Watching Ratatouille with the kids. It definitely still holds up!
Trimming-down my social media presence, at least for now, back to just Micro.Blog. I love how quiet Micro.Blog is, but it does feel rather, idk, lonely, compared to Mastodon and BlueSky. Any tips for addressing this?
Cal Newport: “This all points to a critical question that, until recently, few would have considered: Is it possible that the AI we are currently using is basically as good as it’s going to be for a while?” www.newyorker.com/culture/o…
Deleted my omg.lol account, which also removes my social.lol. Anyone got a good Mastodon server they’d recommend?
Getting really tired of the perpetual, cyclical drama between social.lol/omg.lol and micro.blog. Paid for 10 years of omg.lol 2 years ago, but I’m ready to leave 8 years early. This is not a defense of anyone and their personal views. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
This 2025 Superman movie was the first Superman movie I’ve seen where I was older than Superman. 👴🏻💀🪦
Well, I caved and bought the Meme Tool 2.0 from Harbor Freight’s Parking Lot Sale for 40% off. I still wish they would have used the ratchet from the first Meme Tool set, but I gotta say it is nice to be able to so quickly grab a socket (no skips, SAE and Metric) and put it on the ratchet or the driver. Made working on my lawnmower earlier a more pleasant experience. And was able to quickly adjust my daughter’s new bike last evening.
Happy Friday! Any fun plans?
Idea: A “The Office”-style mockumentary that covers the craziness of Wheaton-area Anglicanism over the past 25 years. ⛪️📺⚓️
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…
On the lookout for good, concise explanations of how taking the Bible seriously doesn’t have to mean taking the Bible “literally.” Resources for responding to things like: “If you don’t interpret the Bible literally the whole way through, it’s a slippery slope and you can’t trust any of it.”
You’ve got 5 or so minutes to explain the Christian gospel to a 5-year-old. In outline/summary, what do you say?
“Christian humanism,” according to David Gushee, is “orienting our lives by a version of Christian faith that is compassionately realistic about the human condition, reflects the best of human knowledge, and enables all kinds of human beings to truly flourish. It’s humane and for human well-being.”
We need to close our AIR border with Canada and fix the clean air DEFICIT from Sleepy Joe Biden and Barack HUSSEIN Obama. We don’t want this WOKE SOCIALIST Canadian smoke, and they shouldn’t get any fresh AMERICAN air until/unless they join the US of A!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
