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.”

Let us remember that Christ served his last moments ministering to prisoners. One of Pope Francis' last public acts was offering mass to prisoners.

"Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them; those who are being tortured, as though you yourselves were being tortured"

I'm just one monastery, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (procedurally building and testing plausible names of god using a custom set of glyphs). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs I would have expected if you'd asked me six months ago.

"Average transhet person has 109 sexual partners across their lifetime" factoid actually just statistical error; Jennie June, who has who had made 800 "intimate" in her lifetime, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

“and what is a tory?”
“good god! what is he?”
“every tory is a coward; for servile, slavish, self-interested fear is the foundation of toryism; and a man under such influence, though he may be cruel, never can be brave.”

It's incredible the extent to which Congress just utterly refuses to defend itself. You'd think for entirely self-interested reasons you would stridently oppose having the power of the purse arbitrarily ripped from you, ya know?

Why would you allow yourself to become the Roman Senate circa 27 BC.

This is, by far, one of my favorite aviation pics. It crystallizes the Cold War nuclear alert: get the aircraft off the ground and away from the base asap before it’s glassed. Every RATO bottle that’ll fit the airframe and demineralized water overclocking the engines and turning the exhaust black.

This morning in 1957, a B-47 departing Homestead AFB (about 25 miles south of Miami, Florida) for Wheelus Air Base, Libya, as part of a large alert exercise crashed and burned in a field roughly 3,800 feet from the end of the runway after the pilot chose to take off with a flat right outrigger tire.

A color photograph of a B-47 taking off using Jet-Assisted Take Off rockets (JATO). Large plumes of smoky exhaust pour from the six jet engines and the rockets.

One thing I've noticed is that even well-educated people underestimate how much control over the structure of the courts congress has. Almost nothing about the courts requires a constitutional amendment to change

This would take a constitutional amendment to change, right?

One of his posts says Dems don’t understand that paying the troops is popular … never mentioning that Dems sponsored a bill to pay the troops — but the GOP promptly blocked it.
