Going Rogue

I just donated to Tulsa Flyer! They recently launched an online news organization serving all Tulsans. Check them out at: tulsaflyer.org and support community journalism at: tulsaflyer.org/donate/?form=F…

Euthanasia is the fifth-leading cause of death in Canada, accounting for an estimated 1 in 20 deaths in Canada. The country is currently considering expanding medical assistance in dying (MAID) to individuals whose sole underlying condition is mental illness. ewtnnews.com/world/us/healt…

@DarrinKnowles1 I heard about this after my Korean War veteran father died in 1999. Thankfully, there was a microfilm back up of his records that were located.

July 12, 1973. St. Louis. A fire starts on the sixth floor of a federal records building at 12:45 in the morning. By dawn, 18 million veterans' records are ash. Nobody was ever charged. The Erased Generation.

@SarahLongwell25 Not weird at all. Wartime is when most generals and top brass get fired. How many generals did Lincoln fire during the Civil War before he found one who was competent? Truman fired MacArthur during the Korean War. It happens.

We’re in the middle of a pretty important naval blockade standoff with a country we’ve threatened to destroy, so it seems like a weird time for the Secretary of the Navy to abruptly depart. And by “weird” I mean, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

@JoeTipton @On3 @TransferPortal “committed” seems like an overly strong word in this context.

NEWS: Texas A&M transfer guard Pop Isaacs has committed to Oklahoma, source told @On3. The 6-2 redshirt junior has scored nearly 1,300 career points in college. He averaged 9.8 PPG while shooting nearly 40% from three this season for the Aggies, after putting up roughly 16 PPG over the previous two years at Creighton and Texas Tech. on3.com/news/texas-am-…

Let’s all be Derek when confronted by stupid HR shit.

@giftedrascal @WingsScotland

@WingsScotland Business development manager. He drives to companies to see if we can get work from them. Tries to build relationships, but mainly sits in his car in motorway service stations eating pasties! Dream job really 😁

We were once forced into this escape room shite for 'team building' we had a BDM called Derek. Derek was 64 years old. He sat on the floor in the middle of the room with his arms folded and said "I'm not fucking doing this! You can get fucked" I miss Derek.

@CinemaTweets1 Great scene ruined by overly dramatic and intrusive musical score.

Legends of the Fall might not be one of Brad Pitt’s best films, but I think it’s one of his best performances. This is a beautiful movie that won the Oscar for Best Cinematography & captures the Montana landscape so well. But Pitt is simply outstanding & the best part of the film

@OleTimeHardball Not sure many managers would allow their centerfielder to play that shallow these days. Edmonds’ confidence was off the charts. And deservedly so.

Jim Edmonds was a demon in the field

@jennfrey Welcome home!

Landed in Tulsa and immediately tornado warnings blare on everyone's phones and sirens going. Gotta love Oklahoma.

@frobrien Whoa!

Update: 92 people signed up for summer OCIA

@breeadail @ilgiornale @cardinalrlburke What do you mean by this?: “…in a country where the Catholic electorate played a significant role in the pontiff’s victory.”

VATICAN CITY— NEW, from @ilgiornale—and translated from the Italian: “U.S. @cardinalrlburke denies any conflict between the two compatriots: "They want the same thing: peace" Tough times on the Vatican-Washington axis. The war is driving a wedge between the two most important Americans: Donald Trump and Robert Prevost (Pope Leo XIV). This is no small matter in a country where the Catholic electorate played a significant role in the pontiff’s victory. There are those who are rubbing their hands in glee because, under the current circumstances, they see an opportunity to “crown” Leo XIV as Trump’s sworn enemy, just as they have hoped since shortly after the election. Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, however—a leading figure among conservative Catholics in America (and beyond)—demonstrates in this interview how one can be loyal to the Pope without being hostile to the Trump administration. Your Eminence, will you be at St. Peter’s today for the vigil for peace? “Certainly, I will join the Holy Father for this essential moment of prayer in a time of crisis such as the present. I am very happy to respond to the call to ask that peace be restored as soon as possible. We must follow what was revealed at Fatima in 1917 and recite the rosary to Our Lady, who is the Queen of Peace.” Do you agree with those who say that Leo XIV is proving to be the anti-Trump? “The narrative of an ongoing clash is exaggerated. The Pope has invited everyone to work for peace, as is right and proper. His compass is the teaching of the Church found in the Catechism and classically developed by St. Augustine.” How do you judge Trump’s behavior? "One may have different opinions on how to address the issue, but one certainly cannot think that the situation in Iran was good prior to the attacks by the U.S. and Israel. I believe that from his perspective, Trump also has peace as his goal, in the sense that he wants to restore internal peace in Iran and also in relation to other nations. This is because the regime poses a nuclear weapons threat to neighbors and beyond. And then, let me say one thing..." Please... "We must also pray for the freedom of the Iranian people, who have suffered for too many years at the hands of the Ayatollahs’ regime. We cannot forget the many civilians killed in recent years by the repression. It pains me to see a great nation, with a rich cultural heritage, destroyed by such a bloodthirsty regime." You have historically enjoyed good relations with the Republican administration and are very popular among the MAGA base. Would you be willing to play a role in facilitating dialogue between the Holy See and the U.S.? “I am willing to help in any way I can. However, I am not a diplomat and would not be the right person for the job. Furthermore, I believe that talking about tensions is an exaggeration. The U.S. ambassador to the Holy See, a devout Catholic, is already doing everything possible to facilitate dialogue between the two sides. The important thing is that the door remains open and that we always find a way to talk to see how the Church can help bring about reconciliation between nations.” So it’s not true that Trump’s America and Leo’s Church are at odds? "No. There is great respect for the Church in America, and Catholics have always contributed greatly to every aspect of the nation’s life. For a long time, there was an anti-Catholic prejudice suggesting that we wanted the Pope to govern the country. But Church doctrine has never taught that the Church must govern. We Catholics follow the Lord’s teaching to render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and unto God what is God’s. The Church teaches moral principles, but then leaves it to those in government to make decisions.”

@frobrien There's always the BOK center. ;)

And 75 people are already signed up for Summer OCIA. We may need a bigger church.

@HarrisonGarlic1 @ChivalryGuild Always imprinting 21st-Century sensibilities and politics onto ancient times and events.

@ChivalryGuild In modern medieval movies the heroes are always anachronistic liberals.

Between this scene and the depiction of the Saracens as perfect princes and Liam Neeson's dream of a pluralistic Jerusalem, you have Total Boomerized Cinema.

Nice article from the Tulsa Flyer: Is converting the newest trend? tulsaflyer.org/2026/04/03/cul…
