@randytravis Happy Easter to you, sir! And God bless you!

He is risen, and so is the hope that carries us home. On this Easter Sunday, may your heart be filled with peace, your spirit lifted in grace, and your path guided by His everlasting love. Happy Easter, y’all. 🙏🐣

@AshySlasheeDB Beware the moon.

If you know

@ichimaru_novel Really? I thought you guys HATED it over there so much Toho made a movie where the REAL Godzilla kicks his ass.

海外は知らないけど、日本だとこっちのゴジラも人気なんだぜ

@hoshizorarock No thanks. Unless we’re talking about pastries. Or Fish & Chips. Or bacon. The three things the brits do right when it comes to food.

アメリカ合衆国の国民の皆様 どうか落ち着いて聞いてください。 貴方達アメリカ人は今日からチーズもハンバーガーもピザも食べれません。 貴方達アメリカ人の今日からの食べ物は写真のような美味しそうなイギリス料理になります。 コーヒーも禁止となり紅茶に変更になりますので味わってたくさん食べてください。

@ChrissieMayr Welcome to the Church, Chrissie! Hope your Easter was awesome!

I’m officially a Catholic now! The OCIA process has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. At first it was intimidating but pursuing a deeper relationship with God is worth it. And this is just the beginning! Happy Easter! ✝️🕊️

@lzwyn248833 @DixZucker85 @Auntyadaa @grok “Soul Man” by Sam & Dave. One of the all-time classics of Rhythm and Blues. A cover of the song became the signature of The Blues Brothers.

@DixZucker85 @Auntyadaa @grok Wats the songs name ?

Everyone needs an uncle Phil in their lives

@ChrissieMayr @DanielConnors 🤣🤣🤣

@DanielConnors I think he’s talking about twitter followers

Lost about 300 followers since announcing my conversion to Catholicism. Doubtful it’s coincidental, but it is quite fascinating. I have a feeling those 300 people are unhappy with their life.

@SoyBvip Sweet Venus!

Si sabes que es, podemos ser amigos toda la vida…

@a10205342 As a fellow Catholic, I find it can be difficult to discuss matters of faith with Protestants. They get hung up on things like the Blessed Mother, saying we “worship statues”, even on the divinity of Christ. And of course many accuse Catholics of not even being Christian.

最近タイムラインはカトリック関係ばかり流れてくる。私はカトリックだから嬉しいのだが、もう少しプロテスタントの人の発信も見たいと思う。ケンカにならない限り会話もしてみたい。単に私のタイムラインに流れて来ないだけで、プロテスタントの人たちも頑張ってポストしてるのかな？

@ManifestHistory Which version? Catholic or Protestant? We Catholics have a few extra books in our Bible. (The Jerusalem Bible is the best Catholic version, in my opinion. It was based on a popular French translation, and J.R.R. Tolkien was one of the editors.)

I’ve finally decided to read the entire bible. So far, I’ve read Genesis and Exodus. I’m obviously really interested in reading the Gospels and New Testament. I’m debating skipping ahead to the Gospels. What do you recommend I do: Read the bible from front to back or skip ahead and read the Gospels (or entire New Testament) and then go back to the Old Testament.

@yamanakanobody I have several. We just try to find things to discuss besides politics— subjects we can all agree on.

身内に左翼がいたらどうしますか？

@_PrezDez_ @iSwearImKarl @esjesjesj Exactly. Either way, it shouldn’t be called murder. Legally, it should be classified as a “justifiable homicide.”

@EssnerBenjamin @iSwearImKarl @esjesjesj Idk but getting jumped by 3 people one of which is assaulting you with a skateboard in the middle of a burning city riot seems pretty justified to me

One is a private citizen who committed murder and one is an unarmed man who was murdered by the state without any consequences

@ichimaru_novel That reminds me, there was this animated series that was super popular in the U.S. Has anyone in Japan ever heard of Dragonball Z?

日本で大人気だったフルハウス 海外でも当時好評だったのかな？

@iSwearImKarl @esjesjesj Technically the definition of murder doesn’t require the victim to be innocent. The killing just has to be considered unjustified.

@esjesjesj It's not murder. By definition, murder requires the dead party to be innocent. He killed in self defense, this is on record. And Pretti was not unarmed, he had a gun on him and was shot literally as he got disarmed. Not good, but be honest about it.

@Orangemanround3 Normal. Even Jesus Himself probably felt like throttling people from time to time.

What's it called when you want to follow Jesus but also knock the shit out of people?

@MUKIDEZA2 None of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been in a Smash Bros. game yet.

そろそろアメリカ人も日本人も話題が尽きてくる頃ですし次にスマブラに参戦しそうなキャラでも予想する？

@AbakpaJob Let me get back to you on that.

can we please start a support group for procrastinators?

Not everyone has them, but anyone COULD have them. That’s part of the reason no other country wants to invade us. Anywhere else, they’d only have to deal with armed military and possibly armed law enforcement. In the U.S., a random mom pushing a stroller down the street might be carrying.

アメリカニキって銃社会だと思うけど、実際に所持してる家庭は何割くらいなんだろ？ 日本人はおそらくほとんどの人が持っていると思ってる

@Iwatekko6969 In Missouri, we have pork *steaks*.

⋯⋯ん？ 今日一日、アメリカの善き人々たちご自慢のBBQツイートを見ていて気がついたことがある。 アメリカ人、BBQでは豚肉食わないんか？　ほとんど牛肉なのでは。 アメリカでは豚肉はBBQに使わないの？

@MrCheese99000 @tanomuzeA As a Missourian who lives just across the river from Illinois, you have my sympathies, and should you wish to make your way to a saner state, (or at least a state where the crazy people are quieter about it) we will welcome you with open arms.

@tanomuzeA I live in Illinois, I love my state but it's run horribly. A lot of people hate California because a lot of bad policies come from there and their people are taught that, and then they move to the rest of America spreading their bad policies
