A love-your-neighbor kind of Christian, doing his best to not be a be-an-asshole kind of Christian. Fan of Jesus, Star Trek: Lower Decks, the Philadelphia Phillies, and Martin Luther, though not necessarily in that order.

My insurance coverage includes a thing called #SwordHealth.

It bills itself as "AI-driven physical therapy."
I've used it for a couple of sessions now, and it's, like, not terrible, but I have a whole bunch of ethical and/or environmental concerns about AI. (1/3)

So, I presume we can opt out of curriculum that teaches our children that genocidal, slave-owning, rapists were “heroes”?

Because fuck these animals, this is my goddamn country of misfits, miscreants, migrants and dreamers, and some chinless MAGA puke doesn't get a say in that fact.

I’m a Christian and a pastor and while I would never want to sugarcoat the realities of death, I would never act to hasten anyone’s death, or treat their death flippantly. And that’s just treating one another with dignity.

crazy to me a whole generation of dudes heard pete rose lie about betting on baseball, then lie about not betting on the reds as a manager, then lie about not betting as a player, then finally heard him lie about the girls he preyed on, dusted off their hands, and went "well that's that i suppose"

The US would be better off being allies with Canada than with El Salvador.

Canada has a bigger economy, a stronger military, more land—including Arctic access—a long border with the US, good values, and a history of mutually beneficial cooperation.

Sorry to get so partisan, but that's how I feel.

Since so many organizations are dancing around it, I wanted to say it directly.

Today, we celebrate Jackie Robinson because he broke a decades long color barrier. Thanks to his perseverance, and talent on the field, the door was opened for POC to play in MLB. 👏

If you're going to say it, it should mean something.

No news organization should ever use the words "third term" without the word "unconstitutional" preceding it

Definitely just had to look up the date of my ordination for my reports to the bishop. Which I did by checking the metadata on the photos on my Google drive.

At least I remember my wedding anniversary date...
