Dick Cheney won’t see your jokes, but your friends who orchestrated a destructive and illegal war based on lies and also shot a guy in the face will.
Dick Cheney is dead. After so much Chaotic Evil, I’m feeling almost nostalgic for the era of Lawful Evil.
“But lo there breaks a yet more glorious day!
The saints triumphant rise in bright array
The King of Glory passes on his way
Alleluia! Alleluia!”

My heart always swells and my eyes get wet at that verse.

I filled in the circle for the candidate who actually cares about struggling New Yorkers, won his party’s primary, and isn’t a certifiably insane cat hoarder. It’s notable that it’s the last point that tells you who I meant.
Tell me about an interesting saint you learned about since last All Saints’ Day

Malmsey: a traditional option for disposing of inconvenient Royal Dukes
Sorry, but the US has proven that democracy has failed.
I use the 30-day cycle for mid-day prayer and Compline in lieu of the repetitive ones appointed for those offices in the BCP.
Monarchy has been the norm for most of human history, and republics have a tendency of degenerating into dictatorship. If the Unpleasantness of 1776 had never happened, we would be in a better place.
I remember when people really said that Bill de Blasio was a dangerous Communist who would destroy the city and turn it into a 3rd-World hellhole of crime and economic decay. What we got was just 8 years of well-intentioned feckless incompetence. I’m not impressed by the fear-mongering over Mamdani.
Compared to the United States, having a non-partisan hereditary Head of State who doesn’t get involved in political fights seems really attractive, no?
The night before All Hallows’ Eve is traditionally a night of pranks and mischief: egging houses, toilet-papering trees, nailing theses on the efficacy of indulgences to church doors…
Be careful out there!

I choose to believe that this is the origin of the meme
I for one would actually like to have a King, thank you very much. I’d be happy with any one of these.
We’re really doing this #NoKings thing again?

If we had a King, we wouldn’t be in this mess!
Watching House of Guinness after bingeing Boots throws into high relief the contrast between the genres of “Hot Rich People Doing Rich People Drama” and “Hot Working-Class People Doing Working-Class Drama.”

I’m eager for more proletarian programming.
I’m still reading Dilexi Te but I really don’t understand why Popes need to be so verbose. Do you really need 121 paragraphs to tell people that poor people deserve love, support, and social justice?

Oh, yeah. That’s where we are now.
I am both ironically and unironically in favor 100% of a Vlad the Impaler day. We just don’t actually know the date he was born or when he died the first time.
Any other Anglicans here who venerate Blessed Emperor Karl? I’ve met about 5 on Facebook ⚓️
I wish Katy Perry had stayed in space 💔
When Charlene sings that she’s “been undressed by kings,” I have determined that she means two (or more) of the following:

Constantine II of Greece
Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden
Juan Carlos of Spain
Hussein of Jordan
Hassan II of Morocco
As Christians we have no reason to fear death because it’s lost its victory and its sting. I just can’t greet it as a sister. It’s something we have to face and go through but it’s not a good thing in itself, and in the New Creation there will be no death or Death.
Thank you for these thoughts! You make some good points.

I personally can’t make a distinction between Death and death: they’re the same thing to me. One is the cosmic Power and the other is its manifestation in the world.

You’re right about the tree but something did change in the Fall.
St Paul himself says “ The last enemy to be destroyed is death.”
