Back in Brooklyn, briefly

Keep having the weirdest feeling that Ernst Cassirer is the key to solving contemporary problems. That can't possibly be right, right?

Starlink outage hit drone tests, exposing Pentagon’s growing reliance on SpaceX Last August, a global outage across Elon Musk’s satellite network left U.S. Navy unmanned surface vessels bobbing off California, halting operations.

Weird how letting the president decide which of his friends get billions in US dollars isn't the ideal approach to a functioning country or military.

"Don't spend too much time on the TOC..."

My mom imagined the pope saying said, "if I had any doubts when I was in divinity school, oh Lord, I have none now that You are and You are Good."

I'm no scholar of church history, but is this the luckiest pope ever? Inherits a scandal-plagued church hemorrhaging members, gets handed the chance to step into role of biblical prophet denouncing those who use God to justify wanton injustice and violence.

It's Jackie Robinson Day, so every player is both wearing—and is referred to as—number 42.

NYT ran 2+ above-the-fold stories about how Biden destroyed our military & diplomatic mission in (necessary) Afghanistan withdrawal for 20 straight days. His approval rating never recovered. Repeated, negative, coherent narratives affect public opinion. They *choose* not to do this to Trump.

This is what a doctor looks like

Hey, you got papacy in my politics. No, you got politics on my papacy!

Was I supposed to laugh upon reading "But we need not resort to technical terms, speak of dialogue intérieur, or refer to James Joyce"?

Trump as Jesus truth social post

Nyt Headline: Trump Posted a Picture of Himself as Jesus. Now He’s Trying to Explain It Away. The image showed President Trump bathed in divine light and clad in religious robes. His interpretation was that the image depicted him as a doctor, not Jesus Christ.

Makes you wonder who is administering the mental status exams...and how they're dressed.
