    So there’s more going on at Wordpress. The boss (Matt Mullenweg) isn’t sure he’s going to bring the open-source org back online after the new year. Even though I had meant to use Medium for new content, I wanted to preserve the archive of the last 20 years in a... [Read More]

    Posted on March 23, 2024

    I am an agnostic Jesus-follower. That is, science and reason tell me that Yahweh, even if he existed, was a murderous tyrant, and so if Christians teach that Jesus was the son of Yahweh, or that Jesus believed he was doing the will of Yahweh,  or that Yahweh raised Jesus... [Read More]
