On this 82nd anniversary of D-Day: "An estimated 45,418 American veterans of World War II are still alive. Out of the 16.4 million Americans who served in the conflict, less than 0.5% are still living, with their average median age now approaching 98 years old." - WW2 Museum

The Chicago Bears announced they're going to build their new stadium in Hammond, Indiana. I guess Gary wasn't available.

@OperHealAmerica "The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity." - Psalm 5:5. That's the Law of God, which condemns all sinners.
"Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." - 1 Tim 1:15. That's the Gospel.

I was surprised to learn that Anthropic and other AI companies are hiring philosophers and those with a humanities education to help develop their models. Finally, I can put my Humanities degree to work!

I often say to my wife, "I haven't seen so and so for a while. I hope they're doing OK." Sure enough, shortly after I say that I see them: sometimes I even have the opportunity to ask them how things are going.
If you ever need to find someone, just let me know.

@toddwilken @TheDonStein The benefit of residential seminary education is experiential, not only academic. I learned a lot through conversations with my professors and classmates during meals, in the classroom, at the dorm, and even at the bar.

@PatriciaHeaton This is true, but I don't miss everyone listening in on your conversation because the phone was in the living room.

@KevinBuffalo I guess X marks the spot...

I cringe whenever I hear, "Happy Memorial Day." If you consider the meaning of the day, there's nothing happy about it. I'm sure those who say it are thinking of the 3 day weekend and the fun that goes with it. May we never forget that people died so we could celebrate this way.

@drewdyck Thanks for the pep talk...😉

The "Kars4Kids" jingle has been banned in California. What about the other 49 states?

I see Napoleon Solo won the Preakness. Did Illya Kuryakin come in second?
I know, only Boomers will get this.

Since lately I've been complaining about the cold weather it's only fair to mention that we have a warm up for this weekend, the high on Monday will be near 90. Then, a cool down is expected (low to mid 60's). I expect a hot summer. #Buffalo

Casting for the new James Bond is underway. If you don't see much of me here in the near future, it's purely a coincidence.

Sabres playoff hockey is more than a game: it's a community event - especially after a 15 year absence from the playoffs.

[Ben C. Eder @BenCEder]

@Mkknjg11 Yes it does.
