@w_terrence Don't rush. He will not be president in another two years, so you might save on Geico if you stick around.

@VoxDantes @LaBeets50 I do not get it with the bad art and bad architecture that seems to attach itself to former President Obama. It is awful! I am not partial to him but he deserves so much more than what has been created.

[Grace Kane @ExpansiveGraces]

@LaBeets50 Not enamored of the Obamas, but that is a lovely family portrait!

@rightwingdude72 @ProfMJCleveland The Mentalist was and is great. Intrigue and romance: who could complain?

[Grace Kane @ExpansiveGraces]

@ProfMJCleveland High Potential. Light and fun.
Will Trent. Endearing police solving not-so-endearing crimes.
Chicago Med. Does not have the two decades that Grey's Anatomy does, but it is hard to go wrong with Dick Wolfe productions.

@wil_da_beast630 @SojuConnoisseur Crimes of Excess Adolescent Testosterone.

[Grace Kane @ExpansiveGraces]

My recollection is that Trayvon was struggling with family reconfigurations, and, being an adolescent with less than mature judgment, he went wandering through the neighborhood, perhaps observing residents through windows, and this not horrible, but a bit distressing, activity caused the 'neighborhood watch' fellow who fought with him to spring into action, resulting n Trayvon's death.

This was horrible.

More horrible still is faux hagiography.

Most horrible is that Trayvon did not live to have the chance to find out what might have been.

@Excellentsalvic Not when the next shipment of harvested ballots are counted!

[Grace Kane @ExpansiveGraces]

@DavidJHarrisJr Blah, blah, blah.

@carolmswain Welp! Someone may be looking to clip your wings. It will never happen!

[Grace Kane @ExpansiveGraces]

@FBIBoston There is no stealing in Little League! (Except bases.) This is truly un-American.

@elonmusk Oh. Gee. Lemme think....

[Grace Kane @ExpansiveGraces]

@MatthewMacland2 @allenanalysis C'mon, man. Surely you can think of worse!

[Grace Kane @ExpansiveGraces]

@allenanalysis These folks seem to be getting high on their own supply. Note to talking heads and "journalists:" you work for the corporation. It is not the other way around. Many, if not most of us, wish this were not true. But it is.

@Bubblebathgirl The Governor is absolutely beatific.

@TammyFi98309082 @LibOrNormal You beat me to the bunch. Brava!

[Grace Kane @ExpansiveGraces]

@LibOrNormal Things that make you go....hmmm. Would perform a quick calculation of how many times the government has lied to the people, and take it from there.

@mikemajlak @BridgetPhetasy Allusion to Hitler.

[Grace Kane @ExpansiveGraces]

@wil_da_beast630 Kind of sad, really, given that 90% of sex happens between the ears and not the legs.

[Grace Kane @ExpansiveGraces]

Sin isn't okey-doke because there is forgiveness available. That is stupid.

Sin separates us from God.

I was well into adulthood before I heard a cogent explanation of the prohibition against masturbation. The reason masturbation is sinful is because it is believed that your primary relationship should not be with yourself.

In any event, whatever captivates beyond all else can become idolatry. That did not make sense to me until I read Timothy Keller, Counterfeit Gods. Very well done. Our disordered attachments (Jesuit talk for sin), whether it is work, or money, or pleasure, or even relationships, when they distort and distract from a relationship with God, are not good for us. That is why. It is not because some ethereal Karen is going to chase us down with a strongly worded HR memorandum to set us straight. (At least I hope not. I would not survive that.)
