The reason why God was so involved in human affairs a long time ago but then noped out after Jesus is because God is going through the same motions for every animal species: making a covenant, giving commandments, and sending down his own child to die in the form of that species. I know this because I felt an odd urge to swallow a mouse yesterday and, when I questioned it, I received a vision from God saying that He was on mice right now, and the mouse I was about to swallow was the mouse-equivalent of Jonah. Tomorrow I'm supposed to spit him out in a den of sinful mice so that he can squeak to word of God at them. I wish that little guy the best.

Broke: Richard II was a narcissist
Woke: Henry IV was a narcissist
Bespoke: we need to stop psychoanalysing people who died 600 years ago as if we can gain any real insights into who they really were privately from the public image they projected or had projected onto them. We also need to stop slinging out “narcissist” as our byword for “basically evil”.
