The Sunday after next, this church is going to gather and proclaim the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and of all those who are in him. Nothing short of that being true could get me through life in this world.

A memorial is growing outside the Covenant School. One man is currently standing with flowers, having a moment of silence at the entrance.

If something this benign about someone requires a journalistic investigation to determine, maybe it doesn’t actually matter.

Update: Police identified the suspect as a 28-year-old Audrey Hale, who they shot and killed at the scene. CBS News is still working to confirm Hale's gender identity.

For example: the speculation on DeSantis and whether he might not run is just totally inaccurate and echo chamber speculation. Some of the stuff on Trump too just isn't so as in I actually know the people involved and talk to them and the reports contradict reality.

OK, I finally need to say this. I subscribed to Puck News. The Silicon Valley and media beats are interesting. But every time I read their GOP coverage, I know so much of it isn't accurate, I have to wonder about the rest.

The difference between the Uvalde police and the Nashville police is just more and more striking. Remember, just last wee, the Uvalde police claimed they didn't rush in because the shooter had a "military" weapon, which was just an AR.

I’m really reluctant to criticize the press given my job, but I will say this. There’s a ton of “DeSantis can’t win the nomination because of [reasons usually to do with how the GOP has changed in the last 20 years]” but those of us over 40 know those “changes” haven’t occurred.

The spineless Uvalde officers should be forced to watch this every day for the rest of their lives

If there is a worse voice for this, I can't think of it.

A top White House ally plans to paint Republicans’ focus on issues around race, gender and sexual identity as part of a GOP strategy to undermine public education as White House officials debate how forcefully to engage in the so-called culture wars. nbcnews.to/3ZoUaKr

The man who stabbed a GOP staffer in the brain was released from prison a day earlier. He told police he attacked because a "voice was telling him that someone was going to get him" Maybe don't release insane violent felons onto street?

Here’s a little dose of hope from J.R.R. Tolkien for you this morning: "The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.”

Flabbergasted by the tidal wave of media coverage Succession enjoys vs the size of its audience. I got breaking push notifications about the last episode! Meanwhile, the last season premiere of Yellowstone quietly drew 12 million viewers

Season premiere of Succession draws 2.3 million viewers across HBO Max and linear telecasts, HBO says per Nielsen and internal data.

Our country is deeply broken because we’ve rejected God. We’ve given a microphone to the most insane in our society and allowed them to desecrate everything that is beautiful and true, while we sit back apathetically bc we want to be “accepting” and “inclusive”. What a mess.

A Pokémon trading card game player was disqualified from a regional tournament over the weekend (after starting 5-0!) for apparently not declaring his preferred pronouns in a serious-enough manner. This is an insane story: twitlonger.com/show/n_1ss91i3 via @FishNugget4

Kamala Harris says Americans are "recovering" from high prices because of "the measures our administration has taken to bring down the costs." What? Inflation was 1.4% and gas was $2.39/gal when Biden took office. Inflation is 6% and gas is $3.43/gal today.
