Some personal news...👀 I can't thank @heathwcarter enough for his support and encouragement to pursue a #ReligiousBio of Medgar Evers. This is only a start, but already, it's been a journey.
Heath Carter@heathwcarter

I am delighted to share that @PLConnelly will publish a #ReligiousBio of Medgar Evers in the @eerdmansbooks Library of Religious Biography series. The book will come complete with a foreword by @JemarTisby. Can’t wait!

One wonders what the point is to have Hungary in the EU or NATO if Orban continues in power. To be this supportive and deferential towards an authoritarian ruler and war criminal who murders Ukrainian civilians is a betrayal of Orban's own 1989 legacy. (cc: @roddreher)

Bloomberg News exclusive: Orban Offered to Be ‘Mouse’ Helping Russian ‘Lion’ in Putin Call Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban told Vladimir Putin during a phone call in October that he was willing to go to great lengths to assist the Russian president “Yesterday our friendship rose to such a high level that I can help in any way,” Orban said, according to a Hungarian government transcript of the call reviewed by Bloomberg. “In any matter where I can be of assistance, I am at your service.” “The more friends we make, the more possibilities we have to resist our adversaries.” To underline the point, Orban recalled a children’s story he said was popular in Hungary. The Aesop fable involves a mouse freeing a lion caught in a net after it had earlier spared the rodent’s life. The remark drew a laugh from Putin, the transcript shows. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Before Sunrise is unwatchable because it's so good. It's such a beautiful encapsulation of young iPhoneless love, shot on analog film, a nineties time machine of a mysterious Europe that no longer exists, you feel like you are dying as you watch it.

The Artemis II crew filmed 🎥 an 80s sitcom intro video. And I love ❤️ it.

U2 has given us in the just-out Easter Lily ep a digital collection of songs that reflect the boldness, deeply personal tone, spirituality and, ultimately, joy and hope of the band's finest work. What a wonderful gift in these troubled, confusing times. A blessing for us all.

@PLConnelly DS earned a HOF spot with her post-game interview alone, dealing with that Geno rubbish like an adult.

Ok I have a few theories on this... - Where you live in the NFL matters slightly less because unless you're in the playoffs, you're gone for the worst months of winter. You can head back to Florida or Texas rather than spend a winter in Minneapolis. NFL offseason is longer too. - NBA guys have to travel so much more that their home base is inherently more meaningful. - This is the biggest reason, I think: NBA careers are more stable. In the NFL you sort of know you're living year-to-year. Your contract is minimally guaranteed, one injury can change everything. Under those circumstances, being with the best organization, the one that's gonna put you in a position to succeed, is critical. Whereas an NBA guy can take a longer view on his career, assume more easily that he has 15 years, and then think a bit more broadly about what he wants out of that time. He's getting paid either way so he can say "you know what, I'd rather get paid in Miami than Milwaukee."
Raheem Palmer@iamrahstradamus

This is my sentiment exactly. Like no one complains about playing in Green Bay, Wisconsin in the NFL and there's guys fighting to be there but somehow the Bucks will never get a decent free agent Superstar if Giannis leaves. It's honestly annoying and it's like NBA players don't really the privilege they have to play professional sports.

Well said. Lebron's Lorraine Motel themed shoes (!?), apparently priced at over $200, make his comments trashing the city of Memphis even more egregious.
Clayton Collier@ClaytonJCollier

LeBron profits off of Memphis' history, then uses his enormous platform to dump on the city. Disappointing to put it mildly. Maybe on that next random Thursday, he could visit the National Civil Rights Museum again—one of the many places that makes Memphis so special.

I'm an NBA fan, have traveled 3 hrs to Grizzlies games, and had a great time. I've never understood this weird, self-defeating obsession w/ markets in NBA culture. Pundits, podcasters & players obsess about it like no other pro league. Should the Chiefs just move out of KC?

Raheem Palmer@iamrahstradamus

Everything in the NBA is obsessed with big markets to the point where it feels like people only want teams in NY, LA, Miami & Houston. Oakland lost their team to San Francisco and the soul was completely sucked out of the Warriors’ home arena. Maybe, just maybe, having teams in some of those smaller markets where the real fans aren’t priced out is good for the league.

Does Congress not get a say in a policy shift as tectonic as this one?! Where is Congress?! How the hell does this or any president have the right to destroy a military alliance of many decades, based on his personal decision?

@jennfrey Hopefully. The difference may be that AI actually destroys institutions instead of cheapening them.

At the same time many in higher ed are shamed for being Luddites and not finding ways to adapt to AI, there is some evidence of de-teching in secondary ed. By no means the majority view, but enough school districts are banning phones/restricting devices to merit our attention.
