This is literally the thesis of my dissertation if anyone is curious.

“I don’t know anything about chess except the Queen can do whatever she wants.” If you know my wife @alliereidsmith you can appreciate how on-brand this is.

Elio was very good. People should watch it. @Pixar

I’m a Middle Earth creationist.

Just heard the new T Swift Ophelia song and it just sounds like an AI heard Lana Del Rey’s “Summertime Sadness” and Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” and said, “I’ll take it from here.”

Every Frankenstein movie or costume you ever saw was a lie. The Creature was a philosopher and carried guns. This has been a literary PSA.

"With what friend concerning your death Is it worth while to exchange thoughts unless—oh unless it were you?"

"What the idea of death has done to him is nothing to what he has done to the idea of death.” - C.S. Lewis eulogizing Charles Williams.

@pauljpastor A poet friend of mine explores this well: jameseallmanjr.wordpress.com//?s=cleave&sea…

“Cleave” is such an interesting word in English—it is difficult for me to think of another example of a word that properly means both one thing (to chop apart) and its exact opposite (to join together).

@annielcrawford That book messed me up for weeks. Now it’s a bedrock of my understanding.

Coming up this week, a favorite topic to teach: The Scientific Revolution! Saving the Appearances, here we come.

Kronos is quantitative and has the minute. He beats a rhythm and sets the meter. Kairos is qualitative and has the moment. She decorates and orchestrates the theatre. Humanity is counting on these. But she is more lovely than he.

Bad news guys, the Saducees are back and they’re making movies now.

10year old - “It’s like that Ants Canada video” Me - “What’s that now?” 10yo- “Dad, that’s like not knowing what Coyote Peterson is.” Yes, I suppose it is.

@ScottSealy That is cold blooded and I feel it on a personal level.

@DrAustinFreeman I see the Jar Jar Binks drunken kung fu debate is still raging.

Plato, Ion. Those guys that perform Homer really receive their talent from the gods and don't actually know what they're doing.

@ZachBowders But whence do the oils derive said essence?

@yeshuasmith I'm an essential oils man and you damn well know it

Fever thoughts: I Wonder the fewest lines you can draw an animal with? Wife: Those are called 'constellations'

@CASISPEAR With a noise machine and an eye pillow on a Tempur-pedic.

At a Mexican restaurant and the water tastes like it’s fresh from the hose. That’s some bespoke redneck gourmet there.

@ZachBowders You see the interview where he said he really likes this new version of fans who only know him from the show Shrinking because they don't ask him to take a picture or sign anything. They just say "I like that thing you're doing" and walk away.

You heard me Is Harrison Ford out of Star Wars money that he keeps making movies he hates as an 82 year old?
