Fun fact: For the movie Alien, they actually used a man in a practical suit because the studio was unable to afford a real Xenomorph.

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

chatgpt: That’s a great idea. Bringing up politics during Thanksgiving dinner is an easy, natural way to discuss sensitive issues that are not only timely and relevant, but important. Would you like me to create a list of conversation prompts that everyone will be sure to have an opinion on?

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

Proud of Colorado's election officials. This is seriously good to see.
NEW: Colorado’s county election clerks (majority Republican) implore Gov Polis (D) not to release Tina Peters to the Trump administration. Their joint letter says it would be a slap in the face to clerks who endure threats due to Peters’ election rigging conspiracy theories.

This kind of thinking is more common than I’d like to admit. But it’s foolish. William is basically suggesting that legality = justice.
But not only is that naive and historically ignorant, it’s contradictory to the entire pro-life logic he ascribes to (as do I). Legality ≠ justice.
