@PresbyPilgrim https://t.co/mX13c2M9Ad I think this is a decent intro to church history

@ChristianityOn The Internet has been on fire all week and the cybersecurity guy over here is like "We don't contemplate Origen enough"

My Claude found a critical zero day vulnerability in the Code of Hammurabi, unnoticed by developers for 3,779 years.

@_Herveus You'll do great, it will be a blast

The racist Christian Nationalists are celebrating the arrest and holding for ICE of brother @SlowToWrite.

Pray for his family. ICE has a horrific track record, and those in immigration holding are many times abused.

@Strangeland_Elf something something answered by the t-shirt

@mrdavidrowe 7) some of the complaints of singles just reflect the atomization of our culture *in general* and it becomes obvious more quickly for singles. Things like keeping up Christmas card lists, attending events even when you're not super duper close to host, are good for everyone

@mrdavidrowe 6) maybe my most controversial one so far, but Protestants might consider some sort of blessing ceremony or other formal recognition for people who intend to live unmarried for the forseeable future. No vows, just a recognition that this seems to be where God has placed them

@mrdavidrowe something to work towards. Super thankful for my friends who have been intentional about keeping me involved.

i feel that the time is ripe for us as a caring society to stop squishing words together within verb phrases

honor the space, yo!

payback is a noun. pay back is a verb
workout is a noun. work out is a verb
blowup is a noun. blow up is a verb
breakdown is a noun. break down is a verb
callout is a noun. call out is a verb
login is a noun. log in is a verb
cutoff is a noun. cut off is a verb

and here’s a happy little phenomenon:

in all of these pairs, the *noun* is accented on the first syllable, but the *verb phrase* is accented on the second! 👀

this accords with an extensive pattern found between pairs of English nouns and verbs. for example,

compound, present, conduct, recall, conflict, discount, intrigue, progress, construct, record, frequent, perfect, increase, contest, address, reject, object, project, absent, permit, &c.

are these words nouns or are they verbs?

well, if you accent the first syllable (the penult) they’re nouns, but if you accent the last syllable (the ultima) they’re verbs. 🤯, right??

Yayyyy! English is a best language!!!
