@Mariners @whitesox Classy move by the @whitesox! What a great tribute.

Rick Rizzs is feeling the love on the South Side 🥹 A tip of the cap to the @whitesox for honoring the Chicago native during his final season behind the mic.

@JamesMartinSJ I've been a lapsed Catholic for almost 30 years...but even I would agree the Pope is unquestionably and eminently qualified to "opine" (aka present his thoroughly educated conclusions) on matters of theology.

Yes, he really said that. Yesterday Vice President JD Vance criticized Pope Leo XIV for not knowing enough theology: "I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology ... If you’re going to opine on matters of theology, you’ve got to be careful, you’ve got to make sure it’s anchored in the truth," he said, at a Turning Point conference. One of the many, many, ironies about that statement is that it came in response to Pope Leo's comments about war and peace and, specifically, the concept of "just war," which originated with St. Augustine. As many have already noted, when the Vice President was making his comments, Pope Leo XIV, a member of the Augustinian Order, and twice Prior General of the Augustinians before his election as Pope, was visiting the hometown of St. Augustine, then called "Hippo," now in Annaba, a town in modern-day Algeria. For good measure, Pope Leo XIV, the man critiqued for insufficient theological education, earned not only a master's degree in divinity, but also licentiate and a doctorate in canon law from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. JD Vance's recent conversion to Catholicism is beside the point, because many converts are of course not only highly intelligent (and learned in theology) but faithful and energetic Catholics. We rejoice over everyone entering the church. What most of us do not rejoice over, however, is a deadly combination of inaccuracy and hubris. Pace, Vice President Vance, but the current war in Iran is not a just war under Catholic doctrine. You can hear that from church leaders from across the theological spectrum, from Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the head of the military vicariate and former head of the @USCCB, to Cardinal Robert McElroy, Archbishop of Washington who holds doctorates in both theology and political science. You can look all that up online. Suffice to say, the Vice President doesn't seem to understand the tenets of just war. Nor does he seem to understand the fundamental position of the church, which is for peace. "War is always a defeat for humanity," as St. John Paul II said. If that authority isn't enough, then turn to Jesus who said, "Blessed are the peacemakers," not "Blessed are the warmongers." And after the Resurrection, the Risen Christ says to the frightened disciples not "Vengeance is mine" but "Peace be with you." Incidentally, the day before, the Vice President said that the Pope (and the Vatican) should stick to teaching about morality, also seeming to forget that war and peace are profoundly moral issues. For his part, Pope Leo was focused yesterday on his spiritual father, St. Augustine. After what seemed like an emotional visit to Hippo, he celebrated Mass at the Basilica of St. Augustine in Annaba. During his homily he said, "The primary task of pastors as ministers of the Gospel is therefore to bear witness to God before the world with one heart and one soul, not permitting our concerns to lead us astray through fear, nor trends to undermine us through compromise." Amen. Let's all continue to pray for the Holy Father as he works for peace. (Image: Pope Leo XIV prays at the archeological ruins of Hippo, home of St. Augustine, in current-day Algeria. CNS photo).

@ChristnNitemare Meanwhile she’ll get shamed and shunned for showing all that leg

Jesus Christ…

@Matt_Pinner Henrietta! She’s beautiful!

Vintage old lady name for this DOG please

@HawkEmDownChris 👑 Félix!! #34

@hell_line0 The response? "Still looking for a man of substance worth listening to. Know any?"

A man who is 15 years older than me has been messaging me for a few weeks. I initially politely declined his interest in “getting to know each other,” and have not been replying to any of his messages since. Today he sent me this message: “I need to teach you that the virtue of an intelligent woman is to listen when a man of substance is speaking .” 🚩 He might as well put up a billboard that says he is a controlling narcissist.

@luxemiaa This is the correct response. Encourage her early and often to *embarrass* men when they act inappropriately, to her or to the women around her!

