There is a lunar halo right now around the full moon. You should go outside and see it. Breathtaking.

[Connor Shackelford @Connor_Shack]

I love the moon. The other night, I pointed out the moon to my son and it awoke within him an unfettered passion for that silver gleam. Now, every night before bed, he sits on my shoulders and shouts "I see the moon!" I have never been more proud.

If I had a nickel for every time Texas failed to recover an on-side kick this season, I'd have 10¢, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

@BaptistBavinck The Lambeth Articles are correct.

As for the Book of Sports, my opinion is that the Puritans are similar to Play-Doh: fun to pray with, not to lead.

@BaptistBavinck As an Anglican I reserve the right to avoid Scottish Presbyterian controversies

You should be deeply skeptical of all attempts to replicate reality with the artificial. For the aim is not really to replicate reality but to confuse it at first and then ultimately replace it.

We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

@j_divis Mormon logic is weak, yes.

[Connor Shackelford @Connor_Shack]

Mormons always want it both ways:

"We're Christians too"
"You aren't real Christians"

"We're just another Christian denomination"
"Multiple denominations proves yours isn't true"

They will take whatever position is advantageous because they are a corruption of the truth.

[James Divis @j_divis]

Paul said the Church is "built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone" (Ephesians 2:20).

He also said there is "one Lord, one faith, one baptism" (Ephesians 4:5).

Not 45,000 denominations. One.

So which church today is built on apostles and prophets, and has the authority Christ gave?

There can only be one👇🏼

[Connor Shackelford @Connor_Shack]

@Chriskb116 That's a good point. Even so, I think his lack of understanding of "the last enemy to be defeated is death" is understandable if he only went twice a year. I'm not sure most kids at his age would know that verse or understand what it means.

[Connor Shackelford @Connor_Shack]

Propaganda never says the quiet part out loud until they believe resistance is futile. So no, the commercial would not say "never hug your grandparents." If they wanted to abolish affection in families, it would look exactly how it does.

[Enda O'Halloran @EO_Halloran]

@PYeerk Most kids like hugging their grandparents

If "woke ideology" truly believed in abolishing affection in families then the message would be kids should never hug their grandparents

Not, listen to a kid if they happen to say no

Every day we stray further from God

Are you ready?! The Wingstop x Sour Patch Kids collab drops TOMORROW for Club Wingstop members and this one is WILD! 😲

Let me know if you're trying it and what you think... I can't wait to hear from you all!

Let us celebrate the Feast Day of St. James of Jerusalem!

"Grant, O God, that, following the example of your apostle James the Just, kinsman of our Lord, your Church may give itself continually to prayer and to the reconciliation of all who are at variance and enmity; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen."

Shocking nobody, the anonymous accounts angry at my common sense have not changed my mind

Not all physical contact is sexual. The modern idea of consent is based on the assumption that it is. Collapsing all physical touch into something that needs consent because it is implicitly a violation of one's sexual autonomy, causes distrust in one's family for no good reason.

@ArmandDAngour We've made our world today such a miserable place

[Vikingr 🇮🇪🏳️‍🌈🇵🇸 @Vikxngr]

Please explain why teaching children consent and bodily autonomy is a bad thing. Explain why (grand)parents should be exempt from getting consent from their children?

[Connor Shackelford @Connor_Shack]

Kids don't want to hug their grandparents because they think they're too cool for it.
The Left weaponizes this by promoting "consent" so that you will trust the government who gives you what you want, over your family, who loves you. It's pure manipulation.

[Connor Shackelford @Connor_Shack]

CS Lewis spends a lot of time in That Hideous Strength describing the motives behind the propaganda machine of the
N.I.C.E.

Boy was he dead on.

[Connor Shackelford @Connor_Shack]

The boundaries of human nature are good. Rejecting those boundaries in favor of "possibilities" will only ever make you unhappy. This is for many reasons, but the most basic is that no matter what you try, or what you theorize, you cannot change your identity as male or female.

[Facty from Fact Attack Adventures @FactyfromFAA]

Gender binary puts horrible boundaries on human possiblities
