The thing about watching the West Wing today isn’t that it’s aged poorly (it hasn’t). It’s that it takes you back to a time when many still believed that public service could be a noble calling. An entire generation has now grown up without that feeling.

Senator and Mrs. Hooper have been such a huge part of our Senate family for the last 8 years. We cherish the time we've had with them and wish the Hoopers every happiness (many cruises and lots of golf) in retirement. ❤️⛳️🚢

I’ve been blessed with an incredible 16 years in the Legislature. Though I have 2 years left, Lee & I have decided it’s time to fully enjoy retirement. It’s hard to say goodbye to everyone we’ve come to love through this process. I’m grateful to each of you.

I will never forgive HBO/BBC for cancelling this prematurely and rushing the final episodes to wrap it up. They built these amazing sets which they could have used for 10 more seasons and then just scrapped them. And it’s not like they lacked for storylines.
cinesthetic.@TheCinesthetic

Rome (2005–2007) genuinely looked bigger and richer than most movies airing at the time. The sets, costumes, crowd scenes, political drama …every episode felt like HBO accidentally dropped a full historical epic onto television every week.

If you pitched this as a screenplay every studio would reject it for being too on-the-nose. A 73-year-old architect walks to confession in 1926 and gets hit by a tram on the Gran Via in Barcelona. He's mistaken for a vagrant because of his worn clothes and left at a pauper's hospital. He dies three days later. His name is Antoni Gaudí. The cathedral he leaves behind is less than a quarter complete. The plans to finish it sit in his workshop as plaster models and detailed drawings. Ten years after his death, in July 1936, FAI anarchists break into that workshop. They smash the plaster models. They burn the archive of drawings and calculations. They pry open Gaudí's tomb. For the next 50 years, architects piece together a destroyed playbook from photographs and broken plaster fragments. The geometry was the real problem. Gaudí designed the church using upside-down hanging-chain models because the math for hyperboloid intersections did not yet exist on paper. He had solved it physically. Computers finally caught up to him in the 1980s. By 2010 the project was 50% complete. By 2015 stone elements that took months to hand-carve were being modelled digitally and machine-cut in days. Now the kicker. The building is funded entirely by people paying admission to see scaffolding. €134.5 million of income in 2025, all private, none of it from the Spanish state or the Vatican. About 4.7 million tourists a year buying €26 tickets to watch a cathedral get built. The unfinished state was the product. On June 10, 2026, exactly 100 years to the day after Gaudí died, the cross goes up on the Tower of Jesus Christ. 144 years from groundbreaking. 172.5 meters tall. The tallest church building in the world, beating Ulm Minster, which took 513 years. When asked why his project was taking so long, Gaudí said one thing: "My client is not in a hurry." Turns out neither was he.

The world's tallest church is about to get its crown. On June 10, 2026, exactly 100 years after Antoni Gaudí's death, the Sagrada Família will inaugurate the four-armed cross atop the Tower of Jesus Christ.

Tampa: access to TLM at Epiphany Parish in Seminole Heights; two thriving parishes in South Tampa (Christ the King and St Patrick’s) as well as the historic Sacred Heart Parish run by Franciscan friars in downtown…a budding classical Catholic education community with Regina Caeli and St. Thomas Aquinas Academy…

On day 1 of my high school history class, our professor got up and said You are 15 or 16 years old. 200 years ago people your age were married, planted crops, had children, and built a cabin by winter. You can do your homework. The bar set for you historically is embarrassingly low. You are not dealing with regional famine or plague. You do not have to save your family from marauders or go into battle to destroy your enemies. You have to sit down and learn from someone who cares about you in a safe, air-conditioned room. You have no excuses.
