So about last night

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

The NYT published a link to critical original reporting on Iran 45 minutes ago. A good, fair story. They have 53m followers. The engagement metrics you display say they got 94 likes and 33 retweets out of that. Is that accurate? And if so, shouldn't you work on a better algo?

Our fear of God should be greater than our fear of man. The fear of God is what empowers us to stand up to powerful people who threaten us and demand absolute loyalty & obedience. It gives us strength to do what’s right when we’re being pressured to bend the knee.

“The fear of God gives you the strength to stand in front of something very powerful and say, I’m going to choose to obey God instead of whatever you are threatening to do to me.” @kaitlynschiess on 🎙️Curiously, Kaitlyn

Property tax is just a tax on unrealized gains and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

You buy a house for $300k. Years later, market goes up, assessor says it's worth $600k now. Boom—your tax bill jumps, even though you haven't sold a damn thing, pulled equity, or seen a dime of cash from that "gain." You're paying every year on paper wealth that only exists on Zillow or some county spreadsheet.

We lose our minds when politicians float taxing unrealized stock gains for billionaires ("muh forced sales!"), but grandma gets hit with the same thing on her family home and we're supposed to call it "paying for schools and roads"? Nah.

It's a wealth tax dressed up as a service fee, and it only feels fair because we've normalized it for centuries. Once the mortgage is paid off, you should OWN it outright—no annual ransom to the county just because your neighborhood got trendy.

Abolish property taxes on primary residences. Tax consumption if you must, but stop pretending "ownership" means you rent from the government forever.

I'm grieving so hard over what is happening in my state. Yesterday I prepped supper for my youth group all morning, and then went to the Bible study I teach. I had to text the servers I lined up to help me for supper that I'd be late coming because one of the women had a situation the day before that was overwhelming her and just brought her to tears, and she needed some prayer. I couldn't just say, "sorry about your problems...so I gotta go." I stayed and listened because that is what was needed at that moment. Then I joined the kitchen crew that had my meal in hand, and helped them clean up.

This morning I was burdened with everything, and I went to the mom's of preschooler's group, where I'm a mentor mom, and talked with those sleep deprived frazzled mamas asking me for tips on how to keep their toddlers alive when they're running full throttle into everything and climbing all the things. I finally got home, and finished dishes in my own kitchen from all the work of feeding 40 teens yesterday.

And I guess I'm just tired because I don't have time to investigate everything, and feel everything for everyone. And I do feel everything, and I do want to know everything.

And it would be one thing if this whole fiasco in Minnesota happened in a vacuum when people weren't dealing with enormous relational issues, or trying to feed their teenagers, or trying to keep their toddlers alive, and trying to get a teething baby to sleep or a newborn to eat. My elderly mom who lives near me also broke her foot this week, and it might affect her physical therapy exercises for her Parkinson's, and now there's going to be more meetings, and she's dealing with more pain, and this last year was a year of pain for her and she just finished recovering from her spinal surgery last year.

And I'm washing dishes and praying, not because I don't care. Not because I don't have opinions. Not because I don't feel this all deeply but because I do. But because I need God near. It's all too much. And I'm trying to love the people God has placed in my life and called me to help to the best of my ability. So yes, prayer is my coping response. Jesus is my coping response. He's how I breathe. He's how I love. He's how I pray, and to whom I pray. I am not God and I cannot fix the world. That's not me running from the fire, that's me learning humility, and leaning into my humanity. And I hate it. But I love him. His grace with me is how I can put one foot in front of the other to do the tasks he has prepared me to do.

@SatDownSouth I agree, but I do have an issue with the cadence with which he said go dawgs! sounded like a? Not a statement lol

Christmas is our annual reminder that God chose enter this world as a marginalized person on behalf of marginalized people everywhere.

Jesus was born poor--to a scandalized teenage mom and a blue collar stepdad. His people were living under oppressive occupation and he was from a town no one liked (“Can anything good come from Nazareth?”). First recognized as Messiah by social outcasts and pagan magicians, Jesus spent his early years as a refugee on the run from a violent government.

In one of his earliest public speeches, Jesus claimed he’d been sent by God “to proclaim good news to the poor,” “freedom for the prisoners,” “recovery of sight for the blind,” “to set the oppressed free,” and “to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

Jesus spent the rest of his life doing just that, all while challenging oppressive systems, breaking religious rules, and defying social norms to support those on the margins. Eventually, he was executed as a political dissident by the occupying Roman government.

But it didn’t end there. Jesus overcame death with life by rising from the grave, demonstrating once and for all that there is nothing more powerful than the love of God. He now offers forgiveness, freedom, and flourishing to anyone and everyone who wants it.

If you really want to “keep Christ in Christmas,” worry less about people saying Xmas or Happy Holidays and more about sharing this story—the story of Jesus.

There will be some tough moments for Smart as he returns to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl a year after his father’s death, but the focus remains this Georgia team, one built on toughness. https://t.co/t99i1q67wY

[The Bulldawg Report @ReportBulldawg]

The media has made a huge deal about Alabama’s offense not being healthy in the SEC Championship Game.

Well, don't forget the weapons Georgia has been missing.

What I'm hearing:

Charges dropped for Walker, Glover - video surveillance showing scanner malfunctioned at self-checkout.

What I'm not seeing anywhere from any media sources:

Retractions.

Probably still in the "give it time" phase, but I hold little optimism.
