! Remember to help older folks get to the polling places to vote!
Aww.. that stinks. Walter was one of the good ones and a good writer too.

Life is like golf. Everyone makes mistakes we wish we could do over. We find ourselves in tough situations of our own creation. What matters is how well we recover from those mistakes.
We all screw up sometimes. Focus on getting the ball back on the green.
Up-and-down par saves from where? 🤯
Even Jason Day was left speechless after these shots from Victor Dubuisson.

What people don't understand about Elon is that he doesn't keep score. He's not competing with other billionaires. Money is just a means to an end. The outcome is all that matters.
The whole world can see a bad storm on the horizon for Brazil. This will get a lot worse before it gets better.
It's amazing how much the world has changed in the last four years. It has meant so much to me to be on X and learned from all of the great minds here discussing politics, finance, religion and philosophy--and laughed my butt off while doing it.
Always grateful!
Vermont should make self-driving Tesla rentals available to all of the visiting leaf-peepers who come to snap pics of fall colors.
The self-driving of a Tesla makes it an amazing touring car as you have time to look out the windows and admire the scenery while the car handles the driving. Great for photographers who want to snap pics while in motion.
It's time that we stop considering Europe as a whole to be our allies. We still have friends in Poland and Hungary, but the EU is more in bed with our enemies and denies our military access to bases we need against Iran.
Friends don't act like this.
In case you were wondering who was funding Russia's war on Ukraine, the EU is the number 1 purchaser of Russia's liquid natural gas and pipeline gas products through September 2026.energyandcleanair.org/august…
