Will be joining this in about 3 minutes. Some of y'all may want to mute me for the next 2 hours. And then you can forget to unmute me tomorrow, and that's a double win for you! #hatm
This interaction between Cage and Voight is reminiscent of Harrison Ford with Sean Connery in Last Crusade, one of my favorite #hatm's. We got to talk about @tintin
I'm only hear to watch all the actual historians freak out about the lemon juice. That's made these four years worth every minute. #hatm

Did anybody else used to fold their $10 bills in a way that made them look like $100 bills just to impress your friends?
Also, you can make George Washington on the $1 bill look like a mushroom. The more you know. #hatm
I have not seen this movie since it came out, and you know what, it's very creative and fun. #hatm
Riley: "Why can't they just say go to this place, here's the treasure, spend it wisely?"
So a 22-minute episode and that's it. Think, Riley, think. #hatm

This scene reminds me of a true story. Great Awakening evangelist Geo. Whitefield died & was buried in the crypt of a Presb. church in Newburyport, MA. Some π¬π§s stole his bones to "return him home." In time, the church got em back. The thighbone is on display in the narthex #hatm
(or was when I saw it back in the mid-90s)
There was a winding staircase in Solomon's Temple that represented the climb to truth? I'm starting to think this movie takes some liberties. #hatm

You get home from π« lugging a pile of π held together with a red rubber bungee. Dad & Mom are both at work. Youβve got a few hours on your own.
Do you:
a) Start your homework. Go to #8
b) Play ball-off-the-roof with the πΆs. Go to #7
c) Watch a Star Trek rerun. Go to #9
Thinking back to some bizarre stories a friend told me about his time at one of those Christian "elite teen" camps, somewhere in Texas. A 𧡠about grifting, works religion and spiritual abuse. 1/22
First, a quick caveat. I am not talking about substance abuse boot camps. I don't have an informed opinion about those. I am talking about camps that "train" normal, healthy, but insecure teens - mostly parachurch groups outside of denominational oversight. 1.5/
This is the kind of camp where parents pay big bucks for their teenagers to be trained to be sold out for Jesus, but perhaps at some gentle cost to their entire sense of self worth. 2/
Reviewing J&JW by @kkdumez for a study group and on p. 138, reminded of how after the Soviet Union fell, globalism became the new boogeyman for many evangelicals.
Explains a little bit support for Trump and even P*tin. Always looking for a big archenemy "out there" to fear. 1/4
I have noticed this about conservative Christians. We are always looking for explanations, of big systems, of how it all fits together.
We want to make sense of out world, and are often way too confident in our abilities to offer explanations. 2/4
We make ourselves experts in things we are not with just a little bit of reading and one or two lectures by popularizing speakers. Art, economics, political theory, intellectual history.
I've done it, way too much - especially when younger and had suffered less. 3/4
I'm an amateur observer, but I have been astounded by the #'s of *confirmed* reports of lost R*ssian vehicles - many abandoned. Which means they did not just run out of fuel, or get stuck, it means the R*ssian army could not secure them after. 1/7
This points to widespread poor morale, logistics and leadership. If P*tin intended a quick, surgical strike - as many suggest - it did fail, largely b/c his army stinks.
And because of efficient, flexible, hit and run Ukrainian resistance. But... 2/
... it is too easy to look at all this bloodless, captured equipment and mock the R*ssian effort. The truth is, thousands of humans have died already.
This is is an evil, tragic affair with a long way to go. 3/
