not much talk about Auerbach's chapter on Odysseus' scar: 'Clearly outlined, brightly and uniformly illuminated, men and things stand out in a realm where everything is visible; and not less clear—wholly expressed, orderly even in their ardor—are the feelings and thoughts of the persons involved.'

Discerning

showing good judgment; discriminating; judicious; tasteful

@pastorwlm.bsky.social

Embracing the unknown future requires a deep trust in a faithful God.

Even when the path ahead is unclear and present circumstances may not feel ideal, the assurance lies in God's capability and promise. The challenge then shifts inward: are we discerning His will remaining flexible in His movement

The pedophiles in the Epstein files are more afraid of 'frontier justice' than the legal system. Imagine having to pay for around-the-clock security protection because of your sick proclivity. Or maybe your shame will force you to eat lead. Sounds like a win-win situation.

The man who gathered the nation’s generals and admirals together so that he could upbraid them for being overweight appears to be cheating on his own workouts. He uses easier movements, just like I would, not the form required in Boot Camp.

Prevaricate

speak or act in an evasive way (with the intent to deceive); to lie

@theoldhistory.bsky.social

As I sit here and watch the Secretary of Defense prevaricate, I think the question is, what is the theory of victory? What is worth hundreds of billions of dollars and American lives? And do we have a path to achieve it? So far all I’m hearing is that we’re “winning” but need more money.

📢 A two-match series against Bangladesh in Darwin and Mackay seems an odd juncture at which to roll out Steve Smith, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, Scott Boland and Nathan Lyon, all of whom are now 35 or older.
