"The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles but to irrigate deserts. The right defence against false sentiments is to inculcate just sentiments. By starving the sensibility of our pupils we only make them easier prey to the propagandist when he comes." C. S. Lewis
How does she not realize this?
Why are people so obtuse in their belief that being a landlord means taking advantage of the poor?
Holy shit...this clip is unreal. Nithya Raman has absolutely NO clue about how housing works in LA. Oppenheim explains to her that landlords are losing money over the last decade and she's got ZERO idea what he's saying. This lady was chair of the Homelessness and Housing Committee for years and she's genuinely hearing this for the first time in her life. Unreal that this low IQ buffoon is about to be the Mayor. WTF are we doing.
It’s like you can watch her parents’ dawning realization:
//they’re doing it again. They’re choosing this Liz Biz delusion over spending the last few days with us and their children.//
Last week brought news of a death that has left my friend a widow at a very young age.
The death of death is one of the great promises of Christ’s resurrection— held in trust until His return.
There is a time coming when there will be no more goodbyes.
This was a nightly joy for me as I came of age.
Every night on public access TV, there were back to back episodes @ 9:00 and 9:30.

The consensus take is that Elizabeth Holmes is indeed a master manipulator, but the more interesting thing the movie explores is that people who do bad things rarely view themselves as bad people. Rather, they operate under layers of cognitive dissonance, self-deception, and rationalization
This disconnect is the central plot point and it drives Nathan and the rest of the crew insane because of how unshakable and earnest the belief in their mission are
Fair Q but also Trump has been spending a loooooot of time in Red Texas this year.
Barack Obama is in Michigan. Kamala Harris is in New Hampshire. If Democrats are really running away with this election, what are their top surrogates doing in states they’re already supposed to win?

Differentiating between masculine behavior and sinful behavior can sometimes be a challenge as a young mom.
If you have little boys, it's really good to get clear on the difference --
Boys are exhilarating, competitive, often noisy. Let boys be boys without punishment.
Dear Mamas of boys,
I know. I know you can't see this right now. You probably can't even imagine the possibility.
But someday, very soon, that noisy, combative, dirty, destructive, daredevil that sometimes has you exhausted, confused, and at your wits end will,
hear me out now
be sitting next to you and his own wife in church, cradling his own sleeping son, listening to the Word preached so he can lead his own family in obedience to Christ.
It's the craziest recipe for success in the world but the noise and combat and dirt and destruction and breathless daring are the exact ingredients God chose to create men who will build successful business, provide for and protect growing families, and serve His church.
If you squelch what is natural in the boy, you may also be hindering what is intended in the man.
Discipline sinful behavior yes, but not masculine behavior. It may be challenging to live with now, but this morning as I was sitting in that pew next to my 19 y.o son and his little family it hit me how fast God turns what little boys are made of into the stuff of men.
That Elizabeth Holmes documentary is whack, y’all.
Left the theater with lots to think about. Troubling but fascinating.

Socialists say capitalism hurt the poor.
But it doesn’t!
For thousands of years, everyone was poor. Only when countries tried capitalism, did wealth grow.
"A higher standard of living comes from trading with one another," says @SteveForbesCEO of @Forbes.
Here's why:
Excellent interview with Jeff Meek:

Goodness what a fun convo! I learned a lot.

Good morning to everyone except for whoever is responsible for this creature crawling back out of her hole and inflicting us with the sound of her voice again
Kamala tried out a motivational quote in Mississippi:
"Never let someone else's limited ability to see your capacity be a limitation on your ambition."
The reaction was so muted she had to try it again.
"Let me repeat that..."
She actually thinks this stuff is brilliant and is amazed when no one else does.
