@bencouraging The board has similar looking game play to the vintage Parker Bros. Game of the Fox and Hounds, which I grew up playing, but I have never seen this version.

@miamiboggs @walterkirn The colors and patterns of the salt pans next to the Great Salt Lake were an unexpected visual treat!

Once again I find that I'm among the five or six people on a packed plane who care to look out the window at views unavailable to humankind for almost all of our history on earth

"I'm half a human now." A survivor of the U.S. torture at Abu Ghraib lives with what happened to him. He describes the shame and pain he lives with. This is the legacy of the Iraq war. A painful and necessary listen from @Rsherlock npr.org/2023/03/21/116…

@LeilaFadel @Rsherlock Ruth, I heard your piece on Abu Ghraib as well. Do you know of an organization that I can donate to and help give back to those that were treated so wrongly at Guantanamo Bay? While not an apology from our government, an apology from an American citizen. @Rsherlock

As a teacher I’m of the opinion that if ballistic shelters start to make sense something is deeply deeply wrong

I'm pretty sure the "road not taken" outlined in this article is the one Jesus described as "narrow." cnn.com/2023/03/05/us/…

@sheilagregoire 1. Did they not really read the book in its entirety and endorsed it out of obligation/favor/publicity? 2. Did they read and agree with it, but now don’t want to be associated with it because of the outcry?

@sheilagregoire Since the article is an excerpt from the the book, I’m left with two questions about the endorsers’ retractions:

Sheila Gregoire--She Deserves Better is here!
It appears that Multnomah and TGC are doubling down on their support for Josh Butler's book Beautiful Union, both websites this morning asking us to read the full chapter. At Multnomah, it's the first thing you see: (The horrible TGC sex article was excerpted from this book).

@kevinmnye1 Reading it now with a group of moms from my church. Our discussions have been so good and challenging! We are also going through Subversive Witness as a church, too, and I will recommend everyone read them together. Thank you for writing such an important book.

@DavidAFrench My voting heuristic: Do you seem to be a decent human being. If so, then policies matter. If not, even if we agree on policies, forget about it When we elect people who don't meet a low bar of basic human decency, we send the message that it does not matter. That hurts society

Alabama tried and failed to execute Alan Miller by lethal injection on September 22nd. Prison workers stabbed him with needles over and over again for 90 minutes. Now Alabama wants another chance to kill Alan "as soon as possible." theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

The death penalty is less about those we condemn and more about our society. What does this horrible botched execution attempt say about us? Did this make Alabama any safer? Did it heal the victims' families? Did it deter any future crime? Or was it just barbaric torture?

@taylorsschumann Our dog would eat the meat and spit out the pill. We’ve had success w/ spray cheese in the can or pill pockets which are a little less messy, but more expensive. You can also get Zukes treats and just squish a few around a pill which is cheaper than pill pockets.

@grahamstinson Agreed! I studied a lot of the American eugenics stuff last year when I was teaching American History, but wish I would have had this documentary that ties it all together so well. Ken Burns is a gift.

Watching US and the Holocaust. I think every American needs to watch this documentary - the parallels with current (white) Christian Nationalist culture are mind blowing.

@profsamperry We don’t live in a destination city either and my husband always says to people, “if you break down on the side of the road while your passing through, give us a call!”

@SteveSchmidtSES @nytimes I genuinely believe that elected and public officials should be barred from writing books for profit, and it should be a common practice among media outlets that journalists who write books like that in lieu of doing their job of reporting it first & immediately should be canned.

@kevinmnye1 There was a great article in the New Yorker a month or two ago about corruption in the LASD. It was the first I had heard of it and it was horrifying.

@johngreen Was the big drop in the 1960s due to LBJ’s Great Society policies or were there other factors at play?

@RickSteves Used this for a 8th graders as a lead up to our WWII unit and it was great. I’m always shocked at the number of adults that don’t know the difference between fascism and communism, so I wanted that to be a main part of the unit.

I produced my 2018 "Fascism in Europe" special as a patriotic duty, for a country that is a part of who I am. My hope: that America would recognize fascism when it knocked at our door. Try watching just five minutes... ricksteves.com/fascism
