Per AI, @CaringThinkr is a precision-driven thinker whose core orientation is to align: -truth & language -analysis & action -private conviction & public argument Think Stevie Wonder's moral clarity, Jimmy Carter's faith-driven realism, Barbara Jordan's verbal precision. 1/10

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Former U.S. President, Barack Obama: “We cannot launch military operations to get out of an ideological or technological problem. History has taught us that conflicts in the Middle East are easy to start, but almost impossible to end in an orderly way. We must recognize that peace is not built on rubble, but on a regional architecture that provides stability. We must choose between difficult and persistent diplomacy, or a perpetual regional war that has no winners, only victims.”

@covie_93 In 2016 and especially 2015, some Evangelical pastors were anti-Trump due to his long-term lifestyle and attitude. Once he won the GOP ticket, they mostly quieted. Many remain one-issue (abortion) voters. Of the nose-holding Trump voters, most got used to the stench.

@Ethereals68 If Texas goes red in 2028, I'll be disappointed, but happy we got overruled. Texas is hurting in so many ways, and the Republicans own it 100%. We are at 50th or very close on many metrics. Any Texan who isn't feeling that is oblivious to their fellow man, and fortunate.

@queenie4rmnola "Schools don't teach the history of slavery." A version of slavery is being taught in the South. But it's sanitized. Texts minimize the violence, hate and utter injustice. Teachers say they're pressured to teach "both sides." As if there is another side to injustice!😡

Down South, you can easily find White people flying the Confederate flag, but many of our schools don't teach the history of slavery.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

@petek_78 @Freetoplaynow @LakotaMan1 @grok "The idea ... that 'Jesus Christ' was a purely mythical figure ... is not taken seriously by anyone but a tiny handful ..." -atheist Tim O'Neill Among historians of all convictions (e.g., atheists), who have carefully considered it for 250 years, the consensus is overwhelming.

@RegularTxGuy @LakotaMan1 I agree. It's interesting to imagine what He looked like, for me, and perhaps even slightly useful in terms of reading the Gospels with interest, but what Jesus looked like or what He wore is the least important thing about Him. It's the message, not His form.

@LakotaMan1 If you care more about what he looked like than how he lived, what he taught and the fact that he died for our sins and rose to pave the way towards eternal life than you opinion on the matter is less than irrelevant.

@LakotaMan1 @Dawn_Becker55 This is probably more accurate: Hair and beard length, face height vs overall height 5' to 5'2", UV damage to skin, skin color of 1st century Galiliean Jew, undyed tunic (although it could have been deep brown or black and not off-white). But even this makes him seem too tall.

@amateur_market @CaringThinkr @1ba_sina @AzPetrich The fish (Ichthys), anchor and Christogram (Chi-Rho) were often used to denote Christian burials and predate Constantine the Great though they were popularized on military shields by Constantine. We can see them in Roman catacombs and on marble tomb coverings.

@ennui365 He didn't say this, precisely, or at least it can't be found. What he actually said in 1995 was: "One trend that bothers me is the glorification of stupidity, that the media is reassuring people it’s all right not to know anything."

@theblockspot Agreed. Longhorns Nation backs Book completely. Sports betting is why some of these non-Longhorns are angry. Lack of empathy and honor is how they can be so disrespectful. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

WOULD THE WHITE HOUSE TELL US? If Trump suffered a stroke, or had another major health issue, do you believe the White House would tell the American people? Your Thoughts?

In a global first, stingless bees native to the Peruvian Amazon have been recognized as the world's inaugural insects to receive legal rights, thanks to groundbreaking ordinances in the municipalities of Satipo and Nauta. These local laws designate the bees as rights-bearing entities, affirming their entitlements to exist, reproduce, maintain healthy populations, and inhabit pollution-free ecosystems. This innovative step extends the "rights of nature" framework—previously applied to rivers and forests—to insects, closing a longstanding policy void in Peru where only introduced European honeybees enjoyed formal protections and associated resources. The ordinances arise amid escalating dangers to these vital pollinators, including deforestation, pesticide contamination, climate shifts, and rivalry from invasive Africanized honeybees, which have triggered steep population drops. Research spearheaded by chemical biologist Dr. Rosa Vásquez Espinoza, founder of Amazon Research Internacional, in close collaboration with Indigenous communities like the Asháninka, has illuminated the bees' indispensable contributions: pollinating over 80% of Amazonian plants (vital for crops such as cacao, coffee, and avocados) and yielding honey rich in compounds offering anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antioxidant, and potential anti-cancer benefits. Indigenous reports of vanishing colonies, corroborated by evidence of pesticides in remote honey samples, fueled the push for these reforms—building on a 2024 national law recognizing stingless bees as species of interest. Advocates anticipate the measures will drive habitat recovery, tougher pesticide controls, and increased funding for studies, potentially inspiring similar pollinator safeguards worldwide.

The debate over James Talarico calling God "nonbinary" is silly because it shouldn't be a debate. It is scripturally true. God is everything. God is everyone. God is every gender. Case closed. But we get into this ridiculous convo because conservatives find it Very Important to describe God as masculine. More importantly, they demand God be described as a man. Several years ago, I did a segment on MSNBC and referred to God with "she/her" pronouns. I wasn't being political with that. I really wasn't. That's just how I refer to God, and it is scripturally sound even if conservatives swear it isn't. So, this rightwing reporter reaches out to me on LinkedIn because he watched the segment, and he was quite upset with me for using she/her pronouns in reference to God. I asked him: "What is your scientific argument that God is male? Do we know anything about his anatomy?" He responds: "No, of course not. It's because God is referred to as 'he' and 'him' all throughout Scripture." And I said: "So, let me get this straight: you have no scientific evidence that God is male, no descriptions of God's anatomy that would support that claim, but because God identifies as male and uses he/him pronouns, you respect and honor that. What does that sound like to you?" And he started typing and then he stopped typing and then he blocked me. These folks are loons and we should call them loons and we should challenge them on Scripture and we shouldn't back down from that conversation. So, yeah, I think James Talarico is spot-on and I give thanks to God, in all Her wisdom, that She inspires him to speak the truth.

@dixontroy @cmclymer Jesus said, The Father and I are one (Jn 10:30). In the timeless Christ, sex/gender is transcended: Gal 3:28, Col 3:11. God is Spirit (Jn 4:24). Gendering God is heresy. Augustine: "If you have understood, then what you have understood is not God." 3/3

@dixontroy @cmclymer You think Hebrew grammar reveals divine nature. So take note of feminine words for divine nature: Spirit (Gen 1:2, Ez 37), Wisdom (Prov 1:20, 8, 9), Righteousness (Ps 36:6, Is 51:6,8), Faithfulness (Lam 3:23, Ps 89:1-2), Truth (Ex 34:6, Ps 25:5). 2/3
