@BenSasse Dude @author_sullivan literally made this a minor storyline in one of his fantasy novels.

pockets are a great invention

@Ferndiggity I was so bummed when I saw that. 😭

This is what the new National Park passes look like. If you try to place a sticker over Trump’s image, the card is void.

Doing some grading today for a course at Calvin seminary. One of my students has boldly condemned the theology of the “Pelagians and Sicilians”, and I, for one, am glad that someone is finally putting Sicily in its place.

Yes. This shouldn’t be controversial.

Threatening to wipe out a civilization is genocidal and evil.

In the light of #Easter, let us allow ourselves to be amazed by Christ! Let us allow our hearts to be transformed by his immense love for us! Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!

“Now begins the Easter laughter.” Happy Resurrection Day everyone!

there are folks who are spiritual but not religious... gotta be honest, tho, I'm more concerned by the ones who are religious but not spiritual

@jasonkovacs @JRRTolkien It’s such a gem.

Read @JRRTolkien's short story 'Leaf by Niggle' for the first time today. I have so many questions and thoughts.

FYI: Refugees are a different category from illegal aliens. Refugees came here legally after fleeing terror or religious persecution. The government still must be prudent about how many it allows, how well they are vetted, etc. But it's important to know the difference.

There is no right to interrupt a church service to protest. You are violating the rights of your fellow citizens when you do. It's inexcusable, and vital for MN authorities to protect the right of people to peacefully worship.

Here's the latest @nytimes analysis of all videos of the Renee Good shooting. A millisecond by millisecond breakdown makes clear the White House version is completely false: The ICE agent was not run over, and Good was driving away when she was killed. nytimes.com/2026/01/15/vid…

@SHoddeMiller This is a good word, Sharon. @threadreaderapp could you unroll this please?

It has never been easier to divest ourselves of partisan allegiances. These leaders will absolutely betray you. But Jesus never will.

A few thoughts tonight: There is a LOT happening in our country and in the world right now. Between the flood of events, the relentlessness of the urgent, the bias of the algorithm, & the wildcard of AI in the mix, I am taking more and more time to listen, to think, and to pray.

@brannonmc Agreed. Honestly, I wasn’t crazy about the last three films. They were fine, but IMO they didn’t reach the level of iconic like the LOTR films did. And folks, if you’re worried about not honoring with the source material, Prince Caspian and Dawn Treader already plowed that field.

Apparently an unpopular opinion in some circles: We need to just wait and give Greta Gerwig a chance to make an awesome movie of The Magician’s Nephew and not assume we know what she’s up to.

This piece is so morally clearheaded that it gave me a chill. nytimes.com/2025/12/05/opi…

@Garrett_Lee Could have been an email!

I was reading GoodReads reviews of You Are Not Your Own and Disruptive Witness (I know, terrible idea), and two different people said of those books that they were meetings that should have been emails.

Some people just like to be mad about stuff done by other people all the time Ignore those people
