220 years ago today, in Königsberg; the great Kant, laid his head down to rest for eternity. #Kant
'Do we really want to maintain a system that enables a man like Donald Trump to eclipse both Congress and the judiciary?' - @DavidAFrench nytimes.com/2024/01/21/opi…
Cowards will endorse Trump. We could use some heroism from those who know better.

"Like Pharaoh I have a hard heart that only responds by having the shit kicked out of it." - Stanley Hauerwas (from here: jsr.shanti.virginia.edu/back-issues/vo…)
The MOST DISAPPOINTING THING ABOUT TRUMP is that all of the Christians who once told us we couldn’t live like Trump or vote for someone like him… now LIVE like him, TALK like him, ACT like him, & VOTE for him. They WERE RIGHT about one thing: You become what and who you love.
Fr Alexey Uminsky, who was since 1993 rector of Moscow Life Giving Trinity Church and one of the most influential priests in Russia was suspended by Patriarch Kirill and removed from his office as a rector due to his outspoken antiwar stance.

I guess we're doing this now too. The issue with the original tweet is twofold: the first problem is of 'Latinity' - sure the Romans have a word, but how do they use it? Is it common? What are its most common uses? The second is the failure to grasp Roman self-perception. 1/

I wrote about the Claudine Gay fiasco. Harvard’s president is not the real story. The real story is that academics and journalists have spent the last few weeks debasing our professions by insisting that plagiarism isn’t plagiarism. That it doesn’t matter. That we all do it. 🧵

Christ announces (Lk. 6:21) the laughter that comes from joy and cheerfulness, as Scripture says in the Book of Job (8:21): He will fill the truthful mouth with laughter …
Recent congressional hearings in the US have created a broader willingness to look at higher eds ideology problem. University leadership has reached an inflection point that I’ll try to explain here in simple terms. THREAD
For adults as for children, humility doesn’t mean thinking less of ourselves. Rather, it means thinking of ourselves less: by turning outwards, towards God and towards our neighbors. Humility is not losing ourselves but gaining a world. open.substack.com/pub/markrandal…
I think Paul is unequivocal that celibacy is "better" than marriage in 1 Corinthians 7:38. Yet it only follows from this that he expects early Christians to be celibate *if* he expects everyone to choose the "better." I don't think he does.
Reform plan for higher ed: fire administrators and spend the money you save making adjuncts full professors, 1 to 1, until until you get back to 1998 student to administrator ratios. (My friends and I all started college then. It was fine.)
“We historians would like to say that it’s because we speak truth to power, but perhaps the truth is that we are afraid to do so when it endangers our reputations or politics. I’m nervous just writing this review.” hedgehogreview.com/issues/theolog… via @hedgehogreview
In some places we are nominally culturally Christian and in others we are thoroughly post-Christian, but a true and scandalous display of difficult Christian virtue is always a shock to the system that turns these out. Forgiveness & love of enemy are, still, scandalous.

Why does the Battle for Bakhmut matter? By following @secretsqrl123 , who doesn't need the source "trust me bro" because we have the Sentinel satellites, if we need to see how the Russian troops are moving on the front, I found out that the Russians want to bring at least 2…
There's so much media lying about what the "303 Creative" case was about. No, it was not about denial of service to people based on their sexual identity. It was reaffirmation that the State cannot compel you into expressing things you do not wish to express. We should ALL want…
