Not much of a home-field advantage if your fans are booing you.

Not a trip to Vancouver without at least one stop.

Money ultimately motivates social media algorithms. The goal is to achieve sustained or increased usage to sell products and generate revenue. The topics are secondary to the reason most social media platforms exist. Money can quickly become the master we serve when we serve social media.

I think God's agenda for each of us is more complex and nuanced than responding to collective trending topics. Each of us has to find the best way to use our best energy for the work God has entrusted to our care.

Facial id not recognizing my morning face pretty much says it all.

How are you growing in the way you communicate online? I'd love to hear what you are working on to be a healthier communicator.

What or who sets the agenda of our lives is our master. #socialmedia

For the politically cynical.

Quick to listen, slow to speak.

“Give us your phone number and we will give you 10% off and endlessly text you until you opt out of our barrage of offers you have absolutely no interest in.”

Our assumptions dictate what we are willing to give and receive.

The future of all things: " _________ receives mixed reviews."

I somewhat agree, but what are your thoughts?

Sadly, radicalized people don’t seem to know they’ve been radicalized. Although their angry response to such assertions might be a sign that their subconscious is aware of the truth.

My dad has grown gentler, kinder, more loving, and more grace-filled over his life. He is an example to me of Christianity with integrity. We do well in climates of love.

Little Known Fact: Björk names all of IKEA’s products. Except the meatballs, she wanted them to be “the hush hush sound you make to a tiny baby.”

In our modern era, we're not as motivated to learn how to reconcile with individuals and communities as were our forebears. This lack of effort occurs primarily because we have many other community opportunities to replace the ones we have abandoned." #PostingPeace

"Networked individualism fosters a society where people are loosely connected with many networks of individuals, yet deeply connected with fewer and fewer people." #PostingPeace

"Networked individualism creates an environment where people use each other primarily for self-fulfillment." #PostingPeace

"Social media eliminates many of the practical motivators that used to help people resolve conflicts or maintain long-term relationships with differing individuals and communities." #PostingPeace

For people interested in navigating the social media landscape a little better. I wrote a book about it. www.amazon.com/Posting-Peac...

"Two things can be true..." Who knew?

I feel like a lot of our quick, uniformed communication is an attempt to control the narrative. Controlling narratives work against finding the truth.

It is ok to not know what to say or how to say it. There are many just like you who feel and think deeply but are reluctant to try to express those thoughts, feelings, and opinions in highly divisive, angry environments.

Sometimes it is easier to argue with strangers than to love those entrusted to our care.

Sometimes people with all the answers are focusing on the wrong questions.

For those struggling: you are loved and understood by God.

Saying it with certainty doesn’t make it true. (Read this with an uncertain tone)

There's a guy who used to pastor in my neck of the woods. He got into trouble for abuse and left town. Now, when he is lonely for attention, he posts stuff to get people to hate him. He will probably do this until he dies, and then it'll be over and it will all be such a profound waste of existence.

"Sometimes I feel you spend more time saving our country than trying to save yourself." "This is important! He's destroying everything." "Yes, but you're important too, & if I'm honest, I'm afraid there won't be much of you left, no matter what happens." "This is who I am." "That's what scares me."

It is easy to fall into a social media codependency where we daily focus on people more inept and broken than us, to avoid dealing with our own weaknesses.

And that's why I believe brefity is essential. 35/35

Once I left Twitter/X, my followers and interactions dropped from a lot to very little. Kind of feel like I headed from the hustle and bustle of the social media city to the lonely wilderness. In exile, I've discovered many things, such as the peace I have when unencumbered by daily trolling.

Just a friendly reminder that cats do not celebrate Caturday.

I think maturity is being certain about a few things and curiously confused about many things.

My friend in grade school had an opinionated father who used to yell at the TV. I think he was an early internet prototype.

Man cannot live by bread alone, but possibly Costco pizza.

I'd like to be half cremated.

Little-known fact: most apps are updated at the exact moment I figure out how to use the app.

They should do a voice style show, but for mimes. Judges turn their chairs when they feel like something might be good.

They should make Hoka shoes that you can also smoke.

I bet you Paddington Bear eats raspberry jam when no one is watching.

Fantasy football, but for t-ball.

If I had a petty time machine, I'd rescue my kindergarten self from all those boxes of raisins.

I assume, like me, most people drink the oil off the top of homestyle peanut butter.

I little experiment. I'm going to post 10 random posts in a row and study the results.

I got my back X-rayed 5 days ago to see if I fractured my back or if it's just really inflamed. I have yet to receive the results. Kind of strange walking around not knowing if I'm supposed to stretch this thing out or remain still. Hurray for healthcare.

How to overwhelm your baby.

Strangers insulting strangers online. I’ll never get used to this.
