Hey what are some fun things to do in Pittsburgh this weekend with a old buddy of mine who’s coming to visit?

I sometimes wonder if the last person in Hell to relent to God’s terrible goodness won’t be the vilest sinner, but rather the staunchest defender of “eternal conscious torment.”

Should I buy: BDF Grammar, Mishnah, Talmud? 📚

Looking to round-out my biblical/theological library. I’m on the fence about buying:

Any thoughts on these? Are BDF, Mishnah, and Talmud worth owning? Other editions you’d recommend? Cheers!

What’s a hobby of yours that you wish more of your friends were into?

On Pentecost, I get the privilege of baptizing our baby daughter! Here’s an old blog post I wrote about what Anglicans believe about Baptism, including a bit about the “baptismal regeneration” question: anglicancompass.com/lets-talk…

What are the best things you’ve ever read about Christian universalism?

I love micro.blog, but I don’t think it’s the right fit for “8020 Tools,” a project I’d like to revive and turn into a side hustle (affiliate links, with potential ebooks, courses, etc. down the road). Still on the fence about how/where to host the hub website. Suggestions?

I’m interested in learning/reviewing the most important concepts (think Pareto Principle, the 20% of concepts that yield 80% of the benefits/results) in psychology, economics, and statistics/probability. What learning resources do you recommend?

Someone please talk me into or out of buying a fancy “machined” metal pen… ✍️

In hindsight, it’s somewhat unfortunate that I got my clerical vestments when I was in the best shape of my life, a few years before Covidtide came…

And the quest continues for a fun fire and s’mores night with the kiddos that doesn’t devolve into tears and mayhem… 🪵🔥🍫😭

Software developers: What policies, guidelines, etc., if any, does your company have around the use of generative AI in your development work?

∞

HEY! Who are the best, most even-keeled thinkers commenting on generative AI today? Like, who could write about AI at length for, say, The Economist? I’m having a hard time finding people like this in all the noise of AI cheerleaders and doomsayers.

I’m much more worried about FOX News coming for my relatives than LGBTQ people coming for my kids.
