@drose Yeah I hear you. This one manages to sit in the background for me pretty well when I’m working. I also love his soundtrack for The BQE, need to give that a spin again soon.
@dwcongdon.com Oh, that’s so gross. But pretty on brand for TGC and Reformed Evangelicalism generally.
@patrickrhone Oh, man, 100% this. People think I do magic with computers; usually it just means I can make better Google queries and weed through the answers quickly.
@jeremymdoan.info Hopefully this is some sort of holiday-themed cocktail.
@misty.granades.com My own history with U2 is bumpier; my fundamentalist self was scandalized by my cousin’s Achtung Baby poster when I was a kid. Really got into them when ATYCLB dropped. Had tix for Joshua Tree 20th tour and show got cancelled due to racial justice protests in town that day.
@misty.granades.com Dang it, now I’m turning on some U2 this morning.
@frankm Cynically, this is about what I expect from the front office. They are in it just enough to be competitive, but not willing to write the checks they need to if they want to win.
@Miraz It’s definitely still a product of its time, and yet optimistic and progressive the way the best Star Trek is. And there’s no one better than Captain Picard.
@joshuapsteele He doesn’t, really. The beginning of the book is the most compelling, and then it’s all downhill.
@chrishubbs.com Well hey six days is still within the return window… if that’s all it takes to trigger it I’ll go buy a new one this afternoon.
@dbernstein.bsky.social He gets it every year. After he dies, it gets named after him.
@ReaderJohn Yes, the pentagon was a new one to me, too.
@cludub.bsky.social It’s my favorite! I’ll be there next week to use it.
@dandb Yes, pretty much this. Which is what I grew up in, and what so many of the public exvangelical types came from. Which is why his piece feels so disingenuous in its framing.
@cjhubbs I am glad for his church experience growing up and wish more young people had it. But he’s intentionally poking at exvangelicals all the way through the piece. It’s not charitable.

@brent-thomas.bsky.social It’s like Larry the Cucumber became Catbus…
@wendyqualls.bsky.social My oldest daughter has a Wrapped list full of artists I’ve never heard of. My youngest’s is full of Broadway showtunes. Mine is basically just my running playlist. 😂
@frankm Congratulations on your retirement!
@chrishubbs.com Thank you for your work.
@mtrkdjoyce.bsky.social No shade on Mthrs Kara or Kelli, but after growing up in neo-Cal churches, in my adulthood I found Marilynne Robinson to be the person who actually made Calvin seem appealing.
@mtrkdjoyce.bsky.social That is a judo move I have never seen on Limited Atonement before… I am in awe. (And I am HERE FOR IT.)
@bethanyh Penn State is struggling, but still apparently a Top 25 team! But Nebraska looks amazing.
@carnage4life.bsky.social Been writing safety-critical software for 25 years and damn right we check the output of the compiler.
@chrishubbs.com I mean, it’ll make for great television, lots of stories to report on, good Instagram content… and probably some good basketball. But it seems waaaaay too convenient to have been random.
