Happy Juneteenth! This documentary by Our Daily Bread Ministries is excellent! youtu.be/YmjuDxKTzzg?... @rasoolberry.bsky.social

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

due process. freedom of speech. meritocracy over nepotism balance of power in govt Competent Leadership Science based health guidance foreign policy based on US interest academic freedom. non-retaliatory govt Court rulings being followed just a few things i used to take for granted in the US

Excellent piece on Miller on habeas. Far superior to the surprisingly both-sides-ish coverage by some media. What Miller is claiming the power to do isn’t questionable or dubious. It would be anti-constitutional usurpation. www.stevevladeck.com/p/148-suspen...

i’m back.

LA is going to simply be uninsurable after this, isn't it? I mean, what happens if you can't get homeowners insurance in one of the biggest real estate markets in the US? I know this is a what-comes-next issue, but also seems like the most direct way the market will HAVE to care abt climate chaos.

was disappointed with my result until I saw the star that only 83% got this one …. that’s among the lowest I’ve ever seen. Now i’m grateful ☺️ Wordle 1,300 5/6* ⬛⬛🟨⬛🟨 ⬛🟨🟨🟨⬛ 🟨🟩⬛🟩⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 WordleBot Skill 62/99 Luck 39/99

Wemby is putting the world on notice. Last night he went toe-to-tor with the best player in the world - the Joker- & dropped 35/18/4 … and won in Denver! Never seen anything like him. And he just turned 21 today! Il lui… roughly translated “he him.” 👽

i just learned that the current NFL coach with the highest winning percentage is … Nick Sirianni!!! 😱😱😱

Victor Wembanyama appreciation post part 2: Victor is currently averaging 3.93 blocks per game. That’s ranked 20th ALL TIME in the era of 3pter. The last time someone averaged this many bpg was Dikembe Mutumbo in 1995! It’s been 30 years. 😱 Most shot blockers hit their peak at 26. He’s 20.

Victor Wembanyama has already begun breaking records we just haven’t noticed. Here’s just a few: NBA’s youngest block leader Others to lead NBA in blocks while scoring 20+: Hakeem, Shaq, Kareem, Dwight, David Robinson, Alonzo Of those, only him, Hakeem & Kareem did it with 3.5 assists pg!

After reading up on Jimmy Carter, it seems as if he was one of the most principled and least problematic presidents ever. Ironically, it’s also what contributed to him serving 1 term. He didn’t play the game. He simply sought to govern. Grateful for the way he lived out his faith in public.

An empty seat at the table looms large during the holidays for many, say licensed counselors who help people grapple with loss. “Your silence, your remembrance, even your mood swings are love letters that declare, ‘I love you. I miss you,’” said one clinician. julieroys.com/your-tears-c...

Shooting and killing a man in cold blood is wrong. Yes, it’s still wrong even if that man is the CEO of company who is responsible for denying healthcare claims that result in bankruptcy or death. It’s shocking to me that to many this is a controversial statement.

interesting how the narratives about declining faith underreport the significant differences in nonwhite communities. I pastor a church of predominantly 20’s & 30’s in NYC. We need to listen and learn from more communities in the church. They might be doing something that’s working.

ever notice how it’s customary to compliment the appearance of a baby you see for the first time? “Awww, they’re cute.” Every once in awhile I laugh while imagining someone with the social skills of Dwight Schrute saying: “That baby don’t look right!” It gets me every time. 😆

Day 5 of having no cell phone. After the initial disappointment of not having a phone during my birthday, I’m actually not missing it that much. Just being present. We’re supposed to be reunited tomorrow night. Not looking forward to the # of notifications I’ll see though.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

My phone being stuck at a UPS facility 6 miles away all day due to “weather” (rain?) has me going through withdrawal. Imagine being without your phone on the busiest text day of the year: your birthday. I’m struggling but grateful for that Apple ecosystem allowing me to still text and post!

After major struggles, I’ve gone back to my go to starter word and rattled off 3/6 SIX times in the row. It may not mean much to many but to me I’m on an unbelievable hot streak DiMaggio would be impressed by! Wordle 1,249 3/6* ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛🟨🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

If by “echo chamber” you mean “an environment that’s less hospitable to white nationalists who wish to debate the merits of women’s suffrage,” then yeah, I’m fine with being in an echo chamber.

oooh adding this to the reading list

I have never felt the verse more than I do in this season. We can’t let counterfeit Christianity captive to cultural & political power define us. "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Matthew 7:21

this is that real talk about pastoral life right here.

Lemme find out there’s a cookout out here! #addtoblacksky
