Haven’t seen many athletes comment on the news in Minneapolis outside of Haliburton, but here’s two time All/Pro Broncos guard Quinn Meinerz, who takes the field in an hour:

Once again, whipping out my favorite quote: 'Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'

-Isaac Asimov

Then, beat Michigan.

If you absolutely need it for work, I can only advise post your thought and ignore the replies, because if you have any sort of profile at all, the replies will be full of tossers trying to make you angry. And if you show them you are, it will only get worse.

Twitter is full of these people. Terminally online, hateful losers. You won’t reason them to good behavior. It’s a negative platform. I doubt anyone has left it and experienced anything other than positive consequences from doing so.

I have no idea when the universal rule of “don’t feed the trolls” disappeared from the internet, but it needs to come back. Stop giving negative people attention all the time. You aren’t going to teach them a valuable lesson. They want you to be angry or upset. They see this as a win.

People need to just stop using Twitter, instead of using Twitter to moan about Twitter.

You aren’t going to make people on that platform suddenly behave nicely by quote tweeting them. They’ll just feel happy they got to you.

My wife gave me this as an early Christmas present and I devoured it. Have you read the other Gilead books?

“I sat with my anger long enough until she told me her real name was grief.”

I never had a faith crisis moment where I woke up and realized "Oh my gosh, I don't believe this." I had a faith crisis moment looking around at everyone else in church and realizing, "Oh my gosh, THEY don't believe it."

I suppose this is true if the entire Christian discipleship is just dropping your kid off at the school and picking them up, which I know is true of a lot of X-ian schooling kids.

Scene from the movie The Birdcage. On the left Nathan lane has his hands up on his face in horror. It says: the horror of living through current events. On the right is robin williams with his arms crossed grinning. In front of him it says: the dopamine from posting a banger

inside of me there are two wolves

There is no ocean big enough to protect us from the Lord’s judgement when we decide to hammer our plowshares into swords and our pruning hooks into spears, in contempt of the will and the grace of God.

1/ American Christianity can no longer delineated by denominational/tradition lines. Those no longer matter. The only metric that now exists now, is moral consistency.

American Christianity now only has two sides: Those who excuse rape, molestation, racism, greed, and lies ... and those who do not.
