Skipping grades is bad for students and graduating early is even worse.

fucked that there are a million songs about love but only one about being on a sucky boat trip with your drunk grandpa and the cook throws away all your grits and eats up all your corn

“As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free.”

The Battle Hymn of the Republic is an incredible American anthem.

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. [Good] views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." -Mark Twain. Same with research

🚫 The Block. 🚫

10 years ago today, LeBron James came out of nowhere for the INCREDIBLE CHASEDOWN BLOCK in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA FINALS, sending the @cavs to their first-ever NBA championship!

Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood” (Is 1:15).

Sonic Temple would have been better off having an hour and a half moment of silence for Sean Kinney of Alice In Chains than inviting @BEARTOOTHband

All the people quoting this with various weaknesses in human anatomy seem to be ignoring how improbable it seems that single cell organisms evolved to form tissues, and then organs, and then organ systems, which somehow combined to make you and me. All by random chance.

our bodies are too intelligently designed to not believe in a divine creator

@mclo_Bridger @MountVernon Even in person it looks and feels like stone. It was a very clever and effective cost cutting measure.

[Billy Hardebeck @BillyHardebeck]

@mclo_Bridger @MountVernon They would throw sand on freshly painted wood to make it look like stone, which was quite expensive, but instead it was made of wood

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

If you think a nightmarish, unconstitutional round up of innocent people, merely suspected of being enemies of the state, can’t happen in the U.S., then you’re forgetting that it already has.

I was among them, along with my entire family and community.

@DeckofCarter I knew that when I posted it. It was just the sentiment I was trying to capture

In a bizarre twist, this is somehow the most democratic thing a president could say right now…

Because of the Dred Scott decision, The Taney Court lives in infamy. Because of today's immunity decision, the Roberts Court will live in infamy.
