Firing the Army chief of staff in the middle of a war is always a sign that things are going great

Madness.

Enter the mystery of Holy Thursday: youtu.be/jo9yBZ6sK4Q?si…

Space is so cool!

Madden Orlovsky had a heartfelt message for his family and friends in honor of World Autism Awareness Day 🥹 This was a special moment for all of us at ESPN. Thanks, Madden and @danorlovsky7 ❤️

The night before he died, our Lord Jesus brought a new reality into the world. As Lord of creation, he authored something previously unimagined. He found a new way to unite the realms of spirit and flesh. americamagazine.org/good-word/2026…

This seems like one of Pope Leo’s major addresses so far: tinyurl.com/38pvefyt

President Trump said all the Gold Star family members of service members killed during Operation Epic Fury told him to “finish the job” in Iran. Charles Simmons, father of Tech. Sgt. Tyler H. Simmons, said he did not. nbcnews.com/politics/donal…

Anyone tell Thiel yet that we found the guy he’s looking for? Kind of a slam dunk if you ask me.

This speech is insane. Our President is a lunatic. Also, he sounds like a moron. A real low IQ individual. Don’t be numb to how crazy this is.

The *average* U.S. diocese is preparing to welcome 38% more new Catholics at Easter in 2026 than in 2025: hallow.com/blog/catholic-…

Asking God, in a public prayer, to help a political leader make wise decisions, care for the poor, seek peace, foster harmony, and try to include all those who feel excluded? Yes. Comparing a political leader, in a public prayer, to the sinless Son of God during Holy Week? No.

Quite the midterm message: we can afford wars and ballrooms, but not your “daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things”

This is the shot you can’t get from the press site. This camera was sitting a few football fields from the SLS rocket at Pad 39B for days before launch, baking in the Florida sun, surviving rain, humidity, and whatever else the Cape threw at it. No photographer behind the viewfinder. Just a camera, a sound trigger, and a bet. The way pad remotes work: you set your camera up days in advance, dial in your composition, lock everything down, and walk away. You don’t touch it again until after the launch. The shutter fires on sound activation with a @MiopsTrigger smart+ trigger. With SLS, the four RS-25 engines ignite six seconds before the solid rocket boosters, so the camera is already firing before the vehicle even leaves the pad. You get home, pull the card, and find out if you nailed it or if a bird landed on your lens two days ago and left your a present and you got 400 photos of soemthing crappy. There’s no formula for protecting your gear this close. Some photographers build wooden boxes with doors that pop open. Some use plastic bags and tape. Some do plastic or metal barn door rigs on hinges. I tend to leave mine open just in plastic rain covers because boxes limit my composition and setup time, but that means your cameras are more exposed to the elements and whatever energy and debris comes off the pad. You’re basically gambling a camera body every time you set one. That’s what I love about this genre. There’s no playbook. You make it up as you go. Every time is an adventure. 📸 credit: me for @SuperclusterHQ - Artemis II pad remote | ~1,000 ft from Pad 39B | Kennedy Space Center

NEW: Bishop Barron went on Ben Shapiro's show during Holy Week and told millions of listeners that Pope Leo’s Palm Sunday anti-war message was about unjust war in the abstract — not the Iran bombing campaign the pope has spent weeks condemning. Shapiro was one of three stops. Barron also appeared on the Will Cain Show and the Hugh Hewitt Show — a whirlwind tour of exclusively right-wing media the day before the Triduum began in his diocese. The pope quoted Isaiah to those whose hands are full of blood. Barron’s response, delivered across a right-wing program to millions of conservative listeners, was to assure them that Leo probably meant something else. substack.com/home/post/p-19…

Marco Rubio: “Just because you’re born on U.S. soil doesn’t make you a citizen. Your parents must be U.S. citizens.” Grok: “Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971. His parents became citizens in 1975. Rubio is a beneficiary of birthright citizenship.”

Liftoff. The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon. Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

The Department is delighted to announce that Professor Anna Rowlands has been appointed by Pope Leo to serve in the capacity of a 'Member' of the Dicastery of Integral Human Development. This department of the Vatican looks after matters related to social teachings,

A cutting reflection from Cardinal Ratzinger, Good Friday 2005: "Pilate is not utterly evil. He knows that the condemned man is innocent, and he looks for a way to free him. But his heart is divided. And in the end he lets his own position, his own self-interest, prevail over what is right. Nor are the men who are shouting and demanding the death of Jesus utterly evil. Many of them, on the day of Pentecost, will feel "cut to the heart," when Peter will say to them: "Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God... you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law." But at that moment they are caught up in the crowd. They are shouting because everyone else is shouting, and they are shouting the same thing that everyone else is shouting. And in this way, justice is trampled underfoot by weakness, cowardice and fear of the diktat of the ruling mindset. The quiet voice of conscience is drowned out by the cries of the crowd. Evil draws its power from indecision and concern for what other people think."

Amen!!
