"Hello, I'm His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, here in the Criterion Closet."
Dear friends, I am happy to greet and welcome you. I also express my gratitude for what cinema represents: a popular art in the noblest sense, intended for and accessible to all. It is wonderful to see that when the magic light of cinema illuminates the darkness, it simultaneously ignites the eyes of the soul. Indeed, cinema combines what appears to be mere entertainment with the narrative of the human person’s spiritual adventure. One of cinema’s most valuable contributions is helping audiences consider their own lives, look at the complexity of their experiences with new eyes and examine the world as if for the first time., In doing so, they rediscover a portion of the hope that is essential for humanity to live to the fullest. I find comfort in the thought that cinema is not just moving pictures; it sets hope in motion.

Image of a WB Bugs Bunny cartoon mafia ogre alongside a photo of slurring villainous deportation fetishist and alleged bribe-taker Tom Homan. The resemblance is uncanny but nonetheless exactly what you'd expect.

Am I hallucinating? Is that the dweedling tones of the Hood Humor truck coming up my street? There is still some taste of heaven to be found on this cursed Earth.
The Good Humor kei truck makes a right on my street.

What is it with this ascendant fascist movement hiding behind their toddlers?
X post by JD Vance 08 March 2025: Today while walking my 3 year old daughter a group of “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed us around and shouted as my daughter grew increasingly anxious and scared. I decided to speak with the protesters in the hopes that I could trade a few minutes of conversation for them leaving my toddler alone. (Nearly all of them agreed.) It was a mostly respectful conversation, but if you’re chasing a 3-year-old as part of a political protest, you’re a shit person.

I do kinda like how, when spurned by the Republican Senator's Husband, Kamala went on to spurn a feeble handshake attempt by Republican Senator's Large Adult Son.
