Trying to explain St Augustine to the pope, the former head of the Augustinian order, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Augustine, on his way back from celebrating mass at the Basilica of St Augustine in Annaba, Algeria, overlooking the site where Augustine lived is peak Adult Catholic Convert.

I just watched a video of Katie Porter saying farm workers getting overtime pay is a regulation that “doesn’t make sense”

"Bring back the gender studies program" is a worthwhile endeavor but not of the same urgency.

It's almost as if there were a decades-old pro-Palestinian activism infrastructure on college campuses and not a decades-old anti-Right infrastructure.

Also, Palestinian encampments were making demands of the universities. Which demands do you want students to make of universities now?

They're playing Christian rock on the moon mission

Have you considered that the capitalist economy is usually bad for most people and that they may be reacting to the larger structure rather than the directional changes within that structure?

"You all" meaning people who oppose genocide?

Do you believe in France as a French state? Would you be comfortable with two-tiered laws for non-ethnically-French people?

TIL that opposing genocide no matter who is conducting it makes me a "Palestinaphile"

I kid you not, this is currently what the White House's "Major Events Timeline" shows for the East Wing expansion.

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside.

On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors.

She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

NYT on Feb. 13, 2026: The visit also demonstrated the relative foreign policy inexperience of Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, who has made a few overseas trips since taking office but does not sit on any House committees devoted primarily to world affairs. She struggled at times to formulate succinct answers at a nighttime panel session, during which she was asked probing and specific questions about how to respond to international crises. Questioned about whether the United States should send troops to defend Taiwan if China invaded the island, she stalled for roughly 20 seconds before offering a substantive response. “I think that, uh, this is such a, a — you know, I think that — this is a, um — this is of course, a, uh, a very longstanding, um, policy of the United States,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said, before saying that the country should try to avoid reaching that point with China in the first place.

NYT on March 16, 2026: On Monday, Mr. Trump claimed that “numerous countries have told me they’re on the way,” noting that President Emmanuel Macron of France would most likely help in the Strait of Hormuz and was an eight out of 10. “Not perfect, but it’s France,” he said. Others are not demonstrating sufficient enthusiasm for his demands, he said.

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid

Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:

if I was a candidate I’d spend Election Day posting shit like “all suffering stems from desire”

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

One time in Cyprus I was driving on a road where some donkeys were running a kind of toll gate where they would block the road until you threw a carrot off to the side of it for each one.

Like that.

Lol nice gyre dude. You widening that shit?

criterion channel rn has a collection called YEARNING and a collection called STUNTS! and between them exits the entire spectrum of human art and emotion

I was preparing to hear some good stories about whaling

Everyone who cheered for Team USA should be embarrassed.

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine

I've been saying this about federal law enforcement also. They've been waiting to get the green light to behave this way the whole time - it's an absolute vindication of defund/abolish.

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

But will they eventually be the size of a Toyota Corolla?

Is there something incorrect here - like are they lying about him taking AIPAC money?

Most people are women.

So much going on here

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

Let’s be honest: in many of these winter Olympic “sports”, the snow is doing most of the work. An unexpected thaw would expose these so-called athletes for the frauds they are

JD Vance loudly booed at the Winter Olympics today.
