NEW: I spoke with this bishop, who offered more context for his (entirely unprepared!) remarks.
Turns out other bishops (e.g., in MN) agree with him, and he recalled the moment he told local priests to get their wills in order.
“There was a little gasp,” he said. religionnews.com/2026/01/15/t...

didn’t intend this to be quite so literal but yeah, let’s go ahead and replace the editorial board of several major American news outlets with the We Rate Dogs guy, a highest quality Matt

yes, part of the reason ICE/CBP has their phones out to record is scanning for facial recognition etc, AND as has been pointed out a few times, it’s for content & your tax dollars are helping pay for editing these into nazi videos

Why Minnesota? It's not merely the most horrific kind of ill-luck that delivered another caught on video state mandated murder. Minnesota represents a direct assault on the white nationalist narrative & thus claim to power. 🧵

I’ve been working full time to stop this war since last summer and the one scenario I feared the most is materializing — Trump is making a play for Venezuela’s oil. I’m not saying an insurgency will definitely form, but Trump’s ploy creates the perfect storm for an absolutely disastrous occupation.🧵
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

Those are some dramatic photos of Trump and his national security team launching a war in the Situation Buffet Room

Well,
You have to wonder if the strikes on the "drug boats" were just a way to test which generals would follow illegal orders wrt an undeclared war with Venezuela and weed out those who wouldn't.

Media is starting to report the Grok child porn story but way too many are centering the bot's "apologies" and "admissions" without explaining that these are being generated in response to user requests and are not in anyway authentic or meaningful.

It’s very weird—and telling—to treat politics as something unimportant that’s wrong for people to act on, while treating a jazz concert as an issue of public concern so serious it calls for legal action.
This is the logical and inevitable conclusion of the last decade of elite media "free speech" discourse.

@leefinleypa.bsky.social interesting given our movie last night.
But again, you may be wondering WHY I’m blabbing on about it.
A society whose institutions emphasize obedience to authority, respect for rules, and conformity (the hallmarks of Kohlberg’s Stage 3‑4 reasoning) can also create fertile ground for authoritarian or fascist ideas. How? I will explain.

Absolutely right.
AI might be able to summarize (poorly) what we currently know, but a major goal of historical research is to find the hidden surprises out there.

Not a historian but like to research. The AI might summarize what I'm looking for, but it doesn't find what I'm *not* looking for. The book on the shelf next to the one I wanted. The insight in chapter 6 based on the quote I needed from chapter 4.

For decades, a cacophony of technological prophets has repeatedly proclaimed the impending end of the paper era. But here we still are, a paper-using humankind.

That's this whole administration, I think, they were all very obviously deeply wounded by their upbringings in ways that just broke them as human beings.
They are irreparably hurt people channeling their rage at their own spiritual wounds into violence at an incompressible scale.

Mr. Rubio said switching back to Times New Roman would “restore decorum and professionalism to the department’s written work.” Calibri is “informal” when compared to serif typefaces like Times New Roman and “clashes” with the department’s official letterhead. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...
