The house I grew up in had a tamarack across the way that they loved.

I love Cedar Waxwings. Such beautiful birds.

Absolutely the fuck not

A screenshot of a thread on X (formerly Twitter). The original post is by Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) and reads: "Gay surrogacy and gay adoption are predicated on the idea that gay men (or women) have a 'right' to become parents. This idea is not only morally insane but also logically incoherent. It’s exactly like jumping off a building and claiming that you have the right to fly. Nobody has the right to defy the laws of nature. Where would such a right even originate? Two men cannot be parents. It’s impossible. Doesn’t matter how they feel or what they want. It cannot be. The only 'right' at issue here is the right of the child. And the child has a right to be raised by a mother and a father, not two men masquerading as mother and father." Jenna Ellis (@realJennaEllis) replies: "This same logic is the reason Obergefell should be overturned. Two men do not have a 'right' to be married either." Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) replies to Jenna Ellis: "Absolutely" The bottom of the screenshot shows the timestamp: 1:28 PM · Apr 19, 2026.

All the transphobic pick me gays will have it coming when they're done with us.

We told you so.

This Habs game is maybe the worst reffing I can remember seeing.

Local man says junior staffer using government credit card accidentally bought private jet while out buying Timmy's for team meeting.

It seems likely to me that it has to do with how decentralized the Canadian constitutional order is. The amount of provincial control over high-salience areas of jurisdiction drives focus to provincial government and rewards regionalism in provincial parties.

Brady Tkachuk (and by extension the Ottawa Senators) can get directly in the sea.

Americans reinventing Protestantism from first principles.

Hmmm. Maybe using AI to write this place's code base wasn't the smartest idea.

So this arrived today:

Italian government to Trump…

Sounds like the Roman approach of just adopting foreign deities wholesale into their pantheon, like Isis, Cybele and Mithras.

Wikipedia's theory is it comes from dentistry being bad, and old people having bad teeth, so the easiest way for them to get protein was to suck out the contents of a raw egg, but this seems like a stretch.

There's an English idiom for this too: teaching your grandmother to suck eggs. One of the weirder English idioms in my view.

He's such an embarrassing loser.

JD Vance eating shit two days in a row is a delight.

This, and also survivor testimony is itself evidence. Very high quality evidence.

Whatever determination comes has "judicially review me" written on it in letters that could be seen from orbit.

Oh fun, an administrative law litigation trap.

HUGE: J Street now backs blocking all aid to Israel, including for “defensive” weapons like iron dome. Just weeks ago this was a controversial position for Democrats, now J Street is backing it. A few years ago a Democrat could get censured for holding this position. @AOC moving on this moved the field.

A black and white sticker depicting Luigi Mangione hung on a fridge with a magnet shaped like a heart that says Venezia

Someone printed me a sticker of a photo of luigi mangione a while back and i left it on my counter and my housekeeper hung it on my fridge bc she thought he was my boyfriend

"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope." Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war. A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic. Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope. https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib3-cann747-755_en.html"

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

Oh certainly. There is an art to pleading in the alternative. This is ... not that.

At least in law, pleading in the alternative makes sense in certain circumstances. Here it's just his brain melting out his ears.

I love the energy of wearing a Pens jersey to a Ducks game that the Pens aren't even playing in.

If the first round winds up being Habs-Lightning that is going to be absolutely unhinged, given how this game is going.

50 goals for Cole Caufield! First Habs player to do that since Stephane Richer in 1990!

I converted to Catholicism last week. Here’s why it’s necessary for the United States to invade Vatican City and install its own pope.
