Oof, it’s been a minute. Lots to do with the move coming up and getting back into routine after the flu. But I just wanted to let y’all know that you’re awesome, and I hope you’re having a great day!

If empathy is a sin, then I will take Martin Luther’s advice: “Sin boldly.”

Even though I got my flu shot this year, my wife brought home influenza-A from her job at a dental clinic and got us both sick. Today is the fifth day I’ve been sick, and while my fever may have broken — hopefully — I feel weak and wobbly from days of fever and coughing. Stay safe out there, gang.

Hope everyone is happy with what they’ve accomplished. The end of the rule of law over grocery prices caused by… nothing a President can control. One day you can tell your kids that we broke the international order over bird flu. www.axios.com/2025/01/21/b...

The Budde sermon, and Trump's reaction to it, distills nearly everything I've written about for the past decade. MAGA believes they define the only true version of Christianity in America. A Christianity that sees Trump as white Christian America's savior, and all other Christianities as dead.

Hey, #tolkien nerds and #tolkientok refugees. Has anyone tried Triller or Clapper as a TikTok alternative? I’m leaning toward Clapper but wanted to know if others had done any experimenting.

This is one of my friends and reliable follows from TikTok. He is worth a follow. Hoping the #tolkientok community can rebuild elsewhere now that TikTok appears to be dying.

Short 9axes results here: 9axes.github.io/results.html... Surprising no one, I’m a libertarian socialist again. Some of the granularity may be helpful. I’d be interested to see others’ scores.

Watch the movie, Shirley, on Netflix. It’s a biopic of the amazing Shirley Chisholm, a Black woman who fought against overwhelming discrimination and entrenched political power to run for President in 1972. Maybe not innovative filmmaking, but a life worth remembering today. Good movie! 3.5/5
