Also, let me just say, I don’t actually think imprecatory thoughts or feelings are inherently immoral. They’re not noble, and you probably shouldn’t relish in them, but they’re a very human reaction. Spinning them into a murder board? It’s not healthy.

Mistaken identities can occasionally be a pretty good thing for art survival. The only reason we have the bronze and gilded Marcus Aurelius equestrian statue is because early Christians thought it was Constantine. So let’s not think the Christians were into stoicism in Late Antiquity, Sto Bros.

Joshua Eaton (@joshuaeaton.bsky.social)
Old age, sickness and death come for all of us soon enough — and that’s if we’re lucky. We can’t *really* control how or when that will happen. Nor can we control how other people will use their lives in the meantime. What we can control is how we use the time we’re given. (I suggesting posting.)

When I lived in Middletown, it was pretty much completely inaccessible by train. And this is in Connecticut, which I feel like many people think of as kind of a state-sized commuter rail stop.

I live a short walk to two (2) train stations here in New Haven. I gladly take the train to New York City often. But it’s a good hour slower than driving. More if I had to drive to the station from a suburb and park.

Many people are likely to assume something like this has to due with budget cuts or policy changes by the new administration. It’s irresponsible to let that assumption linger — or, worse yet, milk it for engagement — without providing context.

Last time I visited mom’s grave, I’d just heard this hymn and grown obsessed with it. She’d have loved it too, so I pulled it up on my phone and played it as I sat next to her headstone. “Weakness shall the strong confound; / By the hands in grave clothes wound / Adam's chains shall be unbound.”

I’m *not* weighing in on the merits of any of these political or policy debates. But I will say I’ve always found the “the NRA buys off Congress” argument too pat. Does anyone think politicians would flip their positions on guns if the other side just outspent the NRA on campaign contributions?
