I’m still very disgruntled with the @cardinals.com management, but greatly enjoy getting to read @dgoold.bsky.social writing about them every day.

Can’t wait to see how Mohler and Andrew Walker explain how World Relief & World Vision are a critical threat to the church & the American family. And that President Bush was a communist agent… Monday on The Briefing www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Maybe the president could just require anyone not born in the U.S. to wear a big yellow I on all their clothes. That would simplify things for him. Excepting of course his head of government efficiency. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/28/u...

Subzero temps in my crazily built house means using RV antifreeze in one particular bathroom because the builder “forgot” to put insulation in some very critical areas.

I do not enjoy American football at all (note that I call it American football and I’m American), I’m a baseball and real football person. But even I cannot resist Ravens/Bills.

In this era of having everything to watch all the time, I find myself only watching Top Gear & The Grand Tour on repeat. I think I’ve reached peak middle aged dad status.

I’ve been a great admirer of Hays and the genuineness in which he wrote. A certain, blowhard seminary president should not have merited mention in his obituary. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/12/u...

I really appreciate the way Kristof engages with religion. Unlike many on the right, he’s always respectful, open, and kind. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/21/o...

The optimism of Brooks is a good antidote for the cynicism of Brett Stephens. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/19/o...

This seems condescending and willfully ignorant. There have been many voices who decried Clinton’s failings, who also opposed Trump. As a centrist, I don’t expect many voices to represent me, but the arrogant cynicism of Stephens is a definitely a dividing force. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/17/o...

You know you’ve landed at the right church when you get a Wendell Berry poem and a Robert Putnam book recommendation from the pulpit.

In honor of our incoming Secretary of Health and Human Services, I went and got my first Covid shot in a few years. And a flu shot for good measure. And a Hep B shot just for grins.

Shouldn’t the Trumpsters at least grudgingly love Taylor for knocking down a cool $2 billion for the Eras Tour? I’m a middle an out of touch middle aged white dad and can recognize her song writing genius, but her capitalism savvy is off the charts.

I don’t love the perpetual lack of direction and penny pinching of the @stlcardinals.bsky.social but I’m very thankful they don’t mortgage the team for a player like Soto. The 2019 WS isn’t his, it’s Scherzer’s.

I want to write criticism like Becca Rothfield when I grow up. www.washingtonpost.com/books/2024/1...

Bummed that Swept Away is closing early and before our tickets in January. But happy that I was able to rebook everything for us to catch the final show on December 15. I’m sure it will be memorable.

I just submitted my last assignment for my first semester as an old man PhD student after months of frantic work…and now I feel adrift and bummed out. I really need to start counseling.

If the numbers could sort Christian churches from Christian Nationalist churches, I suspect that tiny red spot on Dr. Burge’s map in which I live would also be some shade of blue as well.

Had full intentions of finishing a 20 page research paper for a PhD seminar that’s due on Tuesday but the eldest son appeared and wanted to watch Justified, which we’ve been slowly working on for 3 years. When your college age kids requests to hang out, you drop your stuff and hang out.
