I have some commentary on the Netflix Documentary “the Social Dilemma” that I was going to post. But everything just feels so serious and crazy to me right now, I thought it might be good just to give everything a bit of a break.

A while ago some friends of mine and I had this competition to write fake Bible Verses. These are the cream of the crop. Add your own in the comments. It’s big fun.
