This song impacted me greatly as a teenager, and continues to do so to this day. I regret never seeing the Altar Boys live. www.youtube.com/watch
As a matter of public record, I will NOT use this new metaphor. twitter.com/drdrang/s… #GetOffMyLawn #SpinalTapForever
Facebook keeps telling me about all these people I “should” be friends with, and I keep thinking I need to be FB friends with fewer of the people I’m already friends with…
Once again, the most vulnerable among us are being exploited.
“Women in Syria have been sexually exploited by men delivering aid on behalf of the UN and international charities, the BBC has learned.” www.bbc.com/news/amp/…

My buddy Jake (@Jake1725 on Twitter) rode out Hurricane Harvey with his wife and their kids on the second floor of their home as the downstairs flooded. He has a piece up on how the Astros' championship run helped keep them sane and inspired them. climbingtalshill.com/2018/02/2…
I would totally buy a t-shirt that said “Welcome to the Duck Side” or better, a hooded DDG duck beckoning “Come to the Duck Side.” Just sayin'. twitter.com/DuckDuckG…

The killer features of @chrislopez’s Micron beta for me so far are the layout/design/typography and the 3D Touch action to open conversations. Sensational.

The Day Martin Luther King Jr. Prayed at the Billy Graham New York Crusade www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/eva…
It appears I did not lose any followers in the Great Twitter Purge of 2018. Or not enough that I noticed, at any rate. Make of that what you will.
In celebration of Billy Graham’s life, my pal Kevin, who worked for Graham’s organization once upon a time, offers 25 curious facts about the man. Number 25 might be my favorite. www.kevindhendricks.com/2018/02/2…
"Sabotage" – Trek vs Solo
Given the characters involved, the use of “Sabotage” didn’t really make sense in the Star Trek reboot, even with a young and rebellious Kirk, perhaps because that was a reimagining and not a Kirk we were used to.
Totally works with what we already know about Han Solo, though. I’ve watched this thing six times already. www.youtube.com/watch
Most trailer recuts aren’t that great, and the Beastie Boys' “Sabotage” has been overused. But this recut of the Solo movie trailer is infinitely better than the ones we’ve gotten from Disney so far. www.youtube.com/watch
My teenager read the Maze Runner trilogy in something like a week and a half, and wanted me to read at least the first book. So I obliged him and finished it last night.
I enjoyed it, and after I finish Horse Soldiers and Agent in Place, I’ll look at The Scorch Trials.
“I tell you one thing, though. Wherever we go, whatever we do, we’re gonna take this luggage with us.”
