Missing from all the Narnia discussions is that there’s an amazing Narnia adaptation that’s already been created and just needs the Lewis Estate’s approval. Stop giving us Narnia movies and publish The Stone Table!

I spent yesterday soaking in this new logo. As a former graphic designer I can tell you that this logo reveals more about the upcoming film than any details so far. Hopefully I’ll make a video about it this week!

Now we're having AI defend our positions on theology...aside from the AI sycophancy problem, letting AI think for us with regard to how we should be reading Scripture is a bad idea. This needs to stop.

This is simply a lexical fallacy.
You cannot determine the meaning of a theological term by looking up one word in the dictionary and importing every possible synonym into the term.
“Total depravity” has a defined theological meaning. “Total” refers to the extent of sin’s corruption. It reaches every faculty of man, mind, will, affections, and body. It does not mean the degree of corruption is as great as it could possibly be.
This distinction is centuries old. Calvinists are not suddenly redefining words to escape your argument.
Substituting “absolute” for “total” does nothing to address the doctrine itself.
Before debating whether total depravity is biblical, you first have to represent what total depravity actually teaches.

As an American, it infuriates me that Congress can spend time on this but not legislation for a balanced budget, energy independence, lowering the debt ceiling, reducing our taxes, abolishing abortion, reforming the education system, and securing our supply chains.
The US House has voted to pass a measure to enact year-round Daylight Saving Time across the country, springing Congress forward into an issue that has long stumped lawmakers and spurred impassioned pleas by parents, farmers and others with sharply divergent views. It will now head to the Senate for approval before going to the president for his signature — though its chances in the upper chamber remain unclear. cnn.it/4pom6fY

Standard Time vs Daylight Saving Time is an IQ test.
The US House of Representatives just failed it.

Moms. We want permanent standard time, yes? Anyone who wants DST plays golf and doesn’t give a hoot about families. They don’t have a toddler to get to sleep while it’s still light!
We already tried it in 1972. Everyone hated it. Lasted what, 3 months?

People are going to be so insufferable in this era.
"I can vibe code this; the product is worthless."
As if running a business and selling a product were just code.

A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas & home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.

Stop the twice-a-year clock change.
Standard time was the U.S. norm until 1918. Permanent DST was tried in 1974 and abandoned after public backlash and safety concerns. Shifting clocks doesn’t change sunrise or sunset, only our body clocks.
Make standard time year-round. | William Shughart

There is no need to go through the stupidest ritual of modern life next weekend. More daylight is coming this month without the foolishness of changing our clocks. @SaveStandard Time!
Brighter days ahead! ☀️ Northern areas, including Seattle, gain over 100 minutes of daylight in March!
While daylight saving time begins on March 8, the month's biggest change is the rapid increase in daylight. bit.ly/4snpLeq

My threshold for the plausibility of AI film-making is if anyone is able to use AI to create a cinematic version of The Last Battle of the Chronicles of Narnia
I don't even mean the entire book. I mean literally the last battle. From when Shift the Ape tells the animals that Tashlan will no longer appear to them to the moment Prince Tirian flings himself into the stable.
This is a well-contained scene. It has a few well-defined characters, it takes place in a single space, and it's a reasonably short duration. You could probably pull it off with about 15 minutes of screen time.
The scene is tremendously cinematic. It's tremendously dark and sad... too dark for anyone to ever make it into a real film. "Narnia" is a kids series but "Last Battle" is about honor and dignity and the duty to fight evil even when you know evil will win. No one is going to turn that into a movie.
To me, AI filmmaking will be real when it can be used to tell these stories. Otherwise, it's another toy.

The popularity of pastors with podcasts who spend it doing nothing but reacting and “owning” people has to be one of the most unattractive things recently about the American church. There’s something so deeply narcissistic and arrogant to think you’re an expert on every topic you cover on a podcast and that everyone you’re reacting to is wrong.

To vote yes on this would be absolutely insane, yet nearly every Republican voted to pretend that a day is not a day.

You should be less worried about how often Massie votes against Republicans and more concerned about often Republicans vote against Massie.

This is juvenile-level trolling and beneath the office of the President.
It's also incendiary and not doing anything to persuade anyone about our first amendment's guarantee of religious liberty. It arouses hostility and is completely counter-productive.
This isn't a joke. Do better.
