Reading ahead for this Audible Podcast that drops on Sept 24. I finished the 1st selection, James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time. Curious what Prez/guest(s) will say about this. Click below for my initial thoughts. Next up, Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon. mosessister.net/a-great-book…

This is what @XfinitySupport service looks like. This cable has been lying on the ground in our yard for 6 weeks. We have to put it up like this to mow. I keep opening tickets, they close them without completing the work. Terrible cable provider.

My cable has been lying on the ground for 42 days. I’ve opened tickets twice to get it reburied, the tickets get closed, work has not been completed. I’ve literally spent HOURS chatting with live agents trying to get this resolved. Terrible service. @XfinitySupport

In addition to a desire for civil dialog, I desire thoughtful dialog. Not to be had here, evidently. He just dismisses what he disagrees with by saying “nonsense.” 😆 I had a higher opinion of him before this. Oh, well.
1) Hasn’t been given the chance to defend? He has a Twitter account. He can defend any time he wants. He hadn’t because it’s indefensible. 2) Nonsense.

Very disappointed in the @Macys windows this year. The window displays used to be something children could enjoy. Not this year. What is this? LOL. #chicagolightfestival #marshallfields

Our SleepNumber beds, Bird Buddy, Ring, printer went offline. After a few days of unsuccessful troubleshooting, called my cable provider. @Xfinity has a recorded message about upgrades, they might need to reboot our modem. WHY wouldn’t they proactively communicate this? Oy vey…

Just wasted 45 mins trying to ride @onepeloton . I installed the latest update and now my Apple Watch won’t connect. It took 45 mins to connect to support, and they require some other unspecified amount of time to troubleshoot. I gave up. Does Peloton even test their updates? LOL

I don’t understand why I can’t sort or alphabetize the Recipe Box. I use the website since @MyFitnessPal was never able to make the app work for me. Yes, there is a open ticket. For 2+ years. I would dump it, except I have so much invested in it. 4+ years of history/recipes. Ugh.

I just spent 30 mins on the phone with @TMobile only for them to tell me there’s a “update” which is why I cannot view/print a statement for the past 2 weeks? What a disaster.

Authoritarians on both sides are post-liberal…they believe the govt should possess authority over religion in a manner that liberalism does not…Both sides critique freedom of speech & the press. - J.Leeman, 9MarksJournal, A New Christian Nationalism? Apr 23

…fresh rounds of [political] theorizing occur when people feel oppressed and embattled, whether Jefferson writing a Declaration in response to British rule, or Marx writing in response to the inequalities of industrialization. - J. Leeman #9MarksJournal #Apr23

Those in power who enjoy majority-status don’t typically feel the need to rethink theories of govt.- J.Leeman This begs a few questions: who is the majority-status now, and who will win this power struggle? Per #Jn1633, it likely won’t be the Christians. 9marks.org/article/a-new-chr…

When people feel existentially threatened, they reach for a strong man. Many American Christians increasingly feel existentially threatened. Theonomy, Christian nationalism, & magisterial Protestantism offer a theological strongman. - J. Leeman 9marks.org/article/a-new-chr…

Again, I believe the progressive left felt threatened with existential extinction first, by a Church unable to show love. It’s become a vicious cycle, that the Church needs to break. The Church need not fear existential extinction in this world. #Jn1633 #TakeCourage

The American Experiment, its main goal that a people of diversity may live together peaceably around the shared affirmations of freedom, rights, & equality may prove unworkable…the future may indeed look like one authoritarianism or another. - J.Leeman 9marks.org/article/a-new-chr…
