Halp.

Quickest and easiest way to get kids baptised?
We want to send my kids to a local catholic high school, they are typically at capacity and not being baptised means my kids likely won’t get in.
Is there a simple way to make it happen? Can I just approach a church?
Any info would be amazing, thanks!

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Jake LaMotta called himself “a no-good bastard,” and his memoir proves it – rape, violence, and cruelty, told with chilling casualness. Martin McKenzie-Murray on how Martin Scorsese turned his book into something close to a biblical lament. satpa.pe/0OOAJ8R

Raging Bull and the real-life cruelty of Jake LaMotta

Martin Scorsese’s Raging Bull won an Oscar for Robert De Niro, with his portrayal of boxer Jake LaMotta’s misogyny, depravity and violence in and outside the ring.

For those who support the use of AI detectors, by all means feel free to attempt a response. But please don't say "I care about my students" or I care about academic integrity" because neither of those things can be true if you believe in the efficacy of detectors. Shocking,I know, but there you are

Explaining to someone at work that you can watch Full Metal Jacket on SBS On Demand movies. Deserves its <R> rating. Hard to describe in a few words when entire theses have been written about aspects of the film. Worth it for the Battle of Huế recreated pre-CGI in East London near the Thames.

Imagine kicking the former national rugby captain out of your sports club instead of the gambling lobby.

To paraphrase Groucho Marx, who'd want to belong to a club that would accept Responsible Wagering Australia as one of its sponsors?
