Jesus was a Palestinian refugee
The tomb is empty. The promise is fulfilled. Through His sacrifice, we are redeemed. We stand firm in faith, courage, and truth—Happy Easter.

"Welcome to my old neighborhood." Our @NASAArtemis II astronauts woke up on the sixth day of their mission to a special message recorded in 2025 by astronaut Jim Lovell, the pilot of Apollo 8.

Evan Singleton is ripping it up at the top of the World's Strongest Man leader board. But it's a shame his gran is in last place.

Here's a better angle that shows the @Maori_Party performing the haka right up in David Seymour's face. He looks shit scared.

I'd love to encourage everyone currently applying for jobs out there NOT to have AI or ChatGPT assistance with your cover letters. They all look the same, and they're dense word salad. When I see a cover letter clearly written by a human I can't help but sit up and take notice.

Hiring managers are human too, and I'm personally more interested in learning a bit about someone and why they're interested in the job, rather than a chop-and-paste of your CV. The cover letter is a big part of shortlisting. Good luck out there everyone.

When I was a kid I listened to the song Your Mother Should Know and tried to figure out when the long long time ago was and what the song was. Now I'm the mother, and the song is Your Mother Should Know.

We knew Michael Jackson was a wrongun when he betrayed Paul McCartney and bought the Beatles rights. Based on Paul's own advice in buying song rights.

This makes me feel vindicated in my decision as a parent to invite the whole class or not have a party, and also to tell people no presents, to spare anyone financial hardship. We've all got enough stuff and it's nice to spread the joy of being invited and being included.
Parents, take your kids to all those birthday parties. Here's why. Once upon a time, a million years ago, in a San Fernando Valley far, far away, my mother had a birthday party and nobody showed. Not a single kid. With school starting, I wanted to share the story. A thread 🧵

I feel very distressed at the ACT push to sanction people on benefits who have children. This is skating very close to eugenics and curtailment of reproductive freedom that I absolutely do not want the state to have a say in. People who receive benefits are also taxpayers.

As if "being a taxpayer" is the trump card that determines someone's humanity - also a very problematic statement, but lest anyone start bleating about dole bludgers having kids they can't afford, a reminder about benefits being taxed at the source a more honest tax than some pay
