The fact that a quasi-famous theologian shifting from the Baptist tradition to Presbyterianism causes a disturbance in the force is gnat-straining at its best. Memo to all: your pseudo-intellectual debates on "who deserves to be called reformed" are drivel.

Hoisted with their own petard: the backlash consequence of evangelicals being responsible (due to their weak-minded susceptibility to his crass pandering) for electing the most immoral pathological liar in the history of the White House will be the most left-wing congress ever.

Just watched the Nixon-Kennedy 1960 presidential debate. It was depressing. Why? Because it clearly shows how our political discourse has degraded from rational discussion to uncharted depths of anti-intellectual tripe. We've fallen a long, long way.

My university is looking for ways to reduce costs, including reducing faculty count. I'm waiting for them to send a wise guy to whisper in my ear: "Remember, you're only tenured for life."

The scale in the locker room at my gym is a filthy liar and a minion of the antichrist.
It had to be said.

I've been coding with ChatGPT's help for about a year. Now I'm trying Claude Code and I feel like I'm cheating on chatGPT. This is a red flag

I've identified a new type of software developer angst-- when a new ChatGPT model makes you suspicious of all the mission-critical code you committed using the previous model. itbrief.com.au/story/openai-… – at Newport News, VA

📸 What a moment at the Cheney funeral. A light hearted exchange between old political rivals George W. Bush and Al Gore had President @JoeBiden and @DrBiden laughing along.
It felt like a glimpse of the country we used to be, and the country we could still be without the constant chaos Donald Trump injected into our politics.
A somewhat celebrity pastor has admitted adultery and has issued an unusually blunt and sincere confession. All over X people are rightly saying they will pray for him, his family, and his church. But I haven't read were anyone included the woman in their promise to pray.

Just graded an exam. I'm pleased with the results. But once again I am reminded of the adage: "They don't pay us to teach, we do that for free. They pay us to grade."

I've taught intro to special relativity a gazillion times. It still amazes me that with the assumption that the speed of light is the same for all observers and the Pythagorean theorem, you can trivially derive time dilation and length contraction. No higher math needed. – at Newport News, VA

Mark 8:34 (& parallel vs.) is the "take up your cross &follow me" discipleship instruction. It's theologically profound-- demanding a willingness, not just acceptance, of suffering for Christ. But historically it shows "the cross" as part of the vernacular before His crucifixion.
