On the hunt for podcasts and YouTube channels/videos that teach kids about good manners
How are you fighting back against AI brain rot?
Anything fun planned for this weekend?
Not a real artist here, but there’s gotta be a way to get Word, Sacrament, angel (St. Matthew’s symbol), and a subtle “M” together in a single logo. It’s for some pro bono website work I’m doing for a church called St. Matthew’s.
Trying to come with a way to add an “M” (for St. Matthew) to this design. Haven’t figured out a way to add angel wings that I like. But it seems like the M should be doable. Wish I were better at drawing/design!
I’m putting together a church website with Hugo. So far, just doing everything from scratch with some help fr Claude Code. But I’m wondering if there are any Hugo themes that are particularly good for church websites? Anyone out there make a church website with Hugo?
I really enjoyed listening to “Project Hail Mary” by Andy Weir. But, let’s be honest, in real life, they’d put Grok in charge of the ship and it wouldn’t even make it past the moon.
“…but God has shown me that I should not call anyone profane or unclean.” (Acts 10:28b)
What’s a line from a poem, hymn, or song that brings tears to your eyes?
Was reading more of “Democracy Awakening” by Heather Cox Richardson last night. The last, idk, 10 years have been such a blur that it’s wild to read a sober account of, say, just 2019-2021, and realize “We put this madman in charge….again.” What a time to be alive. The kakistocracy is mind-numbing.
What will the history books say about how churches in the USA met the moment of the 2020s?
“Which expense in your life delivers the least happiness per dollar and which delivers the most happiness per dollar?” (HT: James Clear, who HTs The Simple Path to Wealth)
Our leaders have abandoned us. We need new leaders.
Calling for a day of mourning, protesting, fasting, praying, etc. this July 4th. Not celebrating. Who’s with me?
Interesting to compare the GOP’s record on (1) fiscal conservatism, family values, and a pro-life ethic vs. (2) helping the rich at the expense of the poor, and blaming immigrants, liberals, the poor, minorities, LGBTQ, etc. for all our problems. GOP = pro-Mammon and pro-xenophobe.
God will not be mocked. He hears the cries of the widow, orphan, and immigrant. He remembers the plight of the poor, powerless, and oppressed. Those who take the name of the LORD in vain by hating the poor in His name will receive a double portion of retribution from the Almighty.
Am I the only one who feels like an idiot every time I try to get from the emoji keyboard back to the normal keyboard on my phone?

If you could only own one physical dictionary (and it can’t be the full OED), which dictionary would it be?
