Sometimes, it is easy to confuse what a book is critiquing with what it may (or may not) be endorsing.
That manner of collapsing depiction into endorsement is a barrier to #CriticalReading. 👇🏻(1/3)
FROM PROTEST TO YALE
1984: protesting a convention.
1986: realizing faith and politics were colliding.
Yale changed how I read the Bible — and power.

Fact or opinion?
This 7–10 minute bellringer has students:
• Classify claims
• Justify with evidence
• Practice close reading
Small routine. Big thinking.

“The Killing Age” is rigorously researched with gripping, underreported accounts of who killed whom and who stole what—but the narrative sometimes overshoots, trading precision for exaggeration. Powerful, if uneven. #BookReview #Nonfiction #GlobalPolitics #History #CriticalReading
3/3
“Terror plot” implies mass lethality, yet filings reportedly note claims of warning people on site. That tension is buried, not examined. Democracies rot when fear outruns facts—and contempt is earned by those who blur that line. #FactsOverFear #CriticalReading

I came not to bring peace, but a sword… to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother… (Matt. 10:34–37)
Christ demands allegiance that divides? Ouch.
Family values? He warned truth may cost them.
The sword severs kin when kin stands in truth’s way.

OK, clarification welcome. Thank you.
And granted, academic/scientific writing using AI is concerning. But such papers circulate & are often not trashed: THIS paper helps decode them.
I shared it with that in mind, ie to endorse #CriticalReading of AI-generated texts, not acceptance or censorship.

Going a bit bro-science here:🏋️♂️🏋️♂️ a study reports gym supplements as gateway to anabolic steroids with an 8x higher odds. BUT: low cases (n=18), wide CI (2.6 -26.7), mixed definitions (protein shakes are a gateway drug?) & potential confounders. Observation ≠ causation #criticalreading
