There is so much here, but the bell ringer is "Smeared anyone to their right as "fascists" a common..." as if fascist had any meaning in 1930s Germany outside "Those Nazi guys" what with it really not having any connotation in the popular mindset outside of the German and Italian political groups.

Hey, what was happening in Germany in the 1930s? I forget.

@RealJamesWoods
For those who actually respect history, the origin story of Antifa is well documented. Antifa is an organization that emerged with the “German Communist Antifaschistische Aktion” movement in the 1930’s.
German Communists smeared anyone to their right as "fascists,” a common ploy used by the ignorant hysterical activists of the Democrat Party today. Like today’s leftist loonies, the German Antifa of the Weimar years even labeled the leftwing SDP as "social fascists." Today’s Antifa are a paramilitary mob used by the usual suspects to foment fake “mass protests” and burn down cities. The same puppet masters of the Democrat activist judges ruining America today also fund these “useful idiots” of Antifa to impede the mandate given to the current President in his landslide last election victory.

After 55 years, today is the last show. Every Sunday night as a young teen, I'd lay in bed and put my headphones on and make it to the Funny Five every week. Mondays sure would suck harder because of it, but hot damn was it worth it.

I salute the good doctor on his retirement.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I've got another of her albums called "The Power of Indifference" but that's a different kind of album and I was curious what her more traditional style would sound like.

I wouldn't have thought the cello would make a very good solo/lead instrument.
However, I am listening to REIÐ by Maya Fridman, and she's making it work.
It's not even expensive, go buy a copy and see if I'm right.

Three people protesting outside the Portland, OR ICE facility, dressed in inflatable frog costumes, holding a small sign that says “Portland Frog Brigade”.

Over top of the photo is white text reading: “Exodus 8:2-6 "But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs... The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."”

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

If you're not British and you're wondering why British people are largely expressing satisfaction at the death of Ian Watkins, DO NOT Google what he did. Really don't. It is hideous and distressing and you dont need to know. If there's a hell, he's going there, alongside Hindley and Brady etc

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and suggest the local, state and federal law enforcement just go ahead and seize his hard drive and start talking to everyone who ever interacted with him when they were a child.

Ross Douthat treats this guy like they're having some deep conversation about the relationship of Christianity and the government, but the dude is a garden-variety dull, shallow, hateful, worthless bigot with nothing interesting to say, just endless riffs on "God hates everything/everyone I do."

Douthat: So that’s the first purpose of your political project, for America to stop making God angry.

Wilson: Yes. And most people think that when they are confronted with that project, they think that we want to get our tentacles into everything and start controlling everything. I actually think we need limited government. The government should be significantly smaller than it is, and we need to curtail a lot of the busybodyness that we have. That’s why I would call myself a theocratic libertarian. There is a true libertarian element in this, and yet, the transcendent grounding for what we’re talking about means that we acknowledge the authority of God.

We have racked up quite a body count of awful crimes, and I believe the only way out is for us to repent and turn to Christ. This would be things like no more Pride parades, no more drag queen story hours, no more abortion on demand, no more legalized same-sex unions — all of that, done. That’s the repentance part.

Milankovitch cycles—infinitesimal shifts in the planet's rotational axis that allowed marginally more sunlight to hit the planet over millennia—repeatedly brought the Earth out of its ice ages.

It was mad to think that 1.3C of heating in, like, a century wouldn't totally destabilize our climate.
