My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss.

If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled.

With respect Billy, this sounds like, at best, you've been fighting a losing battle for 40 years, and at worse that you've put your attachment to this symbol above the concerns and indeed hurt it's caused comrades. Please think about that.

It's actually really impressive how much of where we got to right now stems from the top legal and political scholars in our media just declaring "well if that's true then the left is right, and we know they're not, so that isn't true" for like, thirty years

I would simply remind the three-year-old that the correct question is whether today might be the last day of past and future, an annihilation of both, in order that the present, thrown between the two and thus deferred into eternity and eternally deferred, might at long last commence.

Far-right Catholics freaking out about the Pope doing normal Pope things will always be entertaining.

The Pope blessed some water? Can you even imagine?

Matt Walsh: Horrific. The whole thing. Pope Leo blesses a block of ice and then stands there while these communist freaks do some kind of weird pagan Earth worshipping hippy ritual. The leader of the Catholic Church shouldn’t be anywhere near this nonsense. What the hell are we doing here

@CatholicSat: The Blessing of the Waters by Pope Leo XIV, at today’s ‘Raising Hope for Climate Justice’ International Conference at Castel Gandolfo.
