Mistakes, failures, and setbacks are great for character development and make the story so much more interesting. That's what I tell myself whenever I do something stupid.

@VikesCentral To be fair, if you called someone "The second coming of Sam Darnold" three years ago, it would have been an insult. You never know. . .

@_cooleb @SpringhouseFilm I like how they label this the "mustard seed dilemma" because they're clearly trying to find a Christian equivalent to the Islamic dilemma (and they can't).

[Tim Pietz @TimPietz]

@_cooleb Praying!

@fandompulse Real books are so much more satisfying than e-books. Love the affordability of e-books, and they have their place, but the vibe just ain't the same. And I hadn't thought about how the death of DVDs is also the death of bonus content!

Sure, the situation is complex. Sure, we should be respectful of other cultures and religions. But in no context is selling your pre-pubescent daughter into a "marriage" with an adult man a necessary response to economic hardship.

@_cooleb Congratulations you guys!

@_cooleb @SymplyTonbra Kyoshi's willingness to kill might give her the edge over Aang.

@ThatVato47 @AdamSchefter @RapSheet He's good. Low sack numbers don't tell the whole story of last season. Underlying metrics were excellent. Consistently disruptive, a well-rounded player. Wish we could have gotten a 2nd for him.

Had time to write a new blog post for the first time in forever! This will save me a lot of time explaining publishing to author clients.

Ever wondered what the different paths to publishing are? Here's a quick (but detailed) breakdown!

This instructor looks familiar.

Registration is still open! A very affordable class, and a very practical one, too. If you're a Christian freelance editor, particularly one earlier in your career, I'd love to have you join!

@_cooleb @RAWigger Scary that people actually deny or minimize the Holocaust. That's such a massive (and recent) historical event, there really isn't any room for doubt. Think of how many people would have to knowingly lie to make it up--and how much evidence would have to be planted to support it.

Actually (half) fixed a website problem. I feel so smart and techy! And honestly kind of stunned. Maybe not having my engineer brother around to fix all my tech problems has forced me to persevere more.

@CreasonJana @Vikings Dude, this is AI generated. There's a Sora watermark at the top right start of the video. Someone generated this for rage bait and you fell for it. Not that I blame you--AI has gotten really realistic--but that puts a bigger weight on the need to fact-check these days.

@dissectmarkets @tm1515152005 @NFL_DovKleiman Same injury from last game. Knew he'd be in pain going into the game and refused a shot because he didn't want his hand to be numb while playing. Gutted it out for a half. I respect it.

[Tim Pietz @TimPietz]

Merry Christmas, everyone! Hope you enjoy your celebration of the Savior's birth.

YouTube has a ton of A.I.-generated ads these days. Really makes me uncomfortable when your advertising lacks tethers to reality but is pitching itself as real-life visuals.

If you're making a movie adaptation of a classic, respect authorial intent and maintain the story's heart and tone. If you want to write something fresh, new, and modern, make something original. Gerwig saying "this is not your mother's/grandmother's Narnia" is disappointing.

[NarniaWeb @NarniaWeb]

"This is not your mother's or your grandmother's Narnia. The music in it is unbelievably contemporary music. I’m not gonna say specifically, but things like Pink Floyd and The Doors."

—IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond on Greta Gerwig's Narnia
