your political platform can’t just be against something, you have to be FOR something, and the thing you’re FOR has to be BETTER than the thing that IS

@drrachelbarr.bsky.social listening to your book 'How to Make Your Brain Your Best Friend'; it is beautiful, funny, engaging, and thoughtful. Just hit part where you share about your mom, and can hear the tears in your voice. You are much stronger than me. Thank you for sharing your heart and wisdom

I got @jesszafarris.bsky.social’s new book and I need to tell you it’s making my word nerd heart so happy. Etymology is my jam, probably because of all the spelling bees.

On this Esther Day (and everyday) remember to tell those you care about that you love them. Normalize sharing platonic and familial love.
I love you all (except for the nazis and fascists, douches, they get punched), go out and be better humans, and share some love

This is your reminder for those keeping score at home, the Republican Party in the US is now a nazi party run by fascists, authoritarians, and theocrats. The Democrat Party is now the new Republican Party, and both parties serve, and are controlled by oligarchs

This has long been the case and was absolutely instrumental in normalising the regime. It is antithetical to journalism itself to be that complacent towards authoritarianism. I don’t know what redeeming prospect there can be so far down the line.

my favorite aspect of how ANDOR ends is how the villains do suffer, but not at the hands of the protagonists, because fascism eats its own even while it has the upper hand

yes, ChatGPT is in schools; there are K-12 school districts and DOEs entering into AI contracts, too. so rather than panicking over the death of academia as a foregone conclusion—particularly when LLMs are frequently wrong—why don't we talk about the climate costs of AI?

I had the privilege of speaking a bit ago with my friend Jana Riess about my work & my new book, The Bible Says So (dropping TOMORROW). Her piece is available now in her Religion News Service column, Flunking Sainthood:

In first book, TikTok biblical scholar explains what the Bible really says about hot-button topics
(RNS) — ‘I get hate from across the entire spectrum of belief and nonbelief, which means I am right in the sweet spot,’ said biblical scholar and TikTok star Dan McClellan.

I don't use "impeachment" lightly. Aside from Trump, Marco Rubio **PIPED UP** to endorse flouting a court order, and said the only person who can make foreign policy is the president, which is incorrect in more ways than he can count. High crimes, dereliction of duty, constitutionally illiterate.
Absolutely not an exaggeration. High crimes and misdemeanors committed and endorsed in the Oval Office on live television.
The president is conducting a press event with the primary purpose of flouting the decisions of the courts and the letter and spirit of U.S. law. It is a press event to celebrate the Constitutional crisis and serial violation of human rights he has set in motion.

The lessons were already learned, that’s how the 1949 GCs came to be. But we have carved exemption after exemption and we have politicised to the point of meaninglessness. What to do? even speaking up gets you detained, worldwide.
