And finally, the recently rescued elderly brown mutt! She lived a hard life, but managed to remain a sweetie ❤️

Nature or nurture? 🧐

@No5mallf3at @PAHoyeck @Benthamsbulldog

@ejpreston @PAHoyeck It’s a thing because @Benthamsbulldog knows it will get attention. It’s that simple. I doubt it will drum up as much as before tho.

I hate when “Le Continentals” posts go viral: first because the arguments against Continentals are always unabashedly dumb; second because the responses in defense are somehow even more cringe.

@PAHoyeck @neiltyson Honestly man? There’s so many other science communicators who simply do a better job. Sorry not sorry, Tyson needs to step out of the way so to speak.

@ejpreston @neiltyson I like Neil deGrasse Tyson quite a bit, but he does fall prey to a lot of conceptual blunders once he leaves his own territory.

I really wish people would stop saying things like this. To believe something is to take it to be true. If you think it's true we went to the moon, you believe it, end of story. Theology is neither here nor there.

Same 😂😂

@No5mallf3at @BecomingDevil Too good 😅

@BecomingDevil Delete the words “the same” and “I do” and you may find your answer.

Sometimes I'm wondering if marxists read the same Marx I do?

Happy Easter to all our Orthodox brothers and sisters! ❤️

Rhymes with penocide

@four4thefire @CathyYoung63 And in doing so we know our history.

We can read

@richardrohlin Truly He is risen! Happy Easter brother

Christ is risen!

@JackPosobiec Brother. Significant portions of believers somehow think the Pope is a Marxist… that the Church itself is Marxist.

When you say ‘’My Brother in Christ’ that is unironically how you should treat all other Christians The bolsheviks want to kill us all Imagine spending all you time attacking your brothers in Christ You are doing the Left’s work for them

Photos I took in Hagia Sophia yesterday

Excellent news, though frustrated that this doesn’t take effect until 2030

@PAHoyeck @worst_account wtf is going on lately? Is twitter getting dumber at a heightened rate?

@worst_account Suddenly, overnight, everyone decided they didn't understand what "social commentary" means.

Lol neither of those things are "social commentary."

@AuronMacintyre @Reece_Robert_76

@Reece_Robert_76 No, it is your country

There's a lot going on here and most of it's highly controversial and uncomfortable but without looking at the difficult stuff we can't see the whole board so strap in: America was founded predominantly by Anglo-Protestants, Catholics were here since the begging and they even got Maryland but that didn't go so well and it reverted to protestant control The American ruling class was dominated by high-church Anglos When the first big waves of Irish, German, and Italian immigration arrived they were Catholic, the ethnic and religious tensions began Much like Indian immigrants do today, Catholics took over urban hubs and used machine politics to turn government jobs into ethnic cartels, Catholic neighborhood form, Catholic schools segregate out the new minorities and allow them to retain their culture and faith We also start to see significant Eastern European immigration which is why America has more Jews here than Israel does in their specifically Jewish ethno-state This is how we got the Know Nothings (beware of foreign influence, Catholics will follow their king in Rome) Most people think of the KKK as an organization that tormented black Americans but it was mainly a protestant reaction to Catholic and Jewish immigration Catholic and Jewish diasporas were able to control local urban politics but found it difficult to break into the higher echelon because the ruling class remained White Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASPs) and they were uninterested in handing power to the new comers This is why you heard so much about Catholics and Jews being excluded from country clubs, where WASPs did the real politics The mainline Protestant denominations held the ruling class but evangelical low-church Protestantism swept through the heartland The ruling class might have been Anglican/Episcopalian but evangelicals had the passion and the numbers Jews were already not huge fans of Catholics for reasons that should be obvious, and Evangelicals adopted this novel form of theology called dispensationalism that featured the Jews prominently as a chosen people to be protected and to whom a homeland was owed if Jesus was to return Evangelicals are also very politically convenient because while they have the numbers and accumulated wealth to be very politically useful, they have no interest in ruling Many Evangelicals even believe that holding power is against their religion and are very amenable to handing power to another ruling class So you start to see an Evangelical-Jewish axis form in American politics to unseat the WASPs and freeze out the Catholics Dispensationalism was key to securing support for the founding of Israel and Jewish allies here are very aware of how important it is to keep Evangelicals the dominate Christians force in America politics But as America continued to experience unprecedented levels of legal and illegal immigration it didn't just shift the ethnic make up, but the religious composition as well When foreigners are Christian (instead of say Muslim or Hindu) they are not Evangelical, they're Catholic or Orthodox (sorry Catholic bros but America isn't getting more Catholic, it's getting more foreign and less American) These immigrants don't have the American addiction to WW2 Holocaust history and their faith is at best neutral to Judaism, if not openly hostile They're not natural allies to Israel and American Jews are very aware of this So what you are watching under the surface of the current debate is an ethno-religious shake up of the American political landscape The remaining WASPs who resent losing power aligning to some extent with Catholics (who were already ascending, notice the Supreme Court and conservative intelligentsia are increasingly more Catholic and less Jewish) while Jewish Americans attempt to hold onto their hard won positions by utilizing their alliance with Evangelicals Paula White vs The Pope, it's just ethno-religious factionalism dressed up in ideology

@Instigatator @TheLaurenChen Indeed it’s actually the left that has either corrupted classics and humanities programs, or outright eliminated them

@TheLaurenChen I believe the right has always been devoted to the classics. If not there would be nothing to conserve.

This may be an unpopular take amongst the right But art and the humanities are important Beauty and entertainment are important Education should be about more than rote memorization