This woman said: Guys I am not ok. I was at the store with my daughter and while she went down the isle to grab a big fluffy pillow, some guy walked up to me and said damn girl, you got a fat 🍑. I turned around to respond but didnt get a chance. My daughter overheard him and b4 i could say anything she said "what did that guy say to you?!" Without missing a beat my 11 yr old turned to him and yelled, "what did you say to my mother bitch?!" "YOU BETTER APOLOGIZE YOU PUNK ASS CRUSTY DUSTY MUSTY BITCH!" I was 💀😱 .......

@KeruboSk This is a "10/10, no notes" clapback. Bravo, Dr. Sundaram!

My colleague, a nephrologist: Hi, I’m Dr. Sundaram Patient: I’m not saying that. What’s your first name? Her: Doctor Patient: I don’t understand why there aren’t more doctors with regular American names like Johnson and Smith Her: Because they didn’t get into medical school, but if you’d like me to care for you, I’m happy to do that.

@AngieMentink So SO glad you are OK, and have an incredible support system surrounding you. Was wonderful seeing you on the broadcast last night, here’s to many (many!!) more.

Hugs I will take all of your hugs but no more lasagna— It is so damn tasty and I ate it 3 meals a day. I always struggle deciding on breakfast and it made it too easy.

@Mr_Husky1 Too many to list them all, but the first two that come to mind are schlocketts (chocolate) and sand-wench (sandwich)

Admit it: Your kid mispronounced a word three years ago and now the whole family says it that way. What's the word in your house? (We still say 'pasketti' and I’m not stopping anytime soon.)

@senatoradrianna That was…extremely unexpected. Hey maybe he wanted to get his worst start out of the way early and is gonna be lights out the rest of the season! 🤞🏼

FOLKS—

@wanglaurentceo Don’t forget the part where the US Embassy in Cuba asked to import diesel to keep its own generators running…can you imagine the audacity?! (Cuba refused to allow it.)

@itsqail You forgot the Prius drivers who love to enforce the speed limit in the left lane. It's *always* a Prius.

Worst drivers u can encounter on the road: 1. Teslas (all clueless) 2. Beat up Honda Civic/accord (suicidal drivers) 3. Any BMW (a different kind of douchebag/entitled) 4. Angry F-150 guys (no explanation necessary/they need therapy)

As a Mariner, Geno became my favorite player, and will remain one of my favorites regardless of whose jersey he wears. If Team USA couldn't win, I could not be happier that this walking embodiment of joy was the one who sealed the win for his country.

@JoeFortenbaugh 2028 Olympics?

If there’s any concern over the pitch count for Paul Skenes, just remember he won’t pitch in another meaningful game until the 2030 WBC.

@marxiners The good news is, WBC is now and World Series isn't until October/November...it's entirely possible that both can happen. It's not like he said, "I would skip the World Series to go try to win the WBC" - I don't understand why everyone is acting like this is an either/or.

if you are a mariners fan that somehow takes exception with this, i strongly encourage you to see yourself out

@reach_baseball burpees

this angle of the video is honestly just unsettling...he was in the middle of diving and then all of a sudden he was just standing??? how could a human being get up that quickly????

@Brett_327 @AllThingsCivil Was coming here to say the exact same thing.

@AllThingsCivil TBH, she’ll fit right in. The USAF seems to have a weird overt religiosity among some senior leaders that I haven’t observed in other services.

Zero qualifications and a heavy religious bias, tough to think of a worse choice

@kairo7news Last year I fully embraced the Brewers during their playoff run.

Hey mariners fans, what’s your second favorite baseball team? I love me some Padres and Petco park

@annoyingastros Ever hear "don't yuck someone's yum??" If YOU don't like it, YOU don't have to participate, but you also don't have to shit all over something completely harmless that brings other people a modicum of joy in this world.

I need the baseball girly trend to end immediately tbh You are not owed a follow back simply bc you’re a baseball fan.
