Sportsmanship: TCU's Brock Harding begins to celebrate his team's win, but stops the instant he sees Ohio State's Bruce Thornton to love him up. Great job by that young man! He sets an excellent example for the millions of kids watching at home. 📽️: @CBSSports

With a few exceptions, southern Presbyterian ministers had a less comprehensive understanding of their region's socio-moral conditions than their northern counterparts had about theirs. Thats an important piece to understanding how the former thought about slavery.

The entire timeline's fighting over barbecue. I haven't weighed in. But my students have told me that they are using what they learned in class to go and fight the war. I am building soldiers.

@XsUNObserver A lot of the YRR guys moved in to the PCA and RUF. They sorta felt low rent to me. I know thats harsh. Not a character judgement.

@IVMiles I feel like YRR guys came maybe more out of the Reformed Baptist world? Influence of MacArthur Study Bible in late 90’s and John Piper in Early 00’s? The PCA and RUF were from a generation or so prior. Would you call Indelible Grace YRR?

Hereditary peers are still members of the legislature. Is it really appropriate for the Cabinet Office to use Civil Service social media to attack the legitimacy of sitting lawmakers?
Cabinet Office@cabinetofficeuk

This is the biggest reform to our Parliament in a generation. 🇬🇧 This morning, the 700-year-old system of hereditary membership in the House of Lords was abolished. Membership is now earned through public service and merit, not granted by an inheritance. ✅

Talked about this with the students today and one kid said he thinks there's a dichotomy emerging between a "Sunbelt" BBQ and "Southern" BBQ that roughly maps onto the split between urban and rural Souths. I think that tracks in a real way.
WMJS@booksandbbq

Prepping to talk about Georgia bbq in class today and I have come across an oral history of a now-closed place called Harold's Barbecue. It's an interesting case study in the changing South. southernfoodways.org/interview/haro…

Steve Nichols is one of my longest-term friends. My heart grieved what his family has endured. My soul gives thanks for his integrity. My voice gives thanks for how God has used him as the true successor of RC Sproul in his ability to make complex theological and philosophical ideas accessible to laypeople.

Also, if the MLB is going to simultaneously get in bed w Polymarket AND keep Pete Rose out of the hall, they deserve whatever bad thing happens to them when this blows up in their face.

It’s hard not to look at the present state of US politics and not think that the American republic is basically nothing more than a military and casino dedicated to making the rest of the world Atlantic City whether they want to be or not.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS

BREAKING: THE MLB is signing a multiyear contract with Polymarket. The deal is estimated at three years and $300 million, according to @FOS. This move comes as prediction markets are being investigated as illegal gambling operations by multiple states.
