Are Jim Jones and Alex Jones related?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

He died with £250, which is worth £38,095 in 2024 money. I don't know if that's considered "dead broke" or not. 

His friend Engels died with an estate worth $6.8 million in 2024 money. He left the bulk of it to Marx's daughters. So they did OK.

It's interesting how quickly the personal pronouns regarding old people can shift from "them" to "me".

Me, I'm an old person now.

IKR? It's so weird being the same age as old people.

Historic switcheroo: Jansen officially set to play for two teams in one game

Quote:The start of Monday’s continuation of a suspended game between the Red Sox and Blue Jays will be history-making.

Toronto’s Danny Jansen was at the plate on June 26 at Fenway Park in the top of the second with one out and the count 0-1 when play was halted by rain.

On July 27, Jansen was traded to the Red Sox for three prospects.

So not only will the continuation on Monday at 2:05 ET start with the Blue Jays sending up a pinch-hitter for Jansen, but Red Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed Friday that he will put Jansen in behind the plate to replace Reese McGuire.

The same McGuire who was designated for assignment and eventually outrighted to Triple-A Worcester as a corresponding roster move for the Red Sox acquiring Jansen.

Once all this happens, Jansen will become the first player in Major League history to appear in the same game for both teams. The box score will surely be framed somewhere in the Jansen household.

I don't understand all the hate for Monday. I never work on Monday.

Cool

My big boy became a fisherman this month. He was tired of his dads old spinners, so he did yardwork around the community till he had a hundo and got a shiny new baitcaster.
