To be honest I got so angry with the preface to the first Oz book as a youngster that I have boycotted it ever since. Am I missing anything?

Disregard Wicked. Retvrn to Oz.

@EmmaRSotomayor I've never been this sad from an X poll result 🍠

What is everyone’s favorite Thanksgiving pie?
I’m partial to Kentucky pecan, myself, though I’ve never made it with the required bourbon, just the chocolate chips.
English
@Andrewnsnyder It's probably okay. Even if you get in trouble, you'll get pardoned for it early next year.
English
Are we legally allowed to say “Merry Christmas” now or do we have to wait until next year?
English
@Andrewnsnyder How often do you use that grill? It looks shocked to see you!
English
@dyingempires @Andrewnsnyder Recorded history is commonly accepted to include 3,000+ years of BCE, so my original statement still holds true when only including recorded history. You can appeal to the amount that is recorded in an era, if you want.
English
@Joshisanalias @Andrewnsnyder Completely untrue since 'history' in any meaningful sense is recorded history.
English
For inter-religious and philosophical purposes, I am willing to accept this as something like “Before Christian Era/After Christian Era.”
That still is not entirely clear, but at least it means something on historical grounds.
“Common Era” is just an empty movement of language.
Andrew Snyder@Andrewnsnyder
“BCE/CE” is just silly. We all know what separates the times.

@The_Kyle_Mann I notice that it's mostly correct. Rogue One is a bad movie. You have a character go from the loss of her father by the hands of the rebels and saying they're just as bad as the empire to the next scene her giving a inspirational speech to rally the rebels. No development at all
English
What do you notice about this post that's seeking engagement?
Kyle Mann@The_Kyle_Mann
Gotta get that X revenue up again, so here goes: Rogue One is a bad movie, and it's barely a Star Wars movie. It has no memorable characters, it's boring as heck, and it doen't even tie into A New Hope properly, which was its ONE. JOB.

@emmma_camp_ Solid Ticket To Ride play there. Well done. I'm working on the Calgary to Dallas path now.
English
I genuinely do not understand why anyone would take this route.
Flying is literally 15 times shorter and like 5 times cheaper (unless you want to spend 47 hours in Amtrak coach.)

Today, we’re proud to announce the launch of the Floridian! This train combines two iconic routes — the Capitol Limited and Silver Star — and will offer traditional dining throughout the full journey.

@thehonestlypod @TheFP @RandPaul But SOMETHING must be done to stop corporations from taking American jobs and manufacturing out of the US, as well as weaken China. Tariffs are one way to accomplish that...
I typically like @RandPaul, but he's missing the mark here.
English
Sen. @RandPaul on why tariffs and economic isolationism are popular—despite being bad policy.

@Andrewnsnyder Everytime I see something about this season, I feel more validated in my decision to just not watch it. While I'm sure it can be fun if you just pretend it's a new fantasy series and not Tolkien-based, but I doubt even in that case it's particularly good TV.
English
This was not good.
The Stranger has to be Gandalf. Otherwise, the Istari arc will make even less sense.
They are presenting Gandalf as an ignorant apprentice gaining his wisdom from Jedi Master Tom Bombadil rather than as the ancient Maia Olórin taught by the Vala Nienna.

@EmmaRSotomayor That can absolutely be a danger in theology. It's all about puting everything in its right place. If it's not bringing us closer to God or not helping us serve others, either what we have is bad or we've misplaced it in our hierarchy of values.
English
@Joshisanalias Ha ha, possibly. To be frank, theology is great to learn but I find it is easy to get obsessed more with theology than God Himself. It’s a useful tool but I’ve also seen people use it as a bludgeon or a source of pride. I certainly fell prey to that temptation before.
English
So true. Christians oughta be pursuing academic excellence. God gave us minds—we should constantly seek to improve them and learn!

@EmmaRSotomayor Good luck with getting the guys to pick up on those social cues... With the raising rates of autism and all. Dang vaccines.
@CommunityNotes this is a joke. I am not necessarily saying vaccines are linked to autism, so don't community note me. Thanks.
English
@Joshisanalias I’m just wary of them. Seen too much. Friends I had who would reject guys over the pettiest stuff. Plus I’d rather tough it out in the in-person realm where I have to drop social cues and hope the guy has the guts to ask me out. That’s a funny story you have now, at least!
English
Yes, I do normal people things every now and then.
And yes, my husband is very happy right now.
English
@Andrewnsnyder Hope you get well soon! And remember next time you get sick, don't let it be with a political virus. The flu or a cold would be much more traditional.
English
Okay, it’s one thing to say that covid has been over-hyped.
People who say it literally does not exist are just silly.
Andrew Snyder@Andrewnsnyder
Correction: Covid

@EmmaRSotomayor This part of that essay has struck so much embarrassment in me at times. I'm so quick to muck about with such trivial things instead of seeking God in the moment. This is probably my favorite of your quotes so far this month.
English
I love this essay so much. It really inspires so much joy in me at the thought of meeting God face-to-face!
English
@EmmaRSotomayor @DavidAFrench I at least appreciate the lack of nudity.
English
@DavidAFrench I don’t care for RoP but I agree with this statement lol.
English
This is 100 percent the correct take.

The Rings of Power is better than House of the Dragon.
English
@EmmaRSotomayor That was actually the first non-fiction Lewis book I read. It's a great one.
