Bryan Stevenson convinced me on this one. The question isn't whether someone deserves to die, it's whether the rest of us deserve to kill. (When we are fallible, prone to bias and blind spots, etc.)

My 18yo son and I talk a LOT about sports gambling. It hits all the right buttons for a sports fan without a fully developed frontal cortex. I'm pretty sure he gets it, but I loathe how families are left holding the bag while multi-billion dollar companies get richer.

It's like the "your call is important to us" shtick. You can say that, but if my call was really important you'd be paying someone to pick up the phone and talk to me.

I know Americans are distracted by many things (and often just busy with our lives), but there should be a way to notice "here are the things the party that had all the power could have meaningfully acted upon and chose not to." Yet the party insists it cares about those issues come election time.

My on-deck name for a cat is Raoul. Kind of a cat onomatopoeia.

Vivid childhood memory here of staring sadly at a half eaten bowl of grape nuts that I had to finish. All the milk had absorbed into the cereal. Like eating mouthfuls of gravel. But astonishingly, homemade grape nut ice cream is the GOAT. It's rare to find it, but give it a go if you do.

I don't know how to boost this, but it needs to be known. What our government is doing to Haitians is shameful.

One of my son's former high school teammates, who is Haitian, committed suicide today because of the shame of wearing an ankle monitor. His family wants people to know. His name was Pierre. He wanted to go to Wright State and become a doctor.

Imagination Library is generally funded by local community funders such as United Way chapters, not by Dolly herself, so I'm hopeful that it won't. Amazing legacy!

Came here to mention this. Just take a look at all the US presidents and family members of presidents who died WHILE LIVING IN THE WHITE HOUSE with the best medical care available at the time, if you want to reaffirm your belief in the benefits of modern medicine.

I had a middle seat on my last overseas flight and I was *this close* to getting the vacant aisle seat. But then my dude showed up right before the doors closed. He was like 6'6" and we elbow dueled for the arm rest all the way across the Atlantic.

There's a whole lot of meritocracy woven into most American Christian beliefs, so much that it's hard to see it and hard to unweave it.

For the life of me, I do not understand how it helps the Buc-ee's brand to go after mom and pop businesses with Microsoft clip art animal mascots. Especially one in a city named for beavers where everything is beaver-themed. www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/buc-ee...

I was shopping for a Bible cover for a family member today and uh... apparently you can buy a Tactical Bible cover. For the devout militia member in your life, I guess? Who no doubt attends worship at a cathedral?

So many possible outcomes! At least there's no draws at this stage though. One time while watching a 0-0 game I distracted myself by calculating how much of my life I've spent watching soccer. I think it ended 0-0.

I have watched a lot of soccer and I can tell you that the real key to winning is to score some goals and then not let the other team score that many goals. I don't know why more teams don't use this strategy.

Very much to my career now. All my experience has helped build to where I am now. That said, I have a kid negotiating this exact process now (graduating hs and starting college.) I'm a little pessimistic about his major choice, but I think the right college can help kids pivot. +

I'm happy in my career path but it hasn't been a straight line at all, more like taking the next right step each time. People change and we have flexibility to change careers now. My liberal arts degree was VERY good at developing my analytical and critical thinking skills which contribute +

Greed is also, if I recall correctly, the sin Jesus talks about most in the Gospels. (Not always using that specific word, but including references to money, wealth, poverty, etc.) Yet seems to be the sin (white evangelical) Christians are most blinded to in western culture.

There's definitely a feeling of "been there done that" and knowing it's probably just empty threats ... but evacuating the entire city school district on Monday was HARD on thousands of people, staff and families of both.
