This Alabama born fella sure does get butterflies when he hears Back Home Again in Indiana in the month of May. This country has gone to shit, but at least we have the greatest spectacle in racing. #BackHomeAgainInIndiana

This grotto at a monastery in Cullman, AL has really captured me since I visited. I never thought I'd be returning to a Latin mass and going to confession for the first time in 6 years. My wife and I were joking how being Catholic will always suck you back in, even after periods of disillusionment.

"You are perfect exactly the way God made you" here is a threat, not an affirmation. It underlines this admin's focus on "natural" wellness (no vaccines or psych meds for example), women's fertility (no birth control), and merit (some people are born unqualified so no DEI). Nasty stuff.

"This autocratic takeover is precisely what Bannon, Roberts, and others admire, and are indeed seeking to carry out in the U.S... The destruction of the civil service is already under way, pressure on the press and universities has begun, and thoughts of changing the Constitution are in the air."

Apparently, a love affair with weird, fascist-ish felons is not merely an American problem. What is going on in this decade that's causing this consistent decline into anti-intellectual nativism and reaction?
One major impact seems to be social media algorithms, so I guess that's why I'm here.

NEW: French far-right leader Marine Le Pen was banned from running for public office after a court found her guilty of embezzling European Parliament funds.
