Half of Gen Z just told a pollster they won’t darken a church door because of the goddamn grifters squatting in the pulpit.
Honestly? Good for them. That’s not losing faith. That’s keeping receipts.
Who surprised you lately by doing the right thing when they had every excuse not to?

48% of Gen Z won’t walk into a church because of who’s standing in the pulpit. They didn’t leave over theology. They left over the company the theology started keeping.
The "we’re the only real Christians" brand took decades to build and one term to burn. The kids ran the numbers. Does this shock you? It does not shock me.

Today: a party counting without its strongman, a sea running a fever, a study that caught the left flinching. This rickety beautiful thing runs on readers — no billionaire owns a syllable. If the words fed you, click an advertiser and feed them back. That's the whole net.

We carried all of it today — Newark, the spy tier, the killed wind farm, Hemphill's fire. No billionaire funds this. When you click an advertiser, you're not buying anything — you're buying us another morning to write. Every click is the next sunrise we get to meet you in.

History / Hemphill + Rivera
Essex Hemphill wrote in the teeth of a plague, when the men in pulpits called the dying deserved. Thirty-four years later a pastor recycles the same machinery. We kept reaching for each other anyway. The fear was theirs. The tenderness was ours.

Wellness / somatic
Before you open the news, press both feet flat to the floor and name three things you can hear. Your nervous system needs proof you exist before the feed tells you to be afraid. The held breath tells your vagus nerve the emergency has passed, and the heart rate follows like a dog called home.

Science / the fossils
62 million years ago, 4 million years after the asteroid, a stretch of Egyptian seafloor filled with fish — and held them in stone. 500 specimens. Paleontologist Sanaa El-Sayed pulled them from blistering desert, closing a ten-million-year hole in how life rebuilds after catastrophe.

The pastor / queer culture
A far-right pastor told American men that marijuana makes them "spiritually gay" — and that the cure is a cigarette. He praised a tobacco brand by name and called 60 years of cancer warnings a psyop. A man so terrified of softness he'd rather have cancer isn't a warning about us. He's a confession about him.https://twp.ai/4hs7Bv #QueerNews #Homophobia #Pride #TransRights #Masculinity #ChristianNationalism #Queer #ThistleAndMoss #TheGathering -
Hard news / Iowa upset
The orange one swore he owned Iowa. Tuesday his hand-picked man lost. Randy Feenstra — endorsed days before the vote — got beaten in the governor's primary by a businessman the president never blessed. The winning streak? Snapped, in the one state he was sure of.https://twp.ai/4hs7Bw #Politics #Election2026 #Resistance #Democrats #Trump #News #USPolitics #ThistleAndMoss #TheGathering -
Today: an unsigned ceasefire, a 91% chance we breach 1.5°C, and blood banks filling because England finally asked the right question. This thing stays alive because readers refuse to let it die. Click our advertisers and partners — the lamp left on against the dark stays lit because of you.

A senator, a screen, a degree of heat — today cost something small and enormous. We named it all. This whole green and burning thing runs on people who pay for it. Clicking one ad costs you nothing and keeps the lights on, the rage free. Please.
