[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

I will never unite with people who have spent every single minute of every single day since the brutal murder of Charlie Kirk trying to destroy his character, his legacy, the organization he built, and his wife.

Something was happening in America in the days after he died. People who had never opened a Bible were picking one up for the first time.

People who hadn’t seen the inside of a church in twenty years were walking through the doors.

Out of the worst thing imaginable, God was doing exactly what Charlie prayed he would do with his life, and it was visible, and it was spreading. That was the silver lining. That was our hope, and prayer that this tragedy would spark a revival.

But these demons couldn’t allow it.

They couldn’t even wait one day. On the literal day he was murdered they were already spinning conspiracies, already cutting clips, already monetizing the “questions.”

And when hijacking his death wasn’t enough, they went after his legacy. They released his personal messages. They dug through his private life for ammunition. They took a man who could no longer speak for himself and began rewriting him, twisting his words, reframing his friendships, until they could claim, with straight faces, that Charlie was secretly becoming one of them.

They retroactively converted a dead man. Without his consent. Charlie spent years publicly refuting everything they stand for, and they waited until he could no longer answer, so they could recruit his corpse.

I have never seen anything so evil and so coordinated and so vicious in my entire life.

Whatever side they’re on I am on the opposite side of that. I want to be the opposite of everything they think is good beautiful and true.

Excited to publish my second article with @lovethynerd about #RingsofPower !

[Love Thy Nerd @lovethynerd]

Diversity in Middle-earth? Absolutely. But in a world as detailed as Tolkien’s, it needs thoughtful worldbuilding too.

Sam J.O. Melton digs into how The Rings of Power handled representation—and where it could’ve gone deeper. 🧙‍♂️

I believe what really happens in history is this: the old man is always wrong; and the young people are always wrong about what is wrong with him. While the old man may stand by some stupid custom, the young man attacks it with some theory that turns out to be equally stupid.

"The Resurrection is the eucatastrophe of the story of the Incarnation. There is no tale ever told that men would rather find was true... Art has been verified. God is the Lord, of angels, and of men and of elves. Legend and History have met and fused."

I'm going to keep posting this Alstair Begg clip "The Man on the Middle Cross" (less than four minutes in length) every Holy Week, because its message is true in 2026, it will be true in 2036 and it will be true in 3036.

"If i take my eyes off the cross, I can then give only lip service to its efficacy while at the same time living as if my salvation depends upon me.

And as soon as you go there it will lead you either to abject despair or a horrible kind of arrogance.

And it is only the cross of Christ that deals both with the dreadful depths of despair and the pretentious arrogance of the pride of man that says you know, I can figure this out."
