Dang, I didn’t expect my heart rate to remain kind of high from time to time. It makes me feel like lying in bed all day.
I read a report about how the ISIS affiliate in West Africa thinks that a Boko Haram commander is being too liberal in declaring other Muslims guilty of takfir (basically apostasy therefore liable for the death penalty under sharia). I think his name is Shekau, and his definition of apostasy is not joining his Jihad. Under this definition, killing random Muslims who are minding their own business is perfectly justified because by not joining him in overthrowing the Nigerian government, they’re committing apostasy; the other jihadis think that only killing Christians and people in the government forces is justified.
This kind of reminded me of LePen saying that the remigration meeting went too far. Or that time Alex Jones seemed quite sane when he was trying to talk Kanye West out of endorsing Hitler.
It’s my birthday today! I decided that going for a cold dip would be a good thing to do. It was very refreshing although I couldn’t stay long. Now I am sitting in the sun and reading birthday messages accompanied by a glass of cold mineral water with lemon and salt.
Today I’m going to play my first escape room with friends, and then we’re planning on going bowling afterwards. I find it funny that I had to sign a waiver stating, among other things, that I understood that the experience would include simulated situations that may cause excitement.
