"I was very successful on an app designed to amplify pretense, contemptuousness, and ignorance. Then the king of all those things took over and killed it."

Guys, trust me you don't want to do this. Actually teaching the Bible is the last thing you want if your goal is to make more evangelicals.

If the last time you believed something was in high school, you're not allowed to call yourself a "former X."

Jesus told her, “Go, close the tab you are using.”

“I am using no tabs,” she replied.

Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you are using no tabs. The fact is, you have had 56 tabs open, and the one you now have open you are not using.”

Helen has been, for many, one of the more helpful people in the philosophy world. Now she could use your help.

Very sad week for philosophy to lose both Adams and Dennett.

@AskPlayStation I've tried chatting and calling and both glitched out or cut me off. My toddler pressed a bunch of buttons and somehow purchased a PS Plus year subscription. I canceled it and deleted the credit card info immediately. How do I get a refund?

William Shatner is 86. So there's that.

Quote tweet to highlight fundamental agreement and affirmation of original point while acknowledging subtle but superficial contribution. Still no evidence.

[Elliot Lund @elliotlund]

@robertkwhitaker Small tweak to what you just said to sound engaged. (IMO)

A third, semi-related thing for good measure, no reasons of course.

Hey @Apple and @SamsungMobile

It's 2023. Surely we can figure out a way to set aside our differences enough to prevent this nonsense. Show us all the way in these troubled times.

@dustintrampe Here's the specialization breakdown.

[Kyle Whitaker @robertkwhitaker]

@dustintrampe I think *you* might be the outlier here buddy. 😉

Here's the more recent data. James took the lead, bastard.
