An 11 year old?!?

Well, it is, per the 2020 reporting rules, 'mostly peaceful' protest. So they want to inflict the death penalty on faculty. What are such details when there is justice to be done in...what's that place? Gaza, oh, right.

A good priest. This parish is blessed!

Sasse has this right. 'We don't coddle emotions. We wrestle with ideas.'

People wonder why there is a bitterness about Catholics, especially priests, of a certain age. I think much of it has to do with the wholesale junking of everything from beliefs to rituals to furniture that reminded them of the past. In an age without roots, it's easy to be angry…

For ~$9.6B of outside capital, SpaceX has launched a rocket into orbit over 320 times.

For $11B of taxpayer money, California built 1600ft of a concrete bridge.

Let that sink in.

It's not Putin that's the real threat. It's that guy Dostoevsky.

Well, yeah, but he was a better poet and writer than your average teenager.

Yeah and cyclists shouldn’t be on roads like this (or on roads at all)

This is an interesting idea. Swamp the system till they give up.

I agree. The original trilogy was a fun spaghetti western that provided some good pop culture references. It was good entertainment but not more than that.

Star Wars LXXVIII: A New Dope. An aging Luke has come under the spell of a dementia-ridden Palpatine. After having his hair sniffed over and over, Luke develops a case of Stockholm-Death-Star syndrome. He eventually joins forces with Palpatine, who promises that he will get him…

Anybody who knows anything about Catholic teaching or Mother Teresa knows how stupid this is.

Working on an essay for a book on Frederick Rolfe's Hadrian VII. It's a fabulously crazy book by a character who is fun to read about and whom one would want to avoid in real life. Shane Leslie said friendship with Rolfe was 'a minor experiment in demonology.'

Google has taken down this Trump ad on the pretext of violating its guidelines. The real reason of course is because it’s pretty effective. Let’s teach Google a lesson by sharing this widely!

Our experts aren't.
