Is The Bible God's Word? -- David W. Hester

How shall we view the Bible? Is it just one of many “holy books”—no better or worse than, say, the Qu’ran of Islam, the Reg Veda of Hinduism, or the Book of Mormon? Is it nothing more than an outstanding piece of literature—on par with the works of Shakespeare, “inspired” in the way that any great literary work is composed? Or, is the Bible something much more—the very Word of God itself? The way…

From Salve "Matt" Matheson's memories from his Normandy questionnaire. "Clarence Hester and Nixon putting wine bbottles between my legs under blanket while I was being evacuated from Carentan".

And a response to Dick's letter asking about Sobel and Speirs Matheson thinks Speirs's problem was women? Since he had 4 wives? English, Venezuelan, Cuban, and New Zealand. He only knew of his "problems" while regimental adjutant. (No he doesn't expand upon it)

And in another letter about "Ronnie Speirs problem wasn't booze it was women":

And coming in with a hit at Webster:

I am obsessed with operation mincemeat so I'm going to list my favourite songs/ moments

All of the harmonies/ overlapping voices because there are only five people singing it doesn't get too confusing and sounds amazing

It's actually funny

All the songs are good - there are lots of musicals that there are a few songs that I really like but the rest I don't. For this one, I love every single song

Jean - every single time she sings I am in awe

The songs are so catchy

DEAR BILL

'penny for me governor?' 'what century are you in?' 'YAYYYY'

Monty in the glitzy finale

The way they changed between scenes in just for tonight - SO SMOOTH

My absolute favourite songs (I love all of them though) - born to lead, God that's brilliant, all the ladies, making a man, DEAR BILL, just for tonight, das ubermensch, act as if, glitzy finale

THIS MUSICAL IS SO AMAZING OMG

Finally got around to taking the exhaustive version of this character quiz again since I saw they added Yellowjackets (I wish they had more characters but it’s something) to it. So stoked to have Nat and Maeve in my top characters!

I don’t know all of them though so I guess I have some new stuff to watch.

No pressure but tagging some mutuals if anyone feels like taking it too!

The Butt-Shermer Debate On The Existence Of God -- David W. Hester

On October 25 2023, a debate was held on the campus of Faulkner University. This alone would have made news, but both the topic and the participants drew even more attention. Kyle Butt of Apologetics Press affirmed the existence of God, and Michael Shermer of the Skeptics Society denied. The story of how this debate came to be is interesting. In the spring of 2022, Mitch Henry became the…

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

today I've been reminded of detective comics annual 8, which is my favorite of ed's comic appearances, so I thought I'd ask you what's your favorite riddle guy comic and why?

god DC annual #8 makes me INSANE that's like. pure distilled Riddler sauce right there. absolute platonic ideal of the Riddler. he is perfect to me. somebody surgically wire that into Tom King's brain before they ever let him write the Riddler again I swear to god.

I'm still working on my New Earth read through so I'm finding new faves all the time, but as of this exact minute some faves:

I fucking hate to hand it to Chuck Dixon but Detective Comics #705-707 (Dixon, Graham Nolan, and David Roach, 1997) is so so good. like he's literally just trying to do a stupid baseball heist and blow up Cluemaster while he's at it. THAT is a Riddler story, babey. Echo and Query are even there!!!

Impulse #48 (Bill Messner-Loebs and Craig Rousseau, 1999) is just a spectacular one off Riddler appearance, namely because you get the strong impression that if left alone with Bart for like. two hours. Eddie would probably willingly kill himself. very fun watching his schtick absolutely crumble in the face of a speedster.

Batman Adventures Vol. 2 (worked on by like half a dozen different writers, 2003). honestly the BTAS version of the Riddler was never anything spectacular to me - he's fun, not a standout - but goddd he rules so hard in the sequel comics. he's (once again) retired and made legitimate money, so now he's so desperately bored he's harassing Batman with stupid non-crimes until Batman snaps and just starts using him as a private detective so he'll have something to do. mwah.

Batman Confidential #26-28 (Nunzio DeFilippis, Christina Weir, Kevin Nowlan, and José Luis García-López, 2009), which is collected as Batman: King Tut's Tomb. another banger story, it has everything I like. namely, the Riddler being so annoying that Batman lets him work a case with him and bitchy buddy comedy shenanigans ensue. and King Tut is there!

Dinner for Two (Ram V and Phil Hester) in Strange Love Adventures (2022) #1 is so... like they just went for it. they said fuck it the Riddler bisexual and spending his Valentine's Day making Batman hang out with him to complain about how he's lonely. make of that whatever you want.

Catwoman: Lonely City (Cliff Chiang, 2022). an older, widowed Riddleguy who's kicked his riddle habit (in addition to, apparently, a pretty brutal coke problem) and is settled in to running slightly more normal grifts with his adorable daughter Edelia. look at them. I have to show you this because I just like Chiang's art so so much, look at themmm

also obligatory shoutout to the Riddler appearance of all time, whichever issue of Bruce Wayne: Murderer?/Fugitive is the one where he's crashing at Stephanie Brown's house being a fucking menace and Black Canary kicks him out on his ass in five seconds flat while he's wearing a fluffy yellow bathrobe. and also kicks Cluemaster out of his own house for good measure.

Clarence Hester's letter to Dick Winters expressing how much he enjoyed Webster's Parachute Infantry but Ambrose's "D-Day June 6" was not impressive and looked like it was rewriting history and losing Ambrose credibility.

This is The Farming Left: these land workers share a politics, united by the concept of food sovereignty: the right to control of local food systems, which originated with farmers in the Global South. ‘We’re talking about equitable access to resources to enable localised food supplies’, explains Fernandes. These organisations are tackling the challenges of access to land in an unequal landscape: the Ecological Land Cooperative, for example, purchases large plots and obtains planning permission for dwellings before parcelling them up into affordable smallholdings.  The Kindling Trust in Manchester is also seeking to foster a new generation of agroecological farmers. The Trust, which was established in 2007, has a veg box scheme and a community garden, and also offers training to new entrants, but there has always been a long-term plan to establish a cooperative farm. Since raising over a million pounds from more than six hundred investors last year, the Trust is looking to purchase a 120-acre farm in the Manchester area. ‘We want people to feel ownership in whatever way they get involved’, explains co-founder Chris Walsh. Whether they are founding members, workers, investors, or tenants, they will all be represented equally on a governing board.   There ‘is a need for a rural radicalism’ of this kind, argues Chris Smaje, farmer and author of A Small Farm Future (2020). ‘It’s about trying to de-commodify land and take it out of speculative ownership’, he explains. For Smaje, who plans to purchase a 20-acre plot to be divided up among several small-scale farmers, the goal is ‘to build a land-based community’ and ultimately ‘generate more of what we need within our own communities’.  While the radical agrarian community in the UK pales in comparison to the strength of conservative farming interests, this fight for land – and the right to use it – is happening on a global scale. The international peasants’ movement is connected through the 200-million strong La Vía Campesina, linking groups such as Brazil’s Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST), or ‘Landless Workers’ Movement’, which has, since the 1980s, been occupying land to their counterparts across the world. The world’s farming Left is a David to big agribusiness’s Goliath, the latter having been bolstered by states, major international institutions, and the liberalising of global political economy since the Second World War. From Zapatistas to Scottish crofters, the peasants’ movement is fighting to turn the tide on our social and ecological future before it is too late.
