What threshold has to be crossed before you finally hit block, mute, or just walk away?

Niebuhr grounds me in humility; Heschel and Baldwin call me to compassion. Between those two poles—accepting my limits without surrendering my concern—is where discernment happens.

I've been thinking about malice lately. There's specific, targeted, even ethically-based malice. But then there's the general malice that's become a currency in our culture.

Pretty cool milestone. We just started with the video versions of @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social. So it's encouraging to get some traction. This is in addition to the audio versions which are, thankfully, doing really well. (The only downside with video is folks have to look at my ugly mug!)
