Threads is a funny place.

The author of The Muppets Christmas Carol was born on this day in 1812–here’s a photo of his grave I took in Westminster Abbey.

I don’t know—maybe we should ask defenders of the president’s post to explain how it’s NOT racist… oh the mental gymnastics would be worthy of the Olympics.

Today I filmed a video course at John Street United Methodist Church in Manhattan for the General Commission on Archives and History of the United Methodist Church. The course will be on the 250th anniversary of the United States of America and early Methodism.

This means democracy will finally fall tomorrow, damn. Vocalizing things like this is dangerous in these times. 😂

History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.

A historic day for The Church of England and indeed all of Christendom as the new Archbishop of Canterbury, the first woman to hold the role, pays homage to King Charles III. 🇬🇧

Review | ‘The Muppet Show’ refuses to modernize in its triumphant revival — The Washington Post On the 50th anniversary of Jim Henson’s show, the Muppets — with a boost from guest star Sabrina Carpenter — pick up exactly where they left off.

This review’s headline doesn’t do the review justice. The review was almost entirely what I thought about watching this. It did me good to see The Muppet Show back on air.

God, who endowed humans with reasoning and skill, grant that we may continue the yearly observance of assuming a large rodent-like creature has the foresight of meteorological ability for a season. This we ask through the intercession of St. Philip of Punxsutawney. Amen.

A friend sent me nighttime snow pictures of the church our family attends. It’s stunning normally but especially in the snow. ❄️

We’re camped out with my parents this weekend for the snowstorm, a Lee family tradition we hold fast to every chance we get. My dad piloted his drone earlier today over the area. He snapped some cool photos.

His Majesty King Charles III cheering 5k runners on in Sandringham as they run for a cancer charity made me happy.

Where has this Thom Tillis been? Hell hath no fury like a scorned North Carolinian.

“O Lord, support us all the day long
till the shadows lengthen
and the evening comes
and the busy world is hushed
and the fever of life is over
and our work is done.
Then in your mercy,

A true legend. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

I'm deeply concerned with Don Lemon's arrest last night in conjunction with his recent coverage of a protest in a Minnesota church. This arrest isn't the right way of doing things and we all deserve better because of the precedence it sets.

You see, I already know the ending. Good wins. Peace prevails. The dragon is slayed and the sword is raised. But first we must go through the part of the story where the plot has not yet twisted. The battle is not yet won. The storm is raging. The tower is locked. The apple is poisoned. The wolf is ready and waiting in bed, wearing grandmother’s clothing. But I already know the ending.

Worthy of your time this morning.

Every App State student, alum, and faculty should be ashamed…

A friendly reminder that Kanye West’s linking of his bipolar disorder to his antisemitism is dangerous on all kinds of levels… Not the least of which to all kinds of folk with bipolar disorder, including me, who live reasonable lives free from antisemitic outbursts.

I went to a store for an order and forgot my wallet. I saw a sign that said if you’re under 40 you will be carded. I started making all kinds of excuses in my head so they’d put the wine back and refund me.

Let’s just say I was incredibly humbled when they handed me my groceries, no ID needed. 👴🏻
