What unpopular opinion can put you in this position??

[Justin Skirry @JustinSkirry]

@irinibus Terrific thread! You captured my experience very well and I appreciate it. Thank you

[Justin Skirry @JustinSkirry]

@JeffreyLuscombe Yes, great grandparents

@Philip_Goff Maybe God can prevent suffering but chooses not to? Perhaps the limitation is on his goodness and not his power?

@akafacehots Yes. I still have one somewhere

@LizWFab I feel you. I’m in the same spot but I’m having a hard time reorienting.

[Bryan W. Van Norden @BryanVanNorden]

I almost feel sorry for J. D. Vance, because he is so obviously an empty shell of a human being, lacking the stable values, beliefs, and dispositions that we call "character." 1/6

Trump is just too old to be president, he should step down. Don't you agree?

[Justin Skirry @JustinSkirry]

@keithfrankish @elonmusk Who cares?

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

What a grave miscalculation by the Trump campaign.

They just spent the last 6 months making the case that an elderly man shouldn’t be president.

Who’s the old guy now?

Thomas-Alexandre Dumas is the most inspiring man you’ve never heard of

Born a slave, he went on to become France’s greatest general alongside Napoleon… and that wasn’t even his best achievement!

He actually inspired France’s all time greatest novel, written by his own son…

I’m thinking of instituting a personal policy of never assigning peer-reviewed publications to my students. Some reasons:

[Evan Amato @SirEvanAmato]

The philosopher Boethius was falsely imprisoned and sentenced to death.

Awaiting execution, he wrote a book: The Consolation of Philosophy.

Here’s his advice on how philosophy can help you — even in the face of death... 🧵

Marine Le Pen bragged that she and Donald Trump share the same fascist policies.

And the French people rejected that, and hopefully the American people will do the same to Trump.

[Pat Fuller #KeeperOfTheFlame 🔥 🟧🟦☮️ @bannerite]

Why? @ABC @CNN @NBC @MSNBC @nytimes

[Mueller, She Wrote @MuellerSheWrote]

It would be so fucking refreshing if the media started going after trump and asking him to withdraw from the race for being a convicted felon, dodging interviews, and holding no public press conferences or events outside his teleprompted hate rallies.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: President Biden has just arrived in Atlanta and is being greeted with thunderous chants of approval. Don’t ever let the media tell you Democrats aren’t enthusiastic about reelecting President Biden. Retweet so everyone sees this.

@musicalvagabond For me it’s a tie between Blackout and Screaming for Vengeance

[Justin Skirry @JustinSkirry]

@punt_rd Saw him live in 1985. Impressive guitarist but his big solo went on for so long, the rest of the band just threw their hands and stood there in silence until he was done
