The universe has been taking so much lately; it's nice when it gives back a little.

Paywalled but don't need to read it because it's right. @vulture.com

Guys, trust me you don't want to do this. Actually teaching the Bible is the last thing you want if your goal is to make more evangelicals.

Hey @Apple and @SamsungMobile

It's 2023. Surely we can figure out a way to set aside our differences enough to prevent this nonsense. Show us all the way in these troubled times.

This is a bit like saying that environmentalists are often surprised to learn that poachers also "like animals." One wants to protect it while the other wants to kill it. Most Rs are not afraid *for* democracy. They're afraid *of* it. @nytimes #democracy

Seems about right. It was a moody year.

How much money do you have to have to find this "game" amusing rather than enraging? (from @nytimes)

Happy Mead Day! A national holiday I can really get behind. Paired a peach rhubarb cobbler mead from Manic Meadery with...well, you know. 🥂

I had just decided against tweeting a similar joke in the opposite direction when I saw this. That anyone could think Russell freaking Moore is any of these things is just farcical. If he's in any way liberal, then I'm literally made of rainbows.

Drinking mai tais last night and wondered aloud that it'd be cool if we had little umbrellas. Wife disappears and comes back in like 5 minutes with these. Idk how impressive it is for crafty people, but for book nerds like me it seems like straight up magic.

Bittersweet experience seeing @mewithoutYou for the last time. But I went with a good friend who was there when I discovered them and randomly ran into Aaron on the way in. I'm satisfied.

The record ended long ago.
We go on dancing nonetheless.

The evangelical mindset: other people must dislike me because of something I value about myself rather than, say, the fact that I am actively trying to establish an authoritarian theocracy and ruin other people's lives totally unprovoked. Yea, just like Rome. 🙄
