There was a guy at Mass yesterday wearing a shirt with a beautiful icon of Christ on the front, along with the text “Jesus take the wheel, because I can’t get another DUI”

There is currently a Democratic consultant in DC making $450k/year who has spent his week trying to figure out if they can get Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce to publicly hang out with Biden or moderate an event with his potential replacements.
what the fuck is this sorkin-brain shit?

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body drool on what it loves.
Yesterday I saw someone with a bumper sticker that said “Are you letting the soft animal of your body love what it loves today?” and I wanted to do a citizen’s arrest

I don’t have a screenshot but I often think about that time someone mentioned dishwasher filters and I learned how many of you either (1) didn’t know your dishwasher had a filter and/or (2) had never cleaned it.

Fun facts: (1) the Cuvier’s beaked whale can dive almost two miles deep in the ocean (2) at that depth, it has never had to listen to political discourse during an election year and is widely considered the luckiest of mammals

Unbelievable that we’re allowing a CANADIAN pop star give a concert at Nationals Park That said, it’s very funny that the Washington Nationals themselves were a Canadian team until the second Bush administration

Daughter and I found an American giant millipede today. Fun facts: (1) They can live at least 11 years. (2) While most millipedes have dozens/hundreds of eggs, these ladies lay/hatch only one egg at a time. (3) If provoked, they can secrete a liquid with benzoquinones that causes skin burns.

Surely military and intelligence officials would never anonymously say stuff to reporters to sway domestic politics.
FT and NYT are up with stories about how those close to Biden have recognized a noticeable cognitive decline in the past weeks. Notably, there are security and intel sources who question his capacity to carry out his duties as President. This is not a joke.

I posted this as a joke, but imagine being a bishop of the Church, a successor to the apostles who were commissioned by Jesus Christ to spread the Gospel. Imagine being a “visible source and foundation of unity”, divinely ordained to teach the Faith. And then you put your teaching behind a paywall.

The Catholic hospital near my house has one of the original St. John’s bibles in the lobby and it’s genuinely stunning en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sai...
obviously not the biggest reason why interest in Christianity has waned over the past 100 years but i think we gotta start illuminating the manuscripts again. everybody likes to see a little guy riding a snail or getting stabbed in the balls by a rabbit off to the side of Ephesians
