@PhysInHistory Francis Schaefer’s great question.

@JeremyTate41 Would love to rant about what dolts kids are nowadays compared to the geniuses we were back when America Was Great, but no list like this, close to this, or even remotely mimicking this, bore itself in any classroom at my public high school. I rather doubt it did anywhere.

@lonecrim @pensandpoison I think of something else: in college or in any education, you’re forced to confront t your biases. You hopefully come to see that the person who disagrees with you is not hopelessly stupid but weights how they want to achieve the same things you do.

A weird one: A Severe Mercy by Sheldon Vanauken. A story of a young couple in love who move to Oxford and become Christians. They are surrounded by other faithful who read physics and chemistry, lit, and history. I was a young Christian then, too,
and this gave me a kind of permission to read/study whatever grabbed hold
Of me. I’d never heard Christians talking like this before.

@InuitKodiak Still interested. Writer, nuclear scientist, Christian, proven breeder.

Dell’s shares soared 40% after being awarded $9.7 billion federal government contract.
Shares are up 150% since Trump purchased more than $1 million worth of shares.

Fair pricing requires systemic changes. We are right to worry about rising costs. Creating the infrastructure to power AI will be extraordinarily costly. Don't imagine that Amazon or X will pay for this. It's just like tariffs: the wealthiest 'deserve' freedom and luxury. We serfs and minions deserve to pay for it.

"Utilities generally earn a rate of return on capital expenditures but not operational expenditures. That can make expensive infrastructure investments more attractive to utilities, even when operational solutions may lower bills, @powerlinesorg found."

@CultureExploreX @KriderJackie There's wisdom here...

"Civilization survives because someone cleans the dust from what everyone else stops to admire."

@themarginalian A great read, but can't be told without some Ivan Illyich thrown in...

@SoulCultivated Wha? C'mon. Papa always.

And pray without ceasing...

It's 3 PM, the Hour of Mercy.

Let us pause to remember Christ’s sacrifice for us.

Powerful and relevant.

An open letter to Franklin Graham from Dan Hawk, Professor of Old Testament and Hebrew at Ashland Theological Seminary

I write in response to your video message at the Rededicate 250 event last weekend, and specifically to your use of the Bible to reinforce Right-Wing political talking points.

@shane_pruitt78 Ha! I've know that serial full-frontal hugger!

[Dancing Calf @DancingCalf]

A corollary I heard every day during COVID was, "G takes cares of his own." And they're both true: G does take care of his own and G does give children, but there's an implication that it will be an easy ride, that you will showcase your best self, and that people will wonder at how glorious happy and giggly you are.

@HootenWilson Still catching up from winter...

[Dancing Calf @DancingCalf]

Interesting that when I was a wee pup, secularism was the clarion cry, but it was simply Christianity washed of the mention of G. It retained humanist ideals. We still fed the poor, housed the homeless, and believed in humanity. We got along quite well. Now we've dumped even the premise of faith and faith works and the emptiness of it opens bleeds like a wound.

I have to say...I love this kind of art.

[Catholic Life @prayandfast2]

St. Joan of Arc, pray for us!
