@continetti @UTLAUncensored @natmalkus @AEIeducation @AEI My son in 7th grade was talking about “ context clues “ for reading, I asked why not look at the dictionary, but the school was teaching that. So I asked the meaning of the word, and he used context clues and the meaning was incorrect, multiple times

“I cannot be more emphatic: This is an enormous problem that’s not getting enough attention,” said @natmalkus, a senior fellow @AEIeducation @AEI.

@ryanburge Is that because people’s internal definition of pro-life/pro-choice changed?
English
The number of cross pressured voters on abortion plummeted in the last 3 election cycles.
Pro-Choice voters went from D+40 to D+58 between 2016 and 2024.
Pro-Life voters went from R+49 to R+80 between 2016 and 2024.

@ryanburge I wish this was people affiliated members who also attended 3+ services a month. It would also help to have anon-denomination graph.
English
This graph gives you the general trajectory of a dozen Protestant denominations over the last couple of decades.
Note that the scale of each graph is different because these denominations are widely different in size.
Ex: For every 1 ACNA there are 100 Southern Baptists.

@WmWeedon Love confirmation having no set age! Chanting > speaking (it’s also a good way to help kids participate). The higher focus should be on retaining the beauty and purpose of the divine service rather than trying to hit an hour time limit.
English
If I were a new pastor…I’d ask elders to switch to 1 year lectionary; pretty much stick to DS 3; nudge toward weekly eucharist being norm; patiently begin teaching the AC in Adult Bible Class or my elders; ask for a policy that all music in funerals and weddings be from LSB,

@kalezelden Sadly I doubt it. University is about establishing status. As long as Ivy grads hire Ivy grads first the system will continue.
English
I definitely wonder

every major university is about to look like Blockbuster

@michaelmalice How crazy was her mother to think she’d been kidnapped like the Lindbergh baby?!
Lindbergh was famous, her parents were not.

The new Patti Smith memoir reads like Granpa Simpson

@MetzUAC1530 Studies like these are usually just by religious self-identification. They should limit the respondents to those who attend more than once a month to get a more accurate view.

It’s weird how the LCMS’ lowest Republican voting year and the ELCA’s highest were both in 2016. Also, the mainlines are so evenly split.
Ryan Burge 📊@ryanburge
The Presbyterian Church in America used to be 60-65% Republican. In 2024, it jumped to 72% for Trump. But Trump's biggest supporters? Assemblies of God. Here are how 22 denominations have voted across the last 5 election cycles.

@PastorBenMeyer Short term $ gains rather than maintaining a long term fan base…

@WmWeedon @_SextonRay I wish the synod would change their stance and push younger communion.
English
@_SextonRay It is RIDICULOUS. Look up in the Triglotta the words of Bugenhagen introducing the Danish translation of the SC. “That, after this confession is made, also the little children of about 8 years OR LESS should be admitted to the table of Him who said: Suffer the children…” p. 82

Why is there so many Lutherans that are against early communion?😞 (ages; 10-14).

I found my old inhaler, took mucinex, ibuprofen, and two mugs of hot peppermint honey tea- made it through pretty well. Thank you for the sympathy y’all! Two more to go....
Loved our set list:

Abide With Me

Sooo... I have three Holy Week services to sing and bronchitis. No beunno.

In anticipation of Maundy Thursday:
What’s your favorite Communion hymn?

A brilliant idea that I wholeheartedly support.

I want Trump to change ICE to NICE (National Immigration and Customs Enforcement) so the media has to say NICE agents all day everyday

@kalezelden @GrimGriz Sports are a great opportunity for kids to learn to push themselves and you can choose not to crazy with it.
English
@GrimGriz It still grants us opportunities to witness human greatness, despite the decadence. That’s my guess.

@lymanstoneky Being so close to your neighbor you never want to open your blinds because they can watch everything you’re doing is not a good thing.

Easy to solve! Reduce minimum lot sizes, waive rules on lot subdivision, you can get SFH neighborhoods denser than 90% of US neighborhoods without adding any new land.
Geoff Graham@ggraham
If because 80% of Americans say they'd like to live in a single family house, we should therefore build more SF homes, then what should we do about even higher percentages wanting wilderness preserved, farmland continuing to be farmed, and housing to become more affordable?
English
The interesting thing is it cites to an article and there’s absolutely no discussion of what she actually did. There are conclusions and allegations but zero in the story about the actual facts of the cases. What did she do wrong?
Now, I have a feeling I would probably agree with the decision since it seems to be the Republican majority pushing this, but I have zero idea what the actual wrongdoing was from this article. Why can’t reporters do basic things like explain the facts of the story?
Again, not a hit on the legislature. This is a hit on the reporters. This is a terrible story. It doesn’t tell the reader anything other than raw conclusions.
Kentucky Girl@Notwokenow
In a rare move, the KY House voted to impeach a sitting judge for abuse of power, and defying binding precedents, defying Kentucky statutes, and interfering with the rights and powers of the grand jury, trial jurors and attorneys to perform their roles. The vote came after a citizen petition was filed against Judge Julie Goodman. lex18.com/news/kentucky-…

@BMcGrewvy @JoshDaws Why doesn’t he just have AI turn his outlines into drafts?
English
@JoshDaws I didn't know this, but now that I do I don't in fact really regard them as his books and intend not to read them. Thanks for the heads up!
English
James Patterson is one of the biggest selling authors of all time. He’s had over 100 NYT bestsellers and cranks out 10-15 books a year. He pretty much admitted he writes an outline and has assistants write a draft which he polishes. Nobody questions if those are really his books. So explain to me why using AI the same way is cheating. telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/…

@sincead33 But in the Kingdom all are known: “We shall know fully, as we have been fully known.”

Do any commentators speculate on how the apostles knew it was Moses and Elijah talking to Jesus at the Transfiguration? Internal illumination?
