@kellycarlin.bsky.social If you want to hear the academic equivalent (almost literally) of your dad’s Joe Pesci bit, start at around 6:25 and listen to Dr. Ehrman’s opening. You can skip the rest.
Ehrman is a born again atheist, and smart. Just like your dad.

A treat finding an author I had to read in grad school in the wild.
Especially when he established a cognizable line for me between populism vs. not populism on a very nuanced point.

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

1995 was a big year for ass-wipe Gingrich. He’s so famous for that cleavage, he’s in every first year poly sci textbook for it.
If anyone watches, keep the phrase “party purity” in mind as you do.

I do not love my enemies.
Any time I am tempted by Christianity, I think of this phrase and remember that no part of me loves my enemies.
And no part of me wants to.
Respect their talents? Sure.
But love? Never.

We’re doing “love your enemies” with the kids in sunday school today. I will be very very honest when I tell them it is a thing I struggle with in my life!!!

For all the "what do you expect them to do??" folks, here's another one: Since they can't win votes, Democrats should focus on shaping operations.
In the Army, shaping operations create conditions for the success of a future decisive operation. They are vital in war *and* politics.

Looking for my first literary agent.
Real memoir. Please don’t let the Speechify voice scare you away. It’s the best I can do now.
This one sounds too gruff for me. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe it separates the raw from the sophistication.
Any agents?
