They had a large family, and they were very improvident and cheerful.

I have been looking everywhere for science curriculum for the elementary school we are starting next year. The problem I keep running into is everything is aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards, which are garbage. Great read: https://t.co/vgfskviUpU

Goes without saying that Douthat has been on a generational run with Interesting Times and now 60 Minutes, but watching the last five minutes where he is earnestly trying to save Trump from eternal damnation is like getting a newly released excerpt from The Great Divorce.

Marriage is at a disadvantage these days because reading someone's Reddit/IG story (fake or not) about how their ex-husband/wife was awful gets a lot of clicks but normal happy couples are prohibited by good sense and propriety from talking about having great sex twice a week.

@pegobry_en @MochaLite He asked Chris Murphy if he thought God was disappointed with him!

I am not a Bond guy. Only one I’ve seen in theaters was Skyfall. But I will become a Bond guy if they make Pattinson the next Bond 🫡

@kitten_beloved Focus on the Family Radio Theatre has made excellent full-cast adaptions of the Chronicles of Narnia. My kids love em.

Obviously very different careers and genres, but Rich Mullins and Billy Joel have the same kind of musical genius. Everybody else is bouncing around on the I, IV, V, and vi and these two are both like, “I’m going to use EVERY note, and maybe every instrument too.”

I will never forgive Nathaniel Hawthorne for writing an extremely mid novel to create the meme that Puritans were all ascetic killjoys.

James 2: “them” is not a singular pronoun, just say “him”
James 3: you already said “mankind,” just say “no man can tame the tongue.”
Maybe I just need to go all-in on KJV.

I keep getting more and more annoyed with the ESV, but I’ve already memorized so much scripture that it feels too late to pick a new default translation.

@jameslepine “Lord, I thank you that I am not like this tax collector. I have memorized SO MANY verses (in the ESV)…”

@iamaspaceyoshi Go ahead, just give me one (1) counter-example! Cite a single Puritan who taught it.

[John Lepine Sr. @johnlepine]

@iamaspaceyoshi @theobronzor It is not a Puritan point of view at all! You would have been put under church discipline for teaching or practicing as such in a Puritan congregation. There was no “crazy“ or fringe group of Puritans who believed that.

[John Lepine Sr. @johnlepine]

@iamaspaceyoshi @theobronzor This is Puritan libel! They were extremely pro-sex within marriage. https://t.co/jXZVOGPihB

There’s plenty you can criticize Ayn Rand for, but don’t you DARE say she wrote cartoonish or unrealistic villains.

That is why I introduced the  SHARE Act. It sets up a new pilot program to stop evictions before they happen. The goal is simple: tenants, landlords, and the city all working together to pitch in and solve rent debt early.

I have made my peace with just changing the clocks every year. Given the various trade-offs, it’s a good compromise that has held for decades. But permanent standard time is clearly so much better than permanent DST would be, and it’s not at all close.

[VB Knives @Empty_America]

Many imagine that humans just "adjust" to clock changes that force earlier rising, but they don't.

If someone has a job where they have to get up at 3am they never really get used to it, and they will die younger as a result.

Year round DST is harmful for the same reason.

What is the oldest political news story you can remember? For me it's Joe Biden being selected as Obama's VP.

@DavidRLepine Did they perform “I Wouldn’t Live in New York City”?
