I ask Grok whether Cancel Culture can be compared to the account of Amalek in the Bible. x.com/i/grok/share/o…

@AutisticClip Truth hurts 🤷‍♂️ We had a chance at maybe fixing the demographic problem 10 years ago with border wall, mass deportations, immigration moratorium. But Trump fucked around and blew it. After 2029 realistically there is little chance to meaningfully reverse it. Damage is done.

@StriderTB @uspto I am too thats all I know

@uspto Is TSDR down? I'm getting a 403 Forbidden error.

OTD in 1884, Josiah H. L. Tuck was granted U.S. Pat. No. 297,647 for a “submarine vessel”—an early dive into underwater innovation. Long before “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,” inventors like Tuck were already imagining life beneath the waves. 🌊

A reminder that 1) By the Centennial, baseball existed and 2) 150 years ago people wrote (and probably) thought very differently.

@OfOisisn @EMichaelJones1 The defense sounded like, "Of course we defend reason. The Koran tells us to".

@EMichaelJones1 A rather long winded defense of logic and reason within Islam and how Islam is rich in deep philosophical footings by the Muslim apologist. So then, why did Pakistan outlaw weather reports?

There is a way past the absurd and deeply divisive “war” between the President and the Pope, which has been enthusiastically ginned up by the press. And it is indicated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 2309 to be precise. After laying out the various criteria for determining a just war—proportionality, last resort, declaration by a competent authority, reasonable hope of success, etc.—the Catechism points out that “the evaluation of these conditions for moral legitimacy belongs to the prudential judgment of those who have responsibility for the common good.” The assumption is that the just war principles function, to use the technical term, as heuristic devices, designed to guide the practical decision-making of those civil authorities who have to adjudicate matters of war and peace. The role of the Church, therefore, is to call for peace and to urge that any conflict be strictly circumscribed by the moral constraints of the just war criteria. But it is not the role of the Church to evaluate whether a particular war is just or unjust. That appraisal belongs to the civil authorities, who, one presumes, have requisite knowledge of conditions on the ground. So, is the war in question truly the last resort? Is there really a balance between the good to be attained and the destruction caused by the war? Are combatants and non-combatants being properly distinguished in the waging of the conflict? Do the belligerents have right intention? Is there a reasonable hope of success? The posing of those questions—indeed the insistence upon their moral relevance—belongs rightly to the Church, but the answering of them belongs to the civil authorities. The Pope has said, on numerous occasions, that he is not a politician and that his role is not the determination of any nation's foreign policy. But he has just as clearly said that he will continue to speak for peace and for moral constraint. In making both of these claims, he is operating perfectly within the framework of paragraph 2309 of the Catechism. If we understand that the Pope and the President have qualitatively different roles to play in the determination of moral action in regard to war, we can, I hope, extricate ourselves from the completely unhelpful narrative of “Pope vs. President.”

@EMichaelJones1 “terms have objective meaning” mistakes social convention for inherent property. A word is a sign, not a thing with intrinsic meaning. You know what else "fanatic" means? "I am a St. Louis Cardinals fan(atic)." This guy is a career Thomist??

Is dementia contagious? Mr. Budiziczewski, a writer for Catholic World Report, who apparently got his degree in theology by watching Fox News, opined in this article that: "Like the term 'terrorist,' the term 'fanatic' also has objective meaning. A fanatic is not merely someone who holds his beliefs strongly; the question is what he believes strongly. Nor is he merely someone who strongly holds beliefs other than his own; the question is whether he strongly holds evil beliefs and is willing to act on them to the harm of others. The belief of the Iranian regime that Allah countenances the deliberate targeting of innocents and noncombatants is simply evil.  This fact should not be controversial." If the term "terrorist" has an objective meaning then the main terrorist states are Israel and the United States. The pope is now offering a 12 step program for recovering Neocon Catholics. But Mr. B hasn't gotten the memo.

Catholic World Report goes full neocon, leveling accusations against Iran which are nothing more than Israeli talking points. catholicworldreport.com/2026/04/14/is-… "Iran is ruled by terroristic fanatics who systematically undermine peace in the region, already possess missiles that can hit Europe, are very close to the achievement of nuclear weapons by which they can threaten and utterly destroy their neighbors, and have a history of negotiating in bad faith."

So the ship blockade begins...

@Pirates One of the best nicknames in all of MLB. RIP

It is with a heavy heart that we confirm the passing of former Pirates infielder Phil Garner. "Scrap Iron” was a beloved member of the Pirates family as he spent five of his 16 Major League seasons playing with the Pirates (1977-1981), capturing a World Series championship in 1979. He batted .417 in the N.L. Championship Series that year and .500 in seven games against the Baltimore Orioles in the Fall Classic.

instead of a horse-head in the bed, John Marley got horse-power in the head #svengoolie

#svengoolie It seems Batman had an ungodly number of Playboy centerfolds on the show. If the 7-year old me ever knew. Terry Moore as Venus.

@Megiddo04079256 Good catch. And look at the heroes: 8 men. Women back in town minding the kids. You wont catch movies doing that much past 1977.

That final music flourish is used in so many movies…Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Rebel Without a Cause” etc. #svengoolie #metv #tcmparty #thelastdrivein
