Muppet Babies Hunger Games seems like an idea worth pursuing.

Social media basically leavens whatever we are thinking or feeling. A small idea or emotion can become all-consuming if you let the algorithms run with it.

I don't trust anyone who isn't a bit cynical about their own words.

Watched Hamnet last night...Oh boy, I think I cried through half that movie. And that young boy (Jacobi Jupe), what an amazing actor. Best acting performance I've seen all year.

The concept of feeling safe or right within a large community bubble is very real. Yes, I believe many troubling realities are exaggerated or fostered by large church expressions. Just arguing for sensitivity in how we address people drawn to those environments.

I love that the word problematic is problematic, which is problematic.

Possible idea. Fewer posts about the person next to you in a coffee shop, and more conversations with the person next to you in a coffee shop. Maybe? Possibly? Too much? Oh well...

I don't think it's constructive to critique mega-churches as only growing because superficial people are attracted to the expression. I've never been attracted to mega, but I think we would do well not to assume the worst about why people are attracted to certain communities & community expressions.

Sorrow is a strange fuel. Slow burning through the day, turning every thought inward, Impertinent to the boundaries of my heart. Creator of laments and love songs.

The more I stay away from social media, the more I am reminded that the agenda of social media is not the agenda of everyday life. When we use our best energy to engage with trending topics, we become bound to platforms that exist purely to profit from our engagement. Darkness trends.

There should be a chairlift competition in the Olympics with different rounds such as helping a child exit the lift.

If we got a winter and summer Olympics, then we need to have a fall Olympics for the lazy!

Call me old fashioned but I’m gonna vote for the person running against Hitler, every single time. This is an expression of my trend towards less Hitlerish politicians pragmatism.

Ever read a post that doesn’t sense but you because you think you sort of.
