@_a__w_ I don't know how many times someone writing down my name misspells Alan and then asks 'Gates, is that g-a-t-e-s?' Now days when people ask, I just spell them both.

A special bonus! Be sure to stick around after the credits for 'The Making of The Most Reluctant Convert'! Theatres are selling out! Check for new showtimes at https://t.co/l9USGjNLx4!

@rjurney What I really love is the way which episode it picks to play next is, as far as I can tell, random. Not always from the same feed. Might be one you've heard before or one you've downloaded but not listened to.

@spyced Clearly it stands for Esc Meta Alt Control Shift. As a colleague once observed, it would be ok if your computer had foot petals like a piano.

@mikeolson One of my favorites was when Spotify served me ads for a Smart Car and a large model pick-up back-to-back and then a few minutes later threw in an ad in Spanish. Not clear what demographic all three of those are aimed at.

This is not about politics. This is about our country, about the rule of law, and about the sanctity of human life. https://t.co/rYidlxRvfE

@HoushangLivian In most movie sequels the action and threat is ramped way up compared to the original. Perhaps we're in the sequel.

@rjurney I read both Theogony and Works and Days and remember enjoying them, but it was 25+ years ago so I don’t remember much.

@rjurney I agree The Iliad is a hard read. I like the Odyssey though. Largely for the topic. Travel is more interesting than endless combat.

If you're looking for a fuller treatment of why Christians need wisdom in how to apply the Bible to public policy, I talk about it here. https://t.co/rY6A33voLe

@mikeolson Assuming best intentions, my guess is a strong belief in supply side economics while rejecting Keynesian economics. Based on my limited reading in economics, most economists feel there is a time and place for both supply side and Keynes.

@t3rmin4t0r @tlipcon Congratulations!

@rbowen Someone told me once that one of the marks of a good public speaker is the ability convert that fear into energy that empowers you in the speech. So perhaps those who are always nervous are better speakers.
