The Sandlot has the single greatest vision of American life ever put on film.

This scene is what it’s all about. 🇺🇸

Excellent question.

[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

You see a bad driver on the road, which license plate is the likely culprit?

[Trevor Hoffman @not_thepitcher]

@BCrawford247 I’ve appreciated your work for years. Now especially enjoying your Danny GO YouTube channel.

michael crichton is what got me into reading. the great train robbery is the BEST!

[PoIiMath @politicalmath]

Michael Crichton is such a fascinating figure and it is a goddamn shame he died so young

This guy got into Harvard Medical School and said "actually, I want to write stories" so he wrote one of the most harrowing long short stories, the Andromeda Strain.

This guy was addicted to research. He read scientific journals for fun and researched everything that captured his interest. He was curious and skeptical. He thought hard about the implications of technology all the time.

And, instead of being a dork and writing a blog, he wrote entire novels warning about the dangers of emerging technologies. And they were great!

He wrote a `Prey` about the dangers of combining AI with nanobots 24 years ago. It's tremendous. You could publish it today and it would be relevant.

I miss him. I miss technically competent authors who can spin a good yarn while informing the reader about how technology is changing the world.

Crichton was a generational talent and we are poorer for his absence.

@HannahGraceLong His best films are those which revolve around reverence for the numinous. Looking forward to reading this piece!

If you think human nature is basically good, try being a Little League umpire for a few games.

DMB is, was, and will always be *great.*

one thing the 90s nostalgia leaves out is how much Dave Matthews we were forced to hear against our will

[Trevor Hoffman @not_thepitcher]

@RDLaverty Been saying this for years. There are dozens of us!

[Trevor Hoffman @not_thepitcher]

@GShaneMorris Correct. Disordered life is still *life.* this is something less.

@JLSteffaniak My dad had a gray ‘89 f-150 that always smelled like Kodiak wintergreen and it’s the greatest vehicle to have ever been.

@DZRishmawy They get a bad rap but I like varying between strict and kipping pull ups

[Trevor Hoffman @not_thepitcher]

@DrJTPennington @PLeithart I'd be curious to hear what texts you've found helpful for your students in this class!

[Trevor Hoffman @not_thepitcher]

@BMcGrewvy I love going to see a good space gosling

@lukedsimmons It’s definitely an underrated vision/culture “soaker hose”

[Alex DiPrima @Alex_DiPrima]

“Friendship is the greatest of worldly goods. Certainly to me it is the chief happiness of life. If I had to give a piece of advice to a young man about a place to live, I think I should say, 'sacrifice almost everything to live where you can be near your friends.’” - C. S. Lewis

@brandon_d_smith @BHAcademic We've got a dozen people getting together on Holy Saturday to discuss Baptist Vision and they're really enjoying it. Appreciate your group's work!

[Luke Simmons @lukedsimmons]

I will have a final day as a pastor.
But never as a Christian.

I think about this multiple times per week… and rejoice.

Pastoring is wonderful.
Knowing Jesus is better.
