Per AI, @CaringThinkr is a precision-driven thinker whose core orientation is to align: -truth & language -analysis & action -private conviction & public argument Think Stevie Wonder's moral clarity, Jimmy Carter's faith-driven realism, Barbara Jordan's verbal precision. 1/10

@TaliaGoodmanWBB @On3 She's tough, is an elite defender on the perimeter, has active hands (2.2 spg), has elite lateral quickness, ran track, has endurance, can run the offense and create. If she's willing, Vic Schaefer can help her turn it up a few notches. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽 Hook 'em!

BREAKING: Virginia’s Kymora Johnson has entered the transfer portal, sources told @On3. The 5-7 junior averaged 19.5 ppg, 4.5 rpg and 5.9 apg this season. TRACKER: on3.com/her/news/on3-2…

@twitbzed @BeingJWood The Oval Office is now gaudy. Tacky. Garish. Showy. Kitsch-y. It's nouveau riche level ostentation to the extreme. I'm sure Putin loves it. It's the least bad thing Trump has done, though. That's the most positive spin I can give.

@BeingJWood Trump runs on envy. He wants you to envy him. To punish him, stop envying him. Tell him you think his wife isn't a great prize. Tell him Mar-a-Lago is ugly. Tell him his new ballroom is something only a low-class person would want. Pity him. He can't take that.

Trump has given the world PTSD. What should we give him?

We don't often talk about the psychological harm of mass incarceration, but we should.

@queenie4rmnola All humans share ancestry in Africa, per DNA and paleoanthropology. So most of humanity has ancestors who migrated from there. And the Americas were populated much later, so all true Americans are immigrants themselves or descend from immigrants, including those forced here.

White people in America are descendants of colonizers and immigrants.

@BeingJWood I did so in 2015. And before, in 1999, when he first ran for President.

I question the ethics and sanity of anyone continuing to support Donald Trump. Seriously. Why?

@TerriblePic @NASA This reminds me of me. As we listen, those of us with ADHD often fiddle with things and look away, ahem, into space. It enables us to listen intently. ADHD has its benefits and challenges. I'm not trying to diagnose Astronaut Glover, ahem, from afar. He has my utmost respect.

@NASA Victor Glover playing with Rise while the rest of the crew answers questions from the press.

Make new friends, but keep the old. A new photo captures the Moon's near side on the right (the side we see from Earth, identifiable by its dark splotches) and its far side on the left. The Artemis II crew are the first to see the far side with human eyes.

@wilsonmarivasa @NASA Approx. Speeds in MPH (and relative to): Moon 2288 (Earth) Earth's equator 1037 (spin) Earth 66,600 (Sun) Sun 515,000 (Milky Way center) Sun 827,000 ("universe") Milky Way 823k to 1.3 million ("universe") All while space itself expands. "Universe" is greatly simplified.

@NASA I'm amazed that the moon does not actually stay in one location, it is moving all the time and they have to meet it somewhere on its path.

“He’s just trolling.” “He’s being sarcastic.” No… he’s conditioning you. When a man can say anything, mock everything, and you still defend it… you’ve already surrendered discernment. This isn’t about politics anymore. This is spiritual blindness. While you laugh it off, justify it, and clap like seals… the stage is being set. The Bible warned about deception… not stupidity. People won’t be forced into it… they’ll walk into it willingly. And that’s exactly what’s happening. You don’t see it because you don’t want to see it. The question is… when truth finally stands in front of you… will you even recognize it?

@DrNeilStone It's amazing how many replies miss the point. Before posting, maybe ask, -Did I fact-check myself? -Shouldn't everyone know how? -Does my point add to, refute or alter Dr. Stone's point? Does it really? Please hold me to this...

Yes it's true - the Black Death did end without a vaccine It killed 200 million people including wiping out half the population of Europe but at least they never got one of them nasty vaccines right?

@StephsMundo @Brcremer The phonemes (sounds) you utter aren't inherently good or bad. What matters is if they hurt another person. And saying OMG isn't taking God's name in vain. But using your religion to try to sanctify your hate definitely is. 2/2

@StephsMundo @Brcremer The Bible uses crude, taboo and explicit words. Translators "paper over" them. As a linguist who leans evangelical, I find their theology of 'cussing' self-serving. It's a shallow reading of Scripture that blesses only a certain linguistic register. Their own. 1/2

One of the most blatant forms of Christian hypocrisy in our time is Christians holding all ordinary people accountable to the most rigid moral standards while simultaneously holding themselves and the president accountable to no standards at all.

@_dannydavis Vic says he'll hit the portal. He trusts Preston, but he'll want a backup PG. He doesn't want Book to have to play point. Hose is young. Vic will want a veteran C for rim protection, shot altering and finishing in the paint. He may sign up to 5 players.

How Texas approaches this offseason will be fascinating. Texas almost beat UCLA so does it stay the course and make tweaks? Or does UT possibly sacrifice its future, recruit big transfers and push all its chips to the middle of the table for its generational talent’s senior year?

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Former U.S. President, Barack Obama: “We cannot launch military operations to get out of an ideological or technological problem. History has taught us that conflicts in the Middle East are easy to start, but almost impossible to end in an orderly way. We must recognize that peace is not built on rubble, but on a regional architecture that provides stability. We must choose between difficult and persistent diplomacy, or a perpetual regional war that has no winners, only victims.”

@covie_93 In 2016 and especially 2015, some Evangelical pastors were anti-Trump due to his long-term lifestyle and attitude. Once he won the GOP ticket, they mostly quieted. Many remain one-issue (abortion) voters. Of the nose-holding Trump voters, most got used to the stench.

How the hell did donald trump manage to convince Christians that he is one of them?????

@Ethereals68 If Texas goes red in 2028, I'll be disappointed, but happy we got overruled. Texas is hurting in so many ways, and the Republicans own it 100%. We are at 50th or very close on many metrics. Any Texan who isn't feeling that is oblivious to their fellow man, and fortunate.

You wake up on November 8, 2028 and see this, what is your reaction?

@queenie4rmnola "Schools don't teach the history of slavery." A version of slavery is being taught in the South. But it's sanitized. Texts minimize the violence, hate and utter injustice. Teachers say they're pressured to teach "both sides." As if there is another side to injustice!😡

Down South, you can easily find White people flying the Confederate flag, but many of our schools don't teach the history of slavery.
