Men only: What movies/series would you add lads?

@eu_eeas "The EU will continue to defend press freedom at home and around the world." Lies. Just endless lies. The EU doesn't believe in freedom of speech - and it engages in its very own disinformation! Shame on the EU.

A free press is essential to democracy. Across the world, journalists are threatened, forced into exile, detained or killed for doing their job, as we have seen in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and in conflicts in the Middle East and Africa.  Disinformation and intimidation continue to undermine independent journalism and the public’s right to know. The EU will continue to defend press freedom at home and around the world. Read the full statement by the HR/VP @kajakallas on behalf of the EU: link.europa.eu/6qWdMh

@Glenn_Diesen European leaders give the impression that they yearn for war. Maybe to distract from their domestic unpopularity.

The US is not ending the Ukraine War; it is preparing the Europeans to fight Russia.

@whatonnetflix Casting looks about right for current Hollywood.

We got one new piece of casting news for NARNIA: THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW. Kobna Holdbrook-Smith will be playing the role of Francis, who we expect is Frank the Cabby in the book. More details: whats-on-netflix.com/news/kobna-hol…

@NarniaFans The battle of Charn.

In honor of the anniversary of the publication of the book on May 2, 1955, we have a question for you: What's the one moment you always think of from THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW?

@NarniaWeb Fantastic story. I just hope the Gerwig film does it justice!

The Magician's Nephew turns 71 years old today! 🎉 C.S. Lewis's beloved Narnia prequel was published on May 2nd, 1955. #Narnia

Socialism is driven by envy of the rich, not concern for the poor.

@ChaghaalMoadab @D_Tarczynski People's income isn't the only thing that can be taxed.

@cortadinho @D_Tarczynski No EU gov can run without taxes (exception maybe Norway).

Be Like Poland 🇵🇱

@ChaghaalMoadab @D_Tarczynski Not paying income tax should be the natural state. The goal shouldn't be to tax others, but to eliminate the tax for all. So this is a step in the right direction.

@D_Tarczynski Why should people without kids pay for the ones with the kids?

@teslaownersSV The graph suggests (and logic would dictate) that contraception is to blame.

ITALY IS DYING — AND THE NUMBERS ARE BRUTAL Italy just recorded its lowest number of births since 1861. Only 355,000 babies were born in 2025, while deaths reached 652,000 — a net loss of nearly 300,000 people in a single year. The total fertility rate has collapsed to 1.14 children per woman, far below the 2.1 needed to sustain a population. This isn’t a temporary dip. It’s a long-term demographic collapse that threatens Italy’s entire future: shrinking workforce, collapsing pensions, aging society, and disappearing regions. Without massive immigration, Italy’s population would be shrinking even faster. This is what happens when birth rates stay critically low for decades. Italy is the clearest warning sign for many other developed nations heading in the same direction.

@YossiBenYakar @grok can you give me a year-by-year breakdown of the number of churches on fire in France, starting from around the year 2000 to 2025?

BREAKING NEWS from France: The historic Saint-Cyriaque church in Montenach built between 1884 and 1886 and which survived two world wars has been ravaged by fire. Around sixty firefighters were called to the scene. No casualties reported. Yet another European church goes up in flames. Europe is watching its Christian heritage literally go up in smoke — and the silence is deafening.

@maddenifico There are six Democrats on the Supreme Court? 🤔

The United States Supreme Court, in the eyes of America and the world.

@EvaVlaar @UKOrdinariate The UK government is full of lunatics.

A little over three years ago my dad and I were confirmed and received into the Holy Catholic Church at the @UKOrdinariate in London. Now I cannot visit that church anymore, because I got banned from the UK for criticizing Starmer. What a time we live in.

@POLITICOEurope She's not very good at policy.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has warned Europe against putting itself in a position of weakness, saying the bloc should not “humiliate” itself by begging Moscow to negotiate. politico.eu/article/dont-b…

@PotterWorldW @grok replace the African gentleman with Alan Rickman's Snape.

What is your excitement level for this out of 10?

@SamSneed94 @Fidias0 Orthodox, yes; Catholic, no.

@Fidias0 Wait priests can have sex ?

When your father is the priest at your wedding

@ChristopherHale He speaks a lot of jargon.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV appoints the youngest bishop in the United States. Robert Boxie III, 46, is a new auxiliary bishop of Washington. Boxie has been outspoken against the White House’s attacks against racial diversity. “It’s really frustrating — especially this moment that we’re living in. The attacks on ‘DEI’ — I don’t even know what that means anymore. It’s a term that’s been hijacked. It means a lot of things to a lot of different people.” “I think at its core, it’s what America is all about. We are a diverse nation with people from all over the world. Diversity is a good thing. Diversity is of God.” “And the fact that it’s been turned into something negative — or something that should be avoided or not talked about — just flies in the face of who we are as Americans.” “So much of our history has been exclusive, especially when it comes to race. And it’s just un-American; it’s un-Christian; it’s anti-Catholic.”

NEW: Pope Leo XIV has named Salvadoran immigrant Evelio Menijar-Ayala to be West Virginia’s lone Catholic bishop. As a teenager, he made three attempts to enter the United States illegally. He finally arrived in California in 1990, having been smuggled in the trunk of a car with his brother over the border crossing between Tijuana and San Diego. Over the next several years, Menjivar-Ayala worked janitorial and construction jobs in California before deciding to become a priest. It’s a remarkable choice in a state that is over 90% white and voted for President Trump by 42 points.

@amyklobuchar Justice Kagan doesn't sound very mature.

Justice Kagan says it best

@TheDuranReal Her:

Kallas says no return to “business as usual” with Russia even after the war ends. Dead-end diplomacy, Kallas style.

@ReverendWarnock Don't be a silly sausage. The Supreme Court is doing nothing of the sort and you know it.

Trump's Supreme Court is dragging us back to the dark and ugly days of Jim Crow. x.com/abc/status/204…
