United Airlines successfully installed Starlink on its first aircraft, and the promised speeds are up to 50 times faster The install time is seriously cut down

Damn. I’ve been loyal to #UnitedAirlines for about 10 years so this is disheartening. I really don’t want to change now that I’m on my way to Platinum status by summer, but I don’t want to support anything to do with EM.

First they came for the #Trans Soldiers, then the #LGBQ+ ones, then those with religious accommodations, then the #women, then the old ones, then the ones who didn’t have a 550+ ACFT, then there was no one left to fight & win our nation’s wars or lead the rest, & LSCO happened…and we were destroyed.

Good morning!

It's hard for my family to feel happy today knowing the hate and lies brewing. But we're so grateful for the family and friends in our lives. We wish you all a happy holiday.

Cherish your people. Remember what’s most important. Embody the Beatitudes. Love. Happy New Year! Happy 8th Day of Christmas and Hanukkah! (2/2) (photo of our small apartment Christmas tree)

In June, I’ll turn a year older than my mother, paternal grandmother, and maternal great-grandmother ever were. I’m intent on making 2025 (my pre-Golden year) the best yet and spending more time with loved ones, especially my partner, parents (MGM, Dad, and MIL), children, and grandchildren. (1/2)

We were in the same cohort in seminary and collaborated on a Christmas Coffeehouse worship service today—fun! Thanks Rev. Christiane and (almost) Rev. Shannon!

Sending you love, friend. 💜

(Cont 2/2) Some of my Soldiers have no families to go home to because either they were disowned for being LGBTQ+ or family is in another country. I keep thinking about how all of them will be impacted depending on how they are used or treated in the next few years…

Spent 4 days at military training with my unit and wanted to boost morale. You should have seen how excited these Soldiers were for a full service hot chocolate bar. This is some of the fun part of being a chaplain. It was worth every penny. All of my Soldiers were away from their families. (Cont.)

I don’t think anyone has ever exposed the puritanical hypocrisy of American evangelicalism or conservative American Christianity writ large better than Tony Campolo did when he made this point.

Resistance to cruelty begins by serving those who are the focus of others’ indifference. #mcoc #communityofhope

Well, this gets it exactly right, doesn’t it?
