I spent nearly a decade working with Haitian pastors, churches, and seminaries, taking 50+ trips there. Protestant/Evangelical Christianity has become the predominant religious movement in Haiti, by far. I guarantee you the Christian population of Springfield has exploded.

Just another reason why this whole “eating pets bc vodou” thing is patently absurd, as if the racism, xenophobia, and complete lack of evidence wasn’t enough.

Stop saying “delta” when you mean “difference” or “change” or “rate of change” or half a dozen other related but actually distinct concepts!
Don’t say “stochastic” if you can just say “random.” Don’t say “Bayesian prior” if you can just say “assumption.” Using fancy words doesn't make you more convincing; it only draws attention away from what you’re saying to the way you’re saying it, making you *less* convincing.

Oooofff. The link between self-righteousness and anxiety is pulling back the curtain on so much for me.

Anna Song-En Chan arrived at 7:19 AM on December 20 - exactly at sunrise. A strong 10 lbs 2 oz, she’s eating and sleeping like a champ already. Isaiah could not be a more excited and attentive big brother. Our prayer is that she will grow up to be like h… instagr.am/p/CmjkOyQObOx/

I seriously considered buying shoes from Dr Scholls today. Maybe my mid-life crisis should start now.

An essential thread on what’s happening from one of the top experts on migration today.
Why didn't the Haitians you're seeing in today's viral images "get in line" and migrate "the right way"? Because there is no line. The US provides essentially zero lawful migration opportunities accessible to almost all Haitian nationals. A short thread below —>
The days are evil. Lord have mercy. By now many of you have seen this image of Border Patrol Agents riding down and whipping Haitian migrants on our southern border. My heart has been heavy over this last week as I read reports of the growing numbers of… instagr.am/p/CUF6d4pFarm/
I want to believe that I would play it as cool as Han, but the reality is I would be screaming as loud as Tyrese.
It’s good to be back. Watch the new #F9 trailer now.
George Floyd, Daunte Wright, Caron Nazario. And those are just the ones we are talking about today. God have mercy on us. God give us the courage and the strength to change this.

And now Adam Toledo, Indianapolis, and the 15th anniversary of the Virginia Tech shooting. I will never forget frantically calling and texting my friends who were there. God have mercy on us.
Yesterday was the anniversary of #ahmaudarbery’s murder by racist vigilantes. Along with many others across the country, I went for a run and made a donation to the 2:23 foundation in his memory. As I ran, I thought about all the ways that walking and … instagr.am/p/CLrxx1vlEN0/
If you want another reason to hate on @RobinhoodApp today, I’ve seen firsthand that they also make it hard for investors to donate stock to nonprofits. Which is absurdly ironic given their name.
This is an Elijah at Mt. Carmel kind of burn.
The Franklin Graham rule is never to be alone in the same room with the truth.
