Questioning by the defense about the fella she was engaged to would make short work of this examination. "Do you know to whom she was engaged?" Yes. "Who was it?" THE ASSISTANT D.A. PROSECUTING THIS CASE. (Which, by the way, NO D.A.'s office would allow.) #LeaveHerToHeaven #TCMParty

In fact, there's pretty much NO good surprises in #LeaveHerToHeaven. Every time someone tries to surprise someone, it's a disaster. "No surprises" is the moral. #TCMParty

You'd think by this time they'd learn not to surprise her. #LeaveHerToHeaven #TCMParty

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

Watching all these analysts shrug off a whole array of economic warning signs by gabbing about the market's resilience is like watching sportscasters marvel at the "resilience" of a player with a concussion and torn ACL who had dosed himself with a cocktail of 'roids, painkillers, and bathtub meth.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei

If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

Looking at tonight's TCM schedule, wondering if anyone else sees How Green Was My Valley and immediately thinks, "How bleak was my puberty," like I do whenever I see it. #TCMParty #AuntieMame Cc: @gayerthanthou.bsky.social

Very straightforwardly detained by secret police for speech. I honestly don't know what establishment figures are telling themselves any more to avoid cognitive dissonance over this shit.

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I've argued before that most Americans, in most of our lives, mostly don't experience democracy. Many of spaces in which we operate are anything but democratic. I'd argue, by extension, that the same thing is true of "freedom": for the most part, we operate in spaces of, at best, limited freedom.

Peter @notalawyer.bsky.social · 9d

the idea that freedom is in our DNA is just a misinterpretation of the fact that we’re a nation of finicky whiners who don’t like to be personally inconvenienced
