For any Catholic, the sight of a Eucharistic Procession being turned away at the gates of the destination is the embodiment of Jesus being denied entrance. You don't have to be Catholic to get the symbolism in that!

Denying the Eucharist, a literal communion with God, to Catholics is an abomination.

For me, the seminal Diane Keaton work will always be her 2001 essay collection, “Clown Paintings” which is a bunch of essays about literal paintings of literal clowns. It’s the only book that’s earned pride of place on my coffee table. (My partner turns it face down for obvious reasons)

A coffee table book, “Clown Paintings”, by Diane Keaton. The cover features an enormous, terrifying closeup of a painting of a clown’s face with the title in giant green text in the middle.

my only question is why do we have to wait for the 15th inning to implement this

After the 15th inning it is time to replace one player with a dog until someone wins or it's all dogs.

“If Democrats had won you would have gotten a lot of good, popular things” is not the selling point you might think it is, Johnny boy

Boy, standard definition really let TOS get away with a lot of stuff that wouldn’t fool anyone in HD, huh? Those salt and pepper shakers are cool though.

#StarTrekTOS' "The Man Trap" is the first episode in which we see the colourful food cubes which appear in many later episodes. Notice how the bowl of cubes ⬆️ (on a small plate) is suddenly a large plate of cubes in the close-up ⬇️. All the blue cubes are also suddenly gone in the close-up... ;-)

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."
