Questions for the 35+ ish crowd: what are some games or toys you played with that you don’t see much of anymore? I was looking for something today and saw a kite! I haven’t seen, heard about, or remembered those existed in years. Is it just me or are there things you don’t see?

Ludwig Wittgenstein abandoned a vast family fortune, worked as a village schoolteacher, a gardener, and an architect, and spent much of his life in intense solitude, torn between philosophy and silence. He published little in his lifetime, believed most philosophical problems were misunderstandings of language, and died in 1951, reportedly at peace. His last words were: "Tell them I’ve had a wonderful life." Good night

@LukaVetti On X that’s very true. Which is my point. It depends what you mean by “people,” though. We all know millions of bots exists. This is why.

@JHolmsted Definitely ain't it. Plus it makes one wonder, what's a virgin's definition of promiscuous? 5 men? Whereas people posting in X probably put her in triple digits...

Trevor Sheatz@TrevorSheatz

My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin. She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc. We got to know each other well for over a year, dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and didn't sin sexually with one another. Our first kiss with each other was at the altar on our wedding day (reaction pic attached!). We've been married for over five years now, and she's been the most wonderful and godly wife, mother to our three children, and homemaker you could imagine. She's more pure than most virgins, as biblical purity has less to with past sins (though they certainly matter) and more to do with one's current posture of the heart and daily decisions to honor the Lord (Matt. 5:8). We're far too quick to forget the story of the woman labeled as a known "sinner" (likely a prostitute) in Luke 7:36-50 who was washing Jesus' feet with her tears while kissing them too. The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus let a public sinner do this. Jesus responded with a parable about debts being forgiven and ended with this powerful conclusion: "Her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little" (Luke 7:47). Everyone seems to highlight the benefits of virginity, and it certainly is a blessing. But we forget to highlight the benefits of being forgiven much as well. My wife knows the depths of Jesus' forgiveness more than most people, enabling her to more easily live out a life of passionate love for her Savior. A woman or man's past sexual sin matters. But what matters far more when it comes to deciding who to marry is if the person is truly born again, if their repentance is real, if they truly have a heart for Christ, if they truly follow Jesus and obey his commands. "God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world ​— ​what is viewed as nothing ​— ​to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us ​— ​our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, — in order that, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'" (1 Cor. 1:27-31) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (2 Cor. 5:17)

@katrosenfield The Lindy West that wrote for Jezebel probably wrote critical columns about 'Sister Wives' and then became one.

This quote from a longer blog post, featuring a few final thoughts about Lindy West as both a product of and participant in the vicious classism of coastal liberal spaces during the Obama era

Apt @katrosenfield observation: "Some people will gravitate like moths to the flame of whatever ideology gives them cover to indulge in socially sanctioned cruelty under the auspices of moral correctness, and it will never matter very much to them what that ideology is."

Fitzpatrick snitched on his playing partner for slow play and is rightly being applauded. Let’s take this a step further. Taking 3 minutes to take a normal approach shot isn’t just slow. It’s cheating. It should be an immediate penalty. You are NOT supposed to be able to account for all variables. You are NOT supposed to be able to make infinite calculations or wait for the perfect amount of wind. You are NOT supposed to be able to wait until you are 100% comfortable in the shot. What Fitz did is awesome, but it should be normal. They don’t need to race, but at some point they need to be able to hit a golf shot in a reasonable amount of time. That should be a base requirement for being a golfer at any level, much less a pro.
GOLF.com@GOLF_com

“He is a little perturbed with his playing partner’s pace of play. It is glacial, to be kind.” John Wood on Matt Fitzpatrick, who is currently tied for the lead and playing with Adrien Dumont de Chassart. After Brad Faxon followed up, Wood said Fitzpatrick hit his approach on the 11th first, even though he was closer, and walked up to the green, where he waited about 3 min before Dumont de Chassart hit his approach. Rules official Orlando Pope said that Fitzpatrick talked to an official, and they have decided to give Dumont de Chassart an official warning after timing him unofficially since Fitzpatrick’s request.

@helenlewis West has said an awful lot of rubbish over the years, as this article rightfully says so but the glee/snark that the hard-right media (of which you're a fully paid up member of now) is attacking her with is very distasteful to see.

I’ve written about the backlash to Adult Braces: “I do feel great sympathy for Lindy West. How was she to know that the great omertà of Millennial Feminism—that we had to take whatever people said about their life stories at face value—had broken?”

The structure of the Wentz contract suggests the front office views him as a high-end backup who is essential to the room's stability, rather than just a camp body or a "break glass in case of emergency" QB3 He’s essentially a lock to make the 53-man roster if he stays healthy
Sean Borman@SeanBormanNFL

Carson Wentz 1-year contract with the #Vikings: • $1.545M base salary (fully guaranteed) • $1.1M signing bonus • $100K workout bonus • $255K per game roster bonus • $3M in cash paid • $200K other bonus 2026 cap hit: $3.05M 💲Info per OTC

Reprise #3 the road from Wilsall, MT 86, approaching the east side of the Bridgers. I must’ve been out driving a lot that month. A lot of road driving means either i am psychologically untethered or deeply calm and at peace. I don’t remember the occasion here.
