Beautiful piece about an evangelical, socially conservative pastor coming to terms with the reality that his beloved son is gay: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Opinion | How My Dad Reconciled His God and His Gay Son
How did my dad go from hating homosexuality to imploding his church by embracing me? His journal entries show how he changed his mind.

This man is one of Marco Rubio's newest hires at the State Department. It's hard to even comprehend the mindset that says that he's qualified to represent the United States in any capacity at all.

I had the sweetest dream last night. I was driving on the LIE and there was Donald Trump in a red jumpsuit, picking up trash beside the highway.

Good piece by @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social.
"Trump’s friends can commit acts of violence on his behalf. Trump’s enemies have to face danger on their own. And that reality hovers over every presidential decision Trump makes." www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/o...

Anyone wondering whether the president was going to pick up from 2017 or 2021 can stop wondering.

Simple advice. Sooooo hard to do because he’s everywhere. But I’m gonna try!
As best you can, ignore him.

The Trump flip-flop on TikTok illustrates something that I've been arguing for a while. His supporters say he's "unpredictable," and that keeps our enemies on their toes.
Nope. He's manipulable, and that gives our enemies an advantage. China is seizing that advantage now.

I’m a college educator & though I expected Trump’s speech to be absolutely terrible, I felt it important to watch — to note this historical moment. It was far, far worse than I imagined & had to turn it off. 👇🏽👇🏽
I tried to tune into the inauguration, but all I get is some narcissistic convicted felon talking about how great and popular he is.

Don't let the inauguration push out MLK Day. This is a time to reread one of the great documents of American history, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Letter from Birmingham Jail. It has a writing power that is rarely equaled and never surpassed. www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen...

Sorry to hear about David Lynch. I worked beside him (same studio) while he was making BLUE VELVET. He answered my questions about his work with grace and honesty. I especially enjoyed his deeply existential comic strip, The Angriest Dog in the World.”
