When people romanticize the past... 😂

Amen to that.

My dudes, turn this shit off. On iOS it's under Settings > Apps > Photos > scroll all the way down.

Excellent #AMA Realize you don’t need to read all of all of the books. You need arguments; where they fit in historiography; how they relate to ea other. Condense thoughts on ea book to 1-2 pgs for later review Think about YOUR view of topics/fields/periods based on your reading. What’s your take?

"A request made through ChatGPT, an AI-based virtual assistant, consumes 10 times the electricity of a Google Search" This isn't a game. This is accelerated destruction via huge usage of power, water, resources etc. Stop using it - especially for messing about!! www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Anyway....one of the reasons I said what I did is because a lot of people didn't have a great year. And honestly, I'm sympathetic to that. Life is tough. Wins are great but not everyone gets them.

Please arm yourself with knowledge. Birthright citizenship is not a policy choice it is a constitutional imperative (14th Amendment). It can no more be signed away by Executive Order than the First Amendment.

I'm once again asking for a show where a librarian, a bookseller, and a carpenter travel around helping people manage their out-of-control book collections. Discuss their sentimental value, their rarity, their histories, then build amazing book nooks and shelves and little libraries to organize them

I once had a fella point out an article that I needed to read when he was critiquing my work. I highlighted my name in the list of co-authors on that article and emailed it to him. Highly satisfying. 😏💅🏽

This is pretty concerning.

When I was a kid, I was not allowed to watch Power Rangers (too many unidentified powers) buy my dad loved the #XFiles and regularly let us watch with him. Pretty much sums up my childhood. 🤣😇😝

The prayer app Hallow's Advent "prayer challenge" includes Bear Grylls (reading from "A Severe Mercy"), Gwen Stefani (performing an original Christmas song) and Kevin James (discussing a book of Carmelite meditations). All of these are real. hallow.com/blog/pray25/

Be the woman hitting a Nazi with a handbag you wish to see in the world. I love that she has been immortalised by a statue too!

I love this drawing which I share every year around Christmas time. Look at their feet! Mary's consolation is all about the hope and promise of who is in her belly. Jesus is our Saviour—the giver of new life. I have more on this image here: margmowczko.com/mary-console...

The two leads in Wicked were both fantastic, but Jeff Goldblum was also great—the perfect blend of charm and sleaze.

If you are on the fence about seeing #Wicked in theaters (or at all), GO SEE IT. I had low expectations having been burned by too many musical films. Can’t believe how much I loved it.

Long lay the world in sin and error pining, till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.

Has anybody come up with a starter pack for Christian University faculty members?

The more education someone has, the more likely they are to report attending religious services weekly. It's been true every year it's been collected. Today about 30% of folks w/a college degree are weekly attenders. It's ~20% of folks w/a high school diploma.

With Bluesky finally taking off, I figured I'd update my thread of simple truths about Russia's War in Ukraine. Some of these posts have been evident from the start. Others reflect my analysis of events. A thread: 🧵
