Some underrated takes in this. Design trumps brand and tuning every single time.

@Carldrums Wow! Thanks for sharing. Praying for you bro!

One of the best breakdowns of trumps plan that I’ve heard.

[Kaizen D. Asiedu @thatsKAIZEN]

Once you watch this, you'll understand tariffs and Trump's plan to help average Americans economically.

I watched the 3 hrs of interviews that All In Podcast did with Trump's cabinet, took highlights, and translated from Billionaire to plain English.

May it bring you clarity and calm amidst the chaos.

Thank you to @chamath @friedberg @howardlutnick @SecScottBessent @theallinpod for taking the time to do these interviews.

It's critical for Americans to understand what the plan is, from the planners.

Please share this with people who are scared about tariffs and economic chaos.

🧵🧵DOGE - A Lawyer’s Perspective on the @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump Policy Centerpiece

I inherently do not trust the media so I decided to look into DOGE myself and see what is under the hood. Initially I was quite concerned about the legality of a “new agency” created by executive order but that - just like everything else - is a lie put out by the mainstream. The order is here and the thread is below:

BREAKING: Trump administration to offer all 2 million federal workers the chance to take a “deferred resignation” with a severance package of eight months of pay and benefits. 5-10% of the workforce is estimated to quit, which could lead to around $100 billion in savings.

@therealsantino Why did Trump tell the NIH to cancel cancer research?

[Jacob Cody @JacobCody]

5 years ago started a new habit that has changed my life for the better. That habit is reading the entire bible in the month of January. I plan to do it again starting tomorrow.

It’s been one of the most beneficial routines I’ve ever started. It’s a completely new way of reading and understanding the Bible and what it says. Every year I get something new out of it.

The point isn’t to read into every detail and study the Greek and Hebrew of every word. The point is to read fast enough and high level enough to see the meta connections and narratives come together.

I do a combination of listening to the audio and reading. It’s about ~40 chapters a day. It takes dedication but it’s worth it. I’ve been amazed at the different ways I feel God is speaking to me each time.

If you’re a production manager or worship leader at a church and you lead people…I believe you would benefit a lot from this plan.

If you’ve been struggling in your faith lately…maybe it’s because you were hurt by the church or maybe it’s because you’re not sure about what you believe, this plan would be huge for you.

Maybe most importantly, If you’re in a season where life is absolutely insane and you feel like you’re hangin on by a thread, I recommend you try this. That’s where I was when I did this plan for the first time. I don’t regret it. What do you have to lose?

Here’s the plan. https://t.co/XI0ffxF9Ff

If you do it, hit me up. Would love to chat through each day or week or whatever you’d like. It’s always fascinating seeing how God is talking to others through the same reading.

I have many friends who are going through some really hard stuff lately. Relationship stuff. Health stuff. Financial stuff. The list of people we pray for every night has been exceptionally long this season.

Not long ago, I was going through my own stuff as I walked through an extremely painful divorce.

During that season, as Christmas came around, I came across this verse.

"But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong."
1 Corinthians 1:27 NIV

As I've seen my own life play out after my divorce, I've seen how God can use the least "ideal" ingredients to make an incredible meal. The least "ideal" tools to make an incredible structure.

Jesus was born in a manger...in Bethlehem. That's like the equivalent of being born in the back seat of a '89 civic on the side of the road in Bakersfield, CA.

I'm reminded that God specializes in making all things new. And in this Advent season, my hope is that all of those who are in the midst of a low and discouraging season hold on to the reality of who God is, and stay encouraged and reminded that there is hope; that the broken pieces of their lives will be used to make something truly special and new... if they allow it.

Interesting thoughts on art today.

[Devon Eriksen @Devon_Eriksen_]

This, and Disney Star Wars, and all of modern Hollywood, and all of Manhattan tradpub, can be explained with one simple idea.

And no, it isn't "Satan". No religious suppositions are required. What's going on here is venial, and even more depraved.

Narcissism.

You see, there are two kinds of artistic creativity. Both are based on egotism, but one is healthy, and the other is destructive.

The first says "Art is about beauty and truth. I will create that which is beautiful and true, that which uplifts those who look upon it. And my ego will be satisfied when my work is acknowledged as good, both by myself and others."

This is based on a healthy version of egotism... pride.

Pride is self-respect, a sense of one's own proper dignity or value, as earned through merit, virtue, and accomplishment.

The second says "Art is about self-expression. I will create art based on whatever is in myself, no matter how ugly, deceptive, and low. I will make myself visible in every aspect of my art, and my ego will satisfied, because I will be the center of attention, with everyone looking at me."

This is based on the sick version of egotism... narcissism. It is the ego that demands to be the center of attention, regardless of what others actually wish to see or would like to pay attention to.

It is the revenge of the neglected child, not on the mother who ignored him, but on the entire universe.

Great art is not about self-expression. It comes from the self, it is shaped by the self, but it the truth it expresses is shared and universal. This is why it speaks to others, not just the artist.

When we look upon a fine sculpture, we see only David, not Michelangelo.

When we read a great story, we do not see Tolkien, and we forget, for a moment, that Frodo and Sam aren't real.

We can say Van Gogh painted one white iris because he was lonely, isolated within a crowd, but if we do say that, we care because we have been lonely, too.

Great art makes the artist invisible. He waits backstage until the art is done, and it is time for him to step out and take a bow, receive his applause and be satisfied in a work well done. He does not stand between the audience and their enjoyment of the work.

But, for this precise reason, great art cannot emerge from narcissism. The narcissist cannot bear to upstaged by anything, even the work of his own hands, the child of his own brain.

The narcissistic artist creates art not to please others, but to force others to look at him. He must stamp his personality on every corner of the work, make it his and his alone, and remind the audience, in every moment, in every place they direct their gaze, that this work is his, and that he is what truly matters, here.

This art, shown here, is not ugly by accident. It is ugly because the artists wish you to look upon their ugliness, both outer and inner.

It is ugly because its message is not "look at this" but "look at me".

This is why the left is obsessed with "representation" in art. This is why they cover themselves in ugly, mismatched tattoos, and dye their hair pink, purple, and blue. This is why they write self-indulgent stories about "identity" and "finding your squad".

They are screaming their identity at the void, never realizing that it's not only possible, but easy, to be unique without being interesting or useful.

Those who fancy themselves to be beautiful unique snowflakes would do well to remember that the slightest touch of heat will turn them into homogeneous, ubiquitous, undifferentiated water.

They can work for Disney all they want, making black lesbian Jedi so that "the character can look just like me", but the character will be boring because they are boring.

In other words, what we are seeing here is not a rebellion against god (if you are religious) or civilization and merit (if you aren't), it's something far worse.

It's the petty, ugly, banalities of an entire subculture of tiresome neurotics who cannot dredge one single beautiful, interesting, or true thing out of their souls that would make you voluntarily pay attention.

I blame their mothers.
