It’s so important to schedule your reading materials appropriately. Reading books is for after lunch. On mornings during the work week you read the newspaper between meetings, and on the weekend, good magazine writing while you have your coffee. Few understand this, these days.

Beginning final approach to the coffee zone. On my mark.

I know I’ve been asking for your prayers a lot lately. I am not sorry and will not stop. Second-round interview at 10am est for a position that could lowkirkenuinely transform my career.

Prayers up, heading in to a job interview

How to not have an inner life Inner life how to get rid of Tips for not having inner life

This country is profoundly mentally ill lol

Got a second round interview for a position next Thursday 🙏

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears

I gotta say, after seeing these pictures from the Mets gala, I can see why these guys aren’t winning many ball games

Watto and Qui-Gon fucked

Job interview at 1pm est today. Prayers up.

My apartment has a really shitty view

This got a sensible chuckle from me

“Do you notice anything different today?”

Jobs are making you do a screening call with a clanker now

Just got word I am getting laid off July 17th. This doesn’t come as a surprise, and stems from the company I work(ed) for getting acquired this past January. Would appreciate your prayers as I continue to search for a new role to support my family.

“To hit a home run” is crazy. If it were “to make any physical contact with the ball” I might still take the 50k

I have been a high functioning alcoholic for many years. As of tonight I have made the decision to quit, and to acknowledge in some kind of public fashion that I have a drinking problem. Please pray for me.

I’m thinking about having slightly too much plastic surgery

Sorry to hear about the assassination attempt on the President. You always hate to hear that someone tried to take the President’s life. I hope there are no more attempted assassinations of our President.

I’ve never seen a job market like this in my life. I’ve applied to hundreds of jobs over the past three months - I have over a decade of experience in my industry and a very strong résumé. I can’t even get interviewed anywhere.

My daughter has decided it is crucially important that every one of her stuffed animals, of which there are many, be piled beneath my desk at my feet as I am working. Nothing will distract her from the urgency of this task.

Annual reminder that the area St. George was from would not become “Turkey”until 800 years after his death. Anatolia was a province of England at the time.

Say a prayer for me if you would. Feeling blue about some personal stuff.

Airlines have gotten way too cavalier about forcing you to check your carry-ons. There’s supposed to be a social contract.

Was there ever anything else about that Vanity Fair article where that lady said she’d been Cormac McCarthy’s muse or whatever?

The Odyssey is a poem about when people show up to your house unannounced

Hungarians cannot say Orban was an authoritarian because it remained possible to defeat him via elections. If he had insulated himself from that possibility, he would have made it illegal to say he was authoritarian. So ideally no one should ever say anyone is authoritarian.

Working on teaching Grace that we can only read one book at a time. A lesson some of you could stand to learn as well, I suspect.

Why did Trump write this blurb about the stick being inducted in to the Toy Hall of Fame

Inside you there are two wolves. One serves THE EMPEROR. One serves THE POPE.

That’s phones

I am once again, like the protagonist of American novelist Don DeLillo’s 1985 WHITE NOISE, at the grocery store

My wife and daughter are having their first big mother-daughter fight. Age of daughter: 21 months.

The administration of the antichrist threatened to murder the Successor of Peter. They could lose as much as 5-10% of the white Catholic vote in the next election as a result of this.

My best guess as to what has happened with the cease fire is somebody (the Pakistanis?) got Trump and Iran to agree to totally different things and now they’re just hoping Trump loses interest before hostilities can resume

I do wish he’d use stronger language, but it feels like the Bishop of Rome is the only world leader calling for peace whose voice I’m hearing

This really made me think

What is first necessary is to rectify names

A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,

I’m *sucks in breath* slouching toward Bethlehem folks, that’s right. My hour has come round at last and it’s come round very strongly frankly. THE FALCON CANNOT HEAR THE FALCONER!

The President appears to be threatening to subject Iran to nuclear annihilation

Forgot about the part in the Question Concerning Technology where Heidegger says skeletons are scary lol

Please pray for a private intention regarding some (good) news that we got today

This an extremely cool article and it has also fully convinced me that the CIA should not exist. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

It’s so unfortunate that, if he is at Walter Reed, the army doctors attending him will almost certainly set their personal feelings aside and do their utmost to save his life

Getting word that President Trump has tragically died of ligma

I think there’s an outside chance this is deliberate. He clearly gets off on being like “I’m a conservative, but I’m a me an intellectual who knows about theory.”

Wishing you and yours a blessed Maury Thursday
