I think it is, in fact, happening here.
Jamming to some old school Paramore this morning. What are you listening to?
Part of me wants to write a bunch of blogposts and stuff to help broaden the views of fundamentalists/evangelicals. The other part of me is like “Meh, who cares? The information’s already out there for those with ears to hear”
It’s too hot
Was away and mostly offline for a week. What did I miss?
If you only implement one tech rule with your kids, it should be: No screens in the bedroom, ever. www.theatlantic.com/family/ar…

You’ve got 5 or so minutes to explain the Christian gospel to a 5-year-old. In outline/summary, what do you say?

Born to read books.
Forced to stop the people who don’t read books from destroying the world.

Harbor Freight FINALLY released a sequel to its “meme tool” kit that now includes sockets. But, they messed with the fantastic ratchet and it costs $80. I think I’ll pass, even though I waited 2 years for this. www.harborfreight.com/hand-tool…
What’s a song that can still stop you in your tracks?
Still really really enjoy my software dev job. But I’m also learning handyman/DIY skills and building my tool collection as kind of an insurance policy. Even if just for fun, I want to be competent in as many different skills as possible.
