A beautiful day for footed pajamas.

Took a time lapse video of yesterday’s clouds! So pretty! ☁️⛅️☁️

You know how you have to stay still for three seconds when taking photos in the dark? I moved when taking a photo of the traffic tonight after a concert... and I thought the messed up pic was so pretty!

After the HBO broadcast of the Bill Maher show with @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social on Friday night, they filmed this extra ten minute segment for YouTube -- which I thought you might enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCWB...

Just had my cancer screening again. They gave me headphones for the MRI. Chose Johnny Cash. Over the knocking I listened to snippets of a song about how Johnny did a brain transplant with a chicken! Thought I might be hallucinating. However, cancer free still. Thanks be to God.

Fun seeing these guys chatting about important topics!

Brunch in Beverly Hills!

Widow's Bay is NUTSO and creepy and funny and spooky and unique and YIKES-Y.

Enough time has passed to admit this: on this day, I forgot to bake the crust. My guests pushed it around on their plates politely. I opted for the fruit tart. Only the next day, when I served it to a neighbor and took a bite, did I realize my mistake.

How did a woman who once fixed bagels for Steve Bannon at the home of Sarah Palin become persona non grata in Republican circles and earn the respect of countless progressives? Read @nancyfrench.bsky.social's heartbreaking yet hopeful memoir, Ghosted.

Words are not violence. Violence is violence. The story of the attempted murder of Salman Rushdie should remind of this… and encourage us to try to have one ounce of the courage he’s shown over the past few decades. @wearecmp

Enjoying the night with good company.

Participated in Chicago's Doc10 film festival on a panel discussing a new film about Adam Kinzinger's attempts at justice after J6. The former GOP congressman got a standing ovation in a room full of (presumably) Democrats. Integrity is inspirational. Pass it on!

Research help! Trying to find info on the old Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon, Ohio - specifically how Goodyear Atomic obtained fluorspar for their uranium enrichment and their relationship with Goodrich chemical plant in Henry, IL. This is a hail Mary, but anyone?

I feel seen.

Chocolate peanut butter pie! 🥰

One of my favorite desserts is a white chocolate fruit tart! (Preparing for dinner guests.) isn’t it so pretty? 🥰

Many of you wanted to see David French debate Chris Christie about sports gambling at the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics. Here ya go! (Chris Christie was in full Chris Christie mode.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAmV...

I choose to believe this analysis of my Connections game was a... compliment.

The season finale of "DTF St. Louis" was darker than I anticipated after its quirky, funny beginning. Who else has seen this beautifully acted series? I don't think anyone is posting about it because they all had to have emergency therapy sessions, amirite?

“According to one Italian religious historian, not even Hitler or Mussolini attacked the Pope so directly and publicly. It’s never great when someone says, ‘You should really be more discreet and respectful. You know, like Hitler.’” - Stephen Colbert

My favorite lunch date!

Miss Ruby, whom we knew from a KY Assembly of God, lost her granddaughter, daughter, family farm, husband & job in 3 years She was by her husband's side recently when he died. If u have cash burning a hole in your pocket, this would be a nice place to put it. www.gofundme.com/f/coming-tog...

No matter how hard I think about NOT getting my hand too close to the cheese grater, I always get my hand too close to the cheese grater.

My daughter is going to attend my seminar at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics today!

I'm so excited, bc I just got a sneak peak into the new book of Pulitzer Prize winning journalist @jodikantor.bsky.social about how people can find and start their life’s work in this nutty and chaotic world! (coming out 4/21 - pre-order here: tinyurl.com/2jjeyjac)

My hairdresser uses cover-ups with transparent panels so clients can see their phones more easily. I took this photo today from under that panel, and I think it’s so evocative! 💇‍♀️💈

Looks like Kanakuk's Joe White is saying he is resigning at least partially because of "fallacious attacks in the media." My reporting in The Dispatch, the Springfield News Leader, and USA Today were heavily corroborated and fact-checked, and I stand by every syllable.

Joe White is letting go of responsibilities at K2. Under his leadership at Kanakuk, hundreds of children were abused. This isn’t the end of an era — a new start requires institutional acknowledgement of wrongdoings and actual repentance. He's still currently CEO of this camp.

Had a wonderful weekend at University of Virginia at the Theological Horizons Scoper Seminar. 🥰

I sent this recipe to a friend (after they were a hit at book club last night) and didn't want to waste the gift link. Also, I added some slightly crushed Chex cereal in there -- you could add Rice Krispies! Enjoy! cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1018...

Eight weeks ago, I met a neighbor walking her dog and we became friends and she asked me to take an improv class and I did and now I'm walking out the door to perform with my improv troupe in the city of Chicago. Life comes at ya fast, doesn't it?

So excited about this Theological Horizons event featuring @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social and me at the 2026 Scoper Lecturers in Christian Thought. Join us!

Jennifer Lyell was the highest ranking female in the Southern Baptist Convention. Until she came forward with abuse against a Baptist leader. Now she's dead. Here's what happened. thesilencedtruth.buzzsprout.com

Ever have something big and fun to do and then something happens to mess it all up? And by the time the thing happens, you're too tired/sad/sick/poor/angry/hurt/annoyed to do it the way it should be done? I think of the first 40 seconds of this a lot: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpFN...
