Historians habitually tend to deny universals. Philosophers habitually try to escape to a realm supposedly beyond particulars. But a few rare souls know that one cannot do either: Vico, Herder, Schelling, Ravaisson, Péguy, Collingwood etc.

@Riley_Gaines_ @NCAA @HawleyMO "Legal" abuse.

@mbird12 I'm so sorry. Blessings to you and your mom.

@Strangeland_Elf Nooooooooooooooooo

@JonAcuff Ok... but sometimes you need a potato chip break.

@lecrae Dude, yes. Realizing this as a single helped me become healthier as a single Christian man. It prepared me to be a better husband to my wife now that I'm married.

@Sean_McDowell This resonates with me. My time in atheism and even temptations towards atheism now have to do with abdicating responsibility. Even after reading Nietzsche, there is just no persuasive atheist account of responsibility.

As a Catholic woman I see parallels with the Church's sex abuse atrocities: a lack of awareness or concern for children and sexually vulnerable adults. Also true of the BBC: cliques of powerful men unable to police their sexual boundaries regardless of orientation or institution.

At the last count, Pink News had 798 articles targeting JK Rowling. And many women who asked questions about this on X were greeted with the words: 'Benjamin Cohen has blocked you'. So this will be interesting...

Yet more reasons to roll back the trend for the school day to be dominated by Chromebooks and iPads.

Rabbi Jonathan Sacks was asked, "Where was God in the holocaust?" He replied, he was there in the words "You shall not murder" and "Do not oppress the stranger" and "Your brother's blood is crying out to Me."

God has always been present amidst evil in this way.

But—get this...

[Sig Lizard @SkipperNiko]

A thousand times yes!

Is there anyone else who still favors reading physical books over e-books?

@iamfujimura @FujimuraInst How lovely!

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

It is amazing how quickly schools improve when a governor makes a clear statement about phone-free schools and puts up some money that schools can choose to use to go phone-free.

Arkansas is indeed leading the way; thank you Gov. @SarahHuckabee

This applies to our reading of Holy Scriptures.

Sterilizing minor children before the age of consent is deeply wrong and many who had surgery now greatly regret it.

The House leadership should bring KOSA to a vote now. It passed the Senate 91-3. It was amended long ago to remove any privacy and free speech concerns. It puts the duty on the Big Tech Companies (especially Meta, Snap, and Tiktok) to reign in the algorithms serving kids: no more promotion of suicide or eating disorders.

Users can still post what they want and kids can still search for suicide-promoting or eating disorder content, but KOSA says that the companies have to stop sending that content directly to kids.

Parents say this is the #1 issue, above school violence, drugs, and bullying. Parents are trying, but we can't do this on our own, unless we keep our kids entirely away from the internet. Let's make social media a little safer for kids.

What a travesty. The UN is full of self-serving people who don't practice what they preach. https://t.co/grsaatBszv

Why do we have legal minimum ages? To protect kids from at least 4 harms: graphic sex, graphic violence, addiction, & health/safety hazards.

Social media exposes kids to all 4.

@profgalloway and I explain why social media should be age-gated:
