Have you ever seen a squirrel steal a GoPro, carry it up a tree, and then drop it? This video single-handedly changed my life.

Iowa Gov. candidate @ZachLahn (R) says data centers should not receive tax breaks: "$100 billion multi-national company does not need welfare from the people of Iowa. What they need to do is pay their fair share."

It's an important doctrine that doesn't thrive under conditions of atomistic exegesis. But once established via (a) and (b) above, it immensely enriches reading.

The doctrine of inseparable operations of the Trinity is (a) gathered from a widespread pattern of speech and also (b) deduced from principles like divine oneness & such. But it's not stated as a principle in a collected way. So it sort of teases the minds of some readers.

It is not true, no matter how many times the lie is repeated. And the arguments for it are pure sophistry, as I showed in this article: edwardfeser.blogspot.com/202…
Trump on Iran: "We didn’t start the war with Iran. Iran started the war with us." Do you mind if I copy that line?

Heads up, @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI. Rumor reaches my ears that you're doing a stupid thing, and should stop before you damage yourselves. I hear you've now nerfed your models so that when people try to use them to clean the spamware and spyware out of their televisions, you block that. If you really want Chinese open-weight models and open-source projects like OpenWaldo to eat your lunch, crippling your models so that people paying expensive subscriptions can't use them for completely legitimate purposes is a great way to accomplish this. If, on the other hand, you'd rather have a volume business, maybe stupid arbitrary restrictions that look like they have the sole purpose of protecting corporate sleazeballs aren't such a good idea. A word to the wise should be sufficient.

It’s really weird to watch conservatives who have claimed the government has lied to them them for the past 6 years fully accept a statement made by a government agency

All who are in Christ receive Him and all of His benefits. This is true of OT and NT saints when they believe.

Indeed, the way Jesus interpreted the Old Testament makes the conclusion of the Old Testament to be what we call Christianity.

Romans 5:8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

I highly doubt the test screenings have gone poorly for the reasons most people think. I imagine the story doesn’t make sense because, as I keep saying, ITS NOT THE FIRST BOOK. So much of TMN relies on knowledge from previous books.
Greta Gerwig’s $280 Million ‘Narnia’ Reportedly an ‘Awful’ Disaster as Netflix Scrambles to Fix Film “Netflix may have a $280 million problem on its hands. Just one day after Greta Gerwig’s controversial Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew trailer debuted, a new insider report alleges that the expensive fantasy adaptation has been plagued by disappointing test screenings, additional filming, and growing tensions behind the scenes.”

This post attempting to banter with my friends who disagree with me on the reading order of the Narnia books got way more traction than I intended. That’s really all this was. No need to correct me on Lewis, reliable news sources, or the real reason this movie will suck 😂

“Downgrades on Trinitarianism, simplicity, immutability, and impassibility are all as lethal as downgrades on Scripture and revelation in the long run for [protestant] orthodoxy.” Carl Trueman

The worst thing about this trailer? The Magician’s Nephew wasn’t the first story…
The first trailer for Greta Gerwig's ‘NARNIA’ has been released. In theaters on February 12, 2027.

.@ZachLahn: "I would like to make Iowa the first state in the country to eliminate property taxes on primary residence single family homes... The reason I want to do that is because I don't believe you should be renting your home from the government."

I dislike how it’s now just commonplace to see videos of awful things happening, casually shared, reshared, liked, plenty of mocking comments. The public space online is pretty dystopian at times. I don’t want to see someone’s terrifying last moments, especially not so casually.

We talk a lot about older couples modeling good marriage for young people, but I would also like young couples with good marriages to know that you can likewise be an encouraging model, even to single people.
