@KREM2Sports — is there an updated free TV Mariners schedule? Next game? Ryan Divish listed May 29 as possible, but NO hehe

@dpshow re: “in a world” OMG the guy who narrates the Westwood One commercials, Progressive Ins, so great!

@DavidAFrench Mike Graef here, retired UMC elder/pastor In Spokane, WA -- I just gave some money to this -- thought you might be interested to give this YouTube a view. I hugely admire Prof Jim Wellman and support this vision! https://t.co/3IM4zMQ6gu

⁦@DavidAFrench⁩ ⁦@Peter_Wehner⁩ Amazing candidate in Southwest Washington, I read this carefully. She basically splits the difference between Dems and Republicans on many issues, almost like she read David French ‘s book! &defeated Joe Kent! https://t.co/nFl1UvU7A1

@davidaxelrod And to those, even sadly -- people I know well, who buyin to this horrible violent act as a hoax: your conscience already knows that violent assaults are wrong -- you're close to truth. Give your conscience one more nudge. It terribly happened -just as the Pelosi's said it did.

@chuckgraef Got another two weeks? The Revolver reissue is just coming out

[John M Graef @JohnMGraef]

@cougsgo Agree!!

[John M Graef @JohnMGraef]

@WalkingPapers1 @ErnieSapiro @AngellJeff King Hooker, when are you guys coming back to Spokane?

@SamHarrisOrg Sam, your meditation segment in the Louis CK movie, absolutely busted a gut laughing. At first I thought it was one of the ones I’ve heard, and then oh my gosh so funny, and the movie was very touching & very good #LouieCK #Fourthofjulymovie

[John M Graef @JohnMGraef]

@Peter_Wehner @DavidAFrench Just finished French's book "Divided We Fall" -- a refreshing and enlightening lens for me, Pete. Also his podcast conversations with Andrew Sullivan and Sam Harris were fantastic.

[John M Graef @JohnMGraef]

@timmotweets @SamHarrisOrg Right on! also from the NYT just now "The Academy Awards condemned Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock during the Oscars, and said it was starting a formal review."

[John M Graef @JohnMGraef]

@SamHarrisOrg Wow, I'd be really interested to hear what Ricky Gervais might have to say about how the room tilted so strongly against Chris Rock last night. Surreal

[John M Graef @JohnMGraef]

@rickygervais So what do you make of how the room tilted completely in favor of Will Smith last night, seemingly leaving Chris Rock out in the cold for telling a joke? and then getting hit . . . very low moment. very very low moment for culture in general

[John M Graef @JohnMGraef]

@SamHarrisOrg Re: Will Smith striking Chris Rock last night, at the very least: somebody is not practicing meditation.

[John M Graef @JohnMGraef]

@JPBlanchette great column as always, and you didn't even use the dreaded term "Wazzu" once! am thinking that was an intended bouquet -- and to me extra funny for its omission

[John M Graef @JohnMGraef]

@sullydish enjoyed the Steven Pinker “rationality” podcast – thought sometime you might revisit the topic with Bernard Lonergan’s “Insight” in conversation – all the Jesuit colleges have Lonergan people, I dedicated 2021 to reading Insight, with the HUGE help of Gonzaga faculty.

@dpshow what's that song you guys are playing a lot this week, "like water. . . to the sea . . . author of our destiny"

[John M Graef @JohnMGraef]

@thedavidcrosby why 1974?
