  • I’ve used multiple iPads Pros and Minis for years. Primarily a Pro 13 for work stuff and a Mini for personal stuff.

    iPadOS 26 may have broke me.

    It’s useable on the 13 but on the Mini, not having Slide Over and Split View is painful.

    I have to spend so much time trying to launch apps and manage windows that it’s easier to go grab my MacBook Air.

    These may be my last iPads.

  • From Jesus, Justice & Joash, The Beatitudes and Empire

    The empires of this earth go out of their way to oppress those who don’t fit in. They oppress those on the margins.&10;&10;But the kingdom of God that is already but not yet fully here, the kingdom of God that Jesus will fully establish on earth upon his return, the kingdom of God stands opposed to the empires of this earth – by bringing comfort to those who are oppressed." &10;

  • “It’s especially important to remember that people love hating their enemies — they love that more than anything. So the worst thing you could do to them, as far as they’re concerned, is to diminish their hatreds. To those of us who don’t happen to share those hatreds, their behavior might look like wearying, pointless repetition. But from the inside, those hatreds are the primary instrument of myth confirmation. They give security, and people want security. I can’t blame them for that, but I sure wish they chose different means to that end. I have no influence in the matter, though.”

    -Alan Jacobs

    And for my reflection, because I fail at these so often:

    “Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭21‬ ‭NLT‬‬

    “Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭18‬ ‭NLT‬‬
