@joelklatt Where Joel was wrong. Having a horrible take isn’t a crime. But today we get to find out if you have the consistency and intellectual integrity to either recant this or say the same thing about Bama and Texas Tech (who performed significantly worse than JMU against Oregon).
@six_mack@kevinmyoung Struggling with this too. I have given up listening to Chris Tomlin for a while, as I feel he, like Michael W Smith, has sold out his witness. Phil Wickham is the one here who really hurts. Really disappointed to see him involved, and his music will be hardest to decide about.
@keithmattix@DavidFonville Perhaps, but the notion that the ability to outright lie must be a prerequisite for a party’s candidates to participate in a debate is a wild reality. Particularly when those lies are designed to demonize innocent people.
@keithmattix Fair. That he persuaded Trump to take him as veep after his open statements on Trump over the years certainly attests to the silvery forkedness of his tongue.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but the hardcover edition of @BJJPayne's "Gin, Jesus, and Jim Crow" is currently on a ridiculous sale for *under $11* on Amazon. I've read great things about this book, and can't wait to get into it!

@kkdumez@ERBks@Calvin_Uni And only slightly less prestigious, he’s a keynote at this year’s Christian Scholars’ Conference. Which only adds to the pretty stellar Calvin representation of late. 😁
I’m not surprised by the expulsion of the TN 3, but it’s infuriating & demoralizing nonetheless. The hypocrisy and anti-democratic impulses of the TNGOP seem to know no bounds.
@AdamHDomby Ah, ok. Well, I mean it as no disrespect at all to say that there is no "replacing" Ken (my mentor), but I'm thrilled both that a Civil War line continues in the dept., and that it's you carrying on his excellent legacy. You do wonderful and vitally important scholarship.
@AdamHDomby I DID NOT KNOW YOU WERE AT AUBURN NOW. Major congrats, and thrilled to see this! Know you'll be a tremendous asset to the good folk in the department. (Also, apologies if this is really old news. I'm sporadic on the Twitterverse.)
@joeycochran This is excellent, Joey. Also, didn’t know you were connected with Transhumanism. A dear friend of mine, @micahtredding, has done a decent bit of work in that arena as well. Y’all should connect digitally, if you’re not already acquainted.
