But on the funny side, thank you Remy for this Dogecoin rap:

“When the Wokists come for you…” — Not even Richard Dawkins is immune. He recently had his 1996 “Humanist of the Year” award revoked for questioning the Nouveau Religiosos of Wokeism.

A professor friend of mine, Dr. Keith Stanglin, at my alma mater has an excellent post at The Federalist blog: Our Ancestors Would Be Amazed at Our Cowardly Coronavirus Hysteria. Also, Boethius’ The Consolation Of Philosophy is totally worth reading. (You can get an electronic version for free at Project Gutenberg.)

If you have a subscription to Christianity Today, I recommend reading The Splintering of the Evangelical Soul by Tim Dalrymple.

News of the weird: Beavers cause internet outage in Canada. Really.

And as always, don’t forget to check out our book Faith Seeking Freedom!

Cheers, and have a great week!
