I'm headed to the woods for a camping excursion on the Pacific Coast with the family. Which book should I bring? This one was calling to me from the shelf. Off to the wild wood on the edge of the world, with toddlers, we go.
A solid case for @elonmusk to buy Disney. He had me at retcon Disney Star Wars movies.
Elon please buy Disney If you buy Disney - you can save the kids from evil propaganda - you will own Star Wars - You can save the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, that they will inevitably ruin next - You will legally be able to manufacture an X-Wing fighter and Star…

In 2020, I wrote a story “Queen of the Night” about a man who took the largest personal loan in the history of the world to buy an established web that connected the world. Then, he offered the new tech that he added for free so everyone would get hooked. But the power he gave,…
Super helpful distinction:
It is very important for those who follow @PageauJonathan to understand when reading C.S. Lewis that he dos NOT use the word 'symbolism' in the same way as Jonathan does. Lewis, following the conventions of his discipline (Literature) in the 20th century, uses 'symbolism' as…
I haven't watch a show this good since Firefly. Both Andor and Firefly developed beloved characters, created detailed sets, and combined aesthetics and action unlike anything else. And both drew us in and left us wanting more - Firefly (14 episodes), Andor (24 episodes).

A must-listen. One of my favorite essays by C.S. Lewis put to song. Neil, my friend, you pulled it off. @dirtpoorrobins

"Low expectations are a soft tyrant on kids." 💯 I don't think we realize how low we set the ceiling for kids. When I lift it higher, they amaze me every time. Though, there are certain situations where kids must learn foundational principles to achieve advanced mastery.
Kids can handle way more than most people realize. When I used to teach martial arts, the parents of the students always wondered how we were able to get them to listen and respond so well. It’s amazing what youngsters are capable of when you don’t infantilize them. Treat them…
Let's all decorate eggs for Easter this year. @PageauJonathan - "How's this?"
Sorry to those who asked for icons, crosses just seemed more appropriate for the composition. Jesus Christ Conquers!
One of the most profound theological arguments of all time. Well, of our flipped-flopped times, at least.
If Jesus' Resurrection Were A Hoax
