A left-wing editor said it was evidence of "creeping Christian nationalism" after a flight attendant wished her a "blessed" night — and commenters on X reacted to the journalist's complaint with a barrage of scorn. Mother Jones editor in chief Clara Jeffery wrote on X, "Creeping Christian nationalism alert: @AlaskaAir flight attendant just wished us a 'blessed' night as we landed in SFO (!) to groans. Other adjectives that would have sufficed: great, awesome, fabulous, amazing, fantastic… As my rowmate said, 'this ain’t Montgomery, sweetie,'" according to various media outlets. 'You have issues greater than a flight attendant’s well wishes.' It appears Jeffery deleted her controversial X post, which reportedly went live Friday night after her arrival in San Francisco — but plenty of notable observers read it and didn't like it one bit. Kamala Harris fundraiser Armand Domalewski replied to Jeffery: "Respectfully, I’m a pretty left leaning guy, and I wish folks a blessed day fairly often. It’s just a nice thing to say." Jeffery shot back: "Eh. It’s a matter of respect for the audience before you. Respecting their space and norms and wishes. Dominant cultures always feel they have a right to enforce their norms and intents. And…way off @AlaskaAir’s brand." With that, Domalewski smartly retorted, "As a practicing Catholic I don’t feel like being publicly Christian is really the dominant culture here in SF lol." Others reacted similarly: — (@) — (@) — (@) — (@) — (@) — (@) — (@) — (@) — (@) Others pointed out that Jeffery herself has used the term "bless" in the past.Jeffery so far hasn't deleted a pushback post apparently against the derision her "creeping Christian nationalism" statement elicited; not surprisingly, she specifically notes those of the right-wing persuasion: — (@) "The thing about being dragged by rw 'alphas' is that they are all so so so dumb," she said.But Jeffery promptly got dragged yet again as her apparent pushback post has been massively ratioed as of Monday morning with just over 200 likes and nearly 1,000 comments. Here are some of them:"I hate to break it to you sweetie pie, but relatively few of those dragging you are [right wing]. So far it has been mostly [left wing] and centrists and really every tribe on the planet," one commenter observed. "Could be the real [right-wing] 'alphas' think the wicked witch of Mother Jones is just beneath them. Bless your heart.""Looks like you're being dragged by just about everyone, have a blessed day!" another declared."Maybe log off for a couple years," another suggested."Have a blessed day," one commenter said."Clinical psychopaths are quite good at portraying themselves as victims," another noted. "Maybe you should look into that, psycho.""Have you thought that maybe YOU’RE the problem? I mean, look at the comments," another wrote. "Maybe some self reflection would be a good thing for you."

Bill Maher may commonly find himself as the voice of reason among his fellow liberals — but on a recent segment of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” one of his guests took that position instead. While Maher repeated media talking points regarding the death of the Great Barrier Reef, his guest, Bjørn Lomborg, dismantled his argument with ease. “What will the ocean look like? I mean, I’m not talking about oceans rising, I’m talking about oceans dying — and the world can’t live with dead oceans. And it seems like they’re in bad shape, between all the plastic in them, they’re overfished,” Maher tells Lomborg. “Coral reefs, I know you’ve talked about, ‘Oh, that’s exaggerated.’ Tell me about why you think the coral reef problem is exaggerated,” he added. Despite Maher’s confidence in his lead-up, Lomborg was ready for it. “That’s just the data,” he retorted. “Remember, by the end of the century, the U.N. estimates the average person on the planet will be 450% as rich as he or she is today. So that means instead of being 450% as rich, we will feel like we’re only 435% as rich.” “Yes, that’s a problem, no, it’s not the end of the world,” he continued, before making his point about the coral reef. “The guys who do the data every year on the coral reef since 1986 have been assessing what is the total outcome of how good does the coral reef look.” “In 2009 to 2012, we thought it was terrible. It was really dramatic. The Guardian wrote the obituary for the Great Barrier Reef. And the point I’ve just been making is the last three years, they’ve been at the highest level, the most coral reef we’ve ever seen in those areas,” Lomborg explained. “Most of the challenge comes from overfishing, from industrial pollution, from sea runoff, and those are the things we should fix. But we’re not being well-informed if we’re being told this is because of climate change, so we’ve got to change our entire infrastructure on our global economy in order to save the oceans, when it’s not actually what’s going to happen,” he finished. Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” is on the same page. “If you don’t give AOC the power to fix the climate, that’s one of the things that they would love to cancel everybody for and keep liberals in a constant state of hysteria,” Rubin says.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Morrowind is the greatest game ever created. At least, acknowledged by me, and that’s all that matters. That weird sideways step in the Elder Scrolls series took the action away from wide procedural generation in Daggerfall to a smaller, more focused approach - with incredible success. Recently things have been going the other way, though, with Starfield containing an especially large galaxy to explore. Bethesda head honcho Todd Howard has spoken about why its games are getting bigger, and how it tries to balance that with fun.

Perhaps it’s just me, but there's something so fascinating about looking back at our predecessors’ visions of the future. Flying cars, robots; things that now seem almost quaint compared to our modern, neon-bathed, cybernetic dreams. Unlike the ever-popular cyberpunk worlds associated with capitalist dystopias or impending armageddon, New Arc Line's steampunk setting is infused with a feeling of hope. The titular city represents prosperity, the American dream - it’s like walking back in time to an era that, while ravaged by war, outwardly looks a little brighter.
