The missing ingredient of American education… [checks notes]… Tony Robbins.
The only correct response.
The new model: teachers who don't teach inspiring students who don't learn. #Winning
Is the cost too high to break with the pop culture now?
Narrator: They will.

It was a catch.
Live look at Jerry and Stephen managing personnel.
I hate my favourite team. Hate. With a passionate hatred.
This humiliating exposé was published exactly 11 years ago today, and the words somehow keep becoming even truer every single year. #ESPNKnew www.espn.com/espn/feature...
Where's Canada on this list? #ElbowsUp
Note: this is not a prayer for the nation of Israel and does not represent support for the atrocities and genocide being committed in Gaza.
My hope-filled prayer for today.
Counterpoint for the DNC: be a party that people will enthusiastically post about for free.
A Morning Prayer: O Lord, help me to perceive how you are at work in this broken world, the empirical evidence notwithstanding, so that I might live in hope this day. I pray this in the name of the Just and Merciful God. Amen. (“Prayers for the Pilgrimage”)
That you are simultaneously madly in love with.
As the new manager, I promise that this is the only kind of meeting I will call.
Just saw someone use the word "Hatriots" for the first time and it is now a permanent entry into my lexicon.
Smug bastard
Lower case i is son of a bitch.

Live look at his temptress today.
(For my American friends, timbits = doughnut holes or munchkins.)
Hats off to the dude at the bus stop sitting all by himself and diligently working his way through a 20 pack of timbits.
With the right five reposts, he will.
By contrast, the entirety of Chapter 31 of Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes.
Why should the future be better/different than the present?
The first word of the headline tells you literally everything you need to know. The rest is just elaboration. Hilarious, glorious elaboration.
Good negotiating. 😂

Sadly the parliamentarian ruled that the vote violated the revival by-laws.
It’s sad to hear that Trump’s campaign of niceness may soon be coming to an end.
Haha I read milkweed and thought silkworm (which these are not) and my brain derailed from there.
This is the milkworm locker room
Taste is a function of the soul. Being devoid of the one means being devoid of the other.
“White House officials suggested that they are open to actually including all the relevant parties to a peace treaty, rather than simply letting two fascists carve up Ukraine for their mutual benefit” Fixed it
“Our problem is how to live what we pray, how to make our lives a daily commentary on our prayer book, how to live in consonance with what we promise, how to keep faith with the vision we pronounce.” -Abraham Joshua Heschel
My wife consistently delegates this task to me, precisely to avoid this fate. I save up my energy for days before attempting this feat.
Came here for this
She doesn’t value getting flowers in general, but when she does she is a straight up calla lily girl.
My wife hates roses. You are not alone.
Steph Curry is 6’3. He plays in the NBA where LeBron is 6’9, Kevin Durant is 7’0, and Victor Wembanyama is 7’3. Is that fair? No. But fairness in sports is a silly idea. There’s always someone faster & stronger. This is why your debates about fairness in sports is only about hurting trans people.
Spud Webb says, this argument is a...
@yourmandevine.bsky.social justice called America “A confederacy of Beavises” and nothing else captures it quite so completely and succinctly.
I wish any of that mattered. sigh.
As an Albertan transplant from Ontario, I am very conflicted about this idea. But as wild as it is to say, I am definitely inclined to agree.
Wilson? 😂
Prepare yourself to be proven very, very correct.
Ironically (to their proselytizing intent), when you're not trying to be noticed, people notice and it draws interest. A group of friends and I used to meet for beers in quiet local pub to talk about life and faith. We sat in the corner and minded our own business, and people came over and joined us
I am sure that this is an incomplete answer but at least one aspect is the performative nature of it. It is a marketing move as much as anything else, some of the time. You can tell when people just met in a convenient third space for a private conversation about the Bible, and when they didn’t.
They don’t get a bad back because if they report a bad back to their boss they are immediately sent back to their home country and are never invited back to the States to work ever again and lose their entire income and the chance to make a generational difference for their family.”
As a Cowboys fan, they really only have three problems to address: 1. The GM, 2. The President, 3. The owner.
I genuinely read "comic" as "comedian," referring to people like John Crist, Michael Jr, Tim Hawkins. And honestly, your tweet was perfectly legible in that frame as well.

Imagine feeling so insecure about your weak ass, mediocre, white masculinity that you have to lock up or ship out all the racial minorities and banish the women back into the kitchen just so you can feel like a big, strong man.

Grok is incapable of independent thought. What are we even talking about here?
Funny, because I can definitely tell who it WASN'T.
I don't think so. I think Post uses Alphabits to train it's LLM, but it's hard to train one just with Special K.
Anyone want to grab drinks in the metaverse after work?
@revdaniel.bsky.social is a Toronto-based Anglican priest and all around great human. I have some Hamilton and Niagara connections as well.
What else am I supposed to do if my own name doesn't come up? I mean, I gotta be mad at something!
Newsom is excellent
When it comes to the "later Christian interpretation" that leads to Rapture theology, "later" really should be in all caps. lol
I always check bestcommentaries.com/daniel/ and I'd guess that your safest bests are those that are technical, Catholic, and/or amillennial. If it were me, Goldingay and Collins would be my picks. I'd peak at Duguid. Being Reformed, you know that you're not getting Kirk Cameron in the mix.
How do I not own one of these?
I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT!!
Remember segways? Me neither.
The older I get the righter George Carlin gets.
Here’s an infuriating example. People sleep on this corner forever bc the ventilation system located just above the sidewalk keeps them warm in -30°C temps. So whomever owns the building had the vent raised to 12’ so the unhoused couldn’t reap any benefit from its warmth. Punished for poverty. 😡🤬
I hate the way that it has been normalized that our civic landscape should be designed to punish the unhoused for being h housed. The bench that is too short to sleep on and has an armrest in the middle to discourage trying.
And the answer is always pluriform.
MIT just pubbed a study on ChatGPT users. “Brain scans revealed neural connection collapse... a 47% reduction in brain connectivity. When researchers forced ChatGPT users to write w/o AI, they performed worse than people who never used AI at all. It's not just dependency. It's cognitive atrophy.”
In all seriousness, if you plan to move ahead, please don’t pay to do a PhD. Find a school that will pay you. You don’t need the financial strain in addition to everything else.
And jobs.
Duolingo goes hard!
There's actually a 100% chance that negotiations may or may not take place. That's more than substantial.

I had an artist friend once who said, "If you *can't* accurately judge a book by its cover, the editor should be fired."
A distinction without a difference.

Being from Canada, which is only 157 years old, I'm pretty chill with being attacked. Once we become Americans, I'll be a bit more annoyed by it, I reckon.
