Robert P. Jones reminds us that, though Republican presidential candidates (except for Trump) flocked to Iowa recently to pander to a large crowd of white evangelicals, "white evangelicals, and their views on sexuality and reproduction, are far outside the mainstream, even among their fellow Christians in America’s heartland."

One of my favorite #Mastodon pastimes when I'm feeling down is to look at the local or global timeline and find people who are happy about something but aren't getting any boosts or replies.

please, be better

"Sixteen cities across Italy have been issued with red alerts as southern Europe continues to experience fierce heat and faces the possibility of record-breaking temperatures.

Rome, Florence and Bologna are among the areas affected by the heatwave, with forecasters suggesting that Sicily and Sardinia could see temperatures climb as high as 49C (120F), which would be the hottest ever recorded in Europe."
