His post from today, his 60th birthday. Really moving. I love him but TBH, never saw this one coming. Very powerful:

Skip if you find TL but for those who don't have Twitter:
I want thank ALL of the lovely people for their kind birthday wishes for me today on my 60th birthday. I am the luckiest man in the world. I have a wonderful partner in life, my beautiful wife Patricia and three lovely daughters; Elle, Miranda and Madeline. Today, I am reminded of what Dr. M Scott Peck told me over 30 years ago: At 40, you feel like you can conquer the world and there’s a sense that nothing can stop you. But at 60 you realize the very real fragility of life and temporariness of it all. A humbling knowledge that there is indeed a time limit for all things and that God’s design though perfect, is precious far beyond its brevity. Today, I am also reminded of the Hindu story that my friend Bill from Lowell Arkansas told me about a man at his funeral. Looking at the man, “Would this man lying here ask for more riches and Gold from the world? Would this man ask to be more famous and well regarded by others? Would he ask to be taller or look more handsome? No. The only thing this man lying here today would ask for was much simpler…more time.” If you are reading this now, then you too have time! Use it wisely, use it unwisely too! But USE it. Be IN it. Be aware that you are part of ALL of it and that the separateness you sometimes feel is an illusion. Just as your heart beats without being told, you are as integral to the Sun that fires and the planets that circle it as your heart is a part of you. For the atheists, God loves you too. The mistake you make is to think the universe is a stupid thing that just bumps into things and expands ignorantly and without reason or intelligence. And that somehow we human beings, with our intelligence is just some kind of ‘freak’ universal accident. To you I say this, if there is such a thing as kindness, empathy, compassion and love…it is because you found it in other people. And as my dear friend Norm Macdonald once said, “We are part of this universe, indeed a mere fraction of it, so if we have kindness and love, how much more the universe itself.” For if we are capable of love, it is because it is endemic to the universe itself. To quote Alan Watts, “For we didn’t come ‘in’ to the world, we came ‘out’ of it. We are the universe evolving to the point of consciousness, so that the universe, us, can experience existence and life in all it’s wonder and beauty and glorious exuberance.” Lastly, as I am a new convert to Catholicism, I offer my apology for my lack of Christ’s forgiveness to my fellow man. I was so angry at the people who shut down schools and indeed the world and who coerced others to do things against their will which hurt many people deeply. I offer my unconditional forgiveness and amnesty. For how can I stay mad at the famous singer who would not let others in to his Broadway show unless they had an experiential jab. I will never forget how kind he was to me and my friends when he was the musical guest on SNL. How can I continue to hold a grudge against the actor who shamed people like me but has been such a great example for other actors to never give up and keep fighting for their dreams. How can I still be mad at the lovely actress that said she could no longer be friends with people like me who didn’t ‘get’ it, knowing how incredibly kind she is with every child she meets. I am humbled by the example of my mother Pilar and how she was able to forgive the WW2 occupiers of her Philippines who killed both her brothers. At last it is forgiveness itself that is the gift that we give ourselves because it frees us as The Christ intends for all of us to be free. For His gift of ultimate and unlimited forgiveness is indeed the gift for all humanity. May God bless you and your families now and forever.
With all my “You can do it” love, Robbie Schneider
Why doesn't she say where this came from? Hard to know if this is current or from a long time ago. He looks terrible for sure.
Oh my bad. I don't know how to sort Twitter posts by date so I never look those things up.
Whoa. EDIT: Just noticed "tale" instead of tail, too. Whooooaa. Burning Bright should analyze this narrative LOL.
Sometimes it's true but the hardest thing to realize is that it doesn't matter why. The why just doesn't matter, if there's no changing the what. People who have had bad childhoods still have a decision to make. Are they going to break the cycle and become something different or use their circumstance as an excuse to both be a victim and then also, victimize? The choice is theirs alone. And I do believe God is the only one that can turn someone around who has lost their conscience along the way.
Never had heard of him but just followed.
Wrong link for Sharyl Attkinson thread maybe? The turbo cancer so scary to me because I know more than a few people.
No kidding. I feel like years have been wasted.
Someone on Twitter notes beautiful can be defined as “well executed” 😂
He puts an extra "c" in choking too, spelling it chocking.
Why would anyone post that picture of themselves? Geez.
Who knows. Some people back then were speculating that he is JFK Jr.'s kid, and that JFK Jr. has been in some kind of military or self imposed witness protection situation.
I have been doing that lately as well.
This is great sorry for the late comment I have been prescribed statins and I don't really want to take them so did a search here to see if anyone had discussed. This was exactly my experience around 10 years ago. I went on a low carb diet and my "bad" cholesterol dropped significantly. I haven't been as good lately that way. I am going to give that a try and see what happens.
Thanks that was bugging me LOL.
That would be nice. But hardly a near death precipice experience.
Trying to mitigate the defamation damages prolly. I wish I wasn't such a cynic sometimes.
Melania bookmarks 4chan...
That's the first thing my mother said when I told her they stopped teaching cursive!!
I just don't like her for some reason tbh. It's visceral. She seems pretty cocky to me.
I am not a fan of the blaming the victim either. 6 years ago that would've been me. It was me. My kids are fully vaccinated. They wouldn't listen to me about the COVID vaccine because they were where I was 6 years ago. They are starting to awaken and are absolutely vehemently not taking the boosters. Would I have come along that fast at 20 something? I don't think so. I voted for Bush twice and supported the Patriot Act. We have to point our fire at the enemy.
This is an awesome comment. People have tried to summarize the thinking before but this is it in a nutshell. It totally encapsulates the way Trump does battle. I am saving it just because.
They are so full of shit:
"The charges against Powell specifically accused her of racketeering, tampering with election equipment, stealing voter data, and lying to public officials about it. The indictment says Powell and Trump met at the White House in December 2020 and discussed strategies for overturning the election. Powell also filed her own conspiratorial and typo-filled lawsuits seeking to overturn the election results — all of which failed —in four swing states."
And then:
"In her hearing Thursday , Powell pleaded guilty to six charges related to her scheme to tamper with election equipment and steal voter data in Coffee County."
RELATED to her scheme to tamper. In other words, she didn't plead guilty to accusations of racketeering, etc. She plead guilty to "six counts of conspiracy to interfere with election duties." She probably asked some clerk for a piece of paper and a pen or something. Such total bullshit.
If you scroll down the comments she also throws out a "KEK". She is one of us.
