I saw a sign yesterday advertising the β€œMcFlurpy.” I wonder if they’re any good.

I'm disappointed to see California voted to gerrymander. The way to oppose something wrong is not to jump into the mud with it.

Data standards and interoperability facilitate data generating platforms, common data models, creation of flat data files, and AI algorithms (and usefulness of those AI tools). #aahsl25

I believe Donald Trump is the best president since Grover Cleveland for designing a ballroom.

I've been thinking about values and principles recently, and how those inform our political beliefs and practices.

Truth.

Life.

The transcendent and the supernatural.

I think most of my political opinions are connected to 1+ of these, but even as I write this, I think my list is incomplete.

"Trust is out, tribalism in. Reasoned argument has been replaced by unargued assertion and attack, while the rhetoric of protest, pronouncements, and posturing has drowned that of persuasion." -Os Guinness, "The American Hour," 1993

"The problem with some North American evangelicals is that they are not asking what is right and what is wrong. Rather they are asking what is Right and what is Left- even though the latter question is far less biblical than the former." -Peter Kusmic

I was talking with a friend recently who mentioned the recent deepfakes/memes President Trump has been posting of various Democrats.

On one hand: the President of the United States should behave with more dignity and integrity than this.

On the other hand: Democrats should not feed the trolls.
