I’m getting a lot of hate for this reel. What do you think? (P.S.: if you say “but we have evidence for dads I believe you have missed the point.)

@adammabry In that case you want Rebel Yell, the biography of Stonewall Jackson as you’ll be driving through his hometown and battlegrounds.

@caesararum This is the content I’m on X for. Are you safer living next to a nuclear plant than eating 1000 bananas? Or flying cross country repeatedly?

since ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) has been gamed into making nuclear (often) prohibitively expensive, I propose a new nuclear safety standard One Tenth Of Coal nuclear reactors have to produce less than one tenth the radiation than coal plants

Christian men who major on leading the home, but who miss out on the warm relationship with their kids, are missing the best opportunity to get their kids to Jesus.
Nancy Pearcey@NancyRPearcey

An award-winning 35-year longitudinal study asked how parents succeed in passing on their religious convictions. The study found two surprising results: First, “having a close bond with one’s father matters even more than a close relationship with one’s mother.” In other words, fathers wield influence, whether they want to or not. Second, the relationship with the father must be warm and close. A father can be a leader of the community, a pillar of the church, a moral exemplar, but if he is perceived as cold and distant, the child will not follow him, will not adopt his spiritual and religious convictions. Here's the study:

Everyone assumes this picture of Buttigieg is him eating a chicken wing, and that's because he's biting in a way to engage his "rip-the-flesh-from-the-bone" front teeth, so we fill in "chicken wing" to make it make sense. But what he is actually eating is a small piece of a cinnamon roll, and our brains just can't comprehend biting into a small piece of dough that way. It's like an alien took over a human body and is unfamiliar with the subtleties of how it works.

@bostonherald Our societies suffer from the inability to exile someone. When they’ve declared through their actions that they aren’t fit for our city, we need a place to send them. Australia?

@NeilShenvi @JennMGreenberg I know this wasn’t your point, but it has relevance to the origin of worship songs. Should artists beliefs (or lack) affect its use? And the natural follow up is about AI generated worship music…

@JennMGreenberg Pick your preferred beautiful painting! But this line of reasoning is relevant to whether AI can create art/beauty.

A series of (Gettier) art problems. Pick a beautiful artwork, like Rembrandt's Return of the Prodigal Son. 1. Is the painting itself objectively beautiful? 2. What if you discovered that Rembrandt was a secret atheist who intended to mock the parable with his painting? 3. What if Rembrandt created the painting by splashing paint randomly on a canvas, so that he did not intend the final result to look as it did? 4. What if Rembrandt thought the randomly generated painting succeeded in mocking the parable? 5. What if, after Rembrandt had created his painting, his Christian assistant had accidentially detroyed it and then copied the original perfectly in order to honor the parable, not knowing Rembrant's actual beliefs? 6. What if the assistant's rival, an atheist who knew Rembrandt's actual beliefs, saw what happened, destroyed the Christian's copy, and then reproduced it perfectly, thinking that Rembrandt's original successfully mocked the parable?

Needing to plead your case before a neighborhood council just to add a bathroom for your family of 5, so your potty-training kid doesn’t have to use the back porch, isn’t “community input.” It’s a flashing red light that the system is completely broken.

Detainer requests serve the specific function of removing dangerous people from our city. You don’t have to love ICE to understand ignoring requests leads to more innocent victims.
Libs of TikTok@libsoftiktok

Boston City Council just voted 9-4 to HIDE whether the ICE detainers they ignored involved illegals charged with crimes. Their reason? They didn't want to give “oxygen” to a “false narrative.” Boston Police IGNORED ALL 57 detainer requests last year. Every. Single. One.

@atlanticesque Right. “I can change him” is not a female urge but a socialist urge. Change the material conditions, change the man. But young women have often been on board with the socialist program. Gulag Archipelago, etc. And now they have power.

My big objection to this is that the period in American history in which we were *softest* on criminals was the 1970s. You know, when a convicted murderer in California could expect spend fewer than 7 years in prison. And there were *very* few women judges or prosecutors then.

@atlanticesque Anecdotally… Groups of men leading a church = “let’s grow this organization” Groups of women leading a church = “let’s care for these people” They need each other, but depending on which group gets priority, churches either thrive or die.

I'm not strictly opposed to women's ordination theologically, but I once heard a persuasive argument as to why women's ordination was so destructive to the Mainline: Being a pastor stopped being a full-time profession, and instead became something for the wives of professionals
