What I choose to take away from this is that one teenage girl can make herself just as scary to governments as the richest man in the world. You heard Vance, everyone, one person can make a difference--now get to work.

"Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons...The true ordo amoris that must be promoted is that which we discover by meditating...on the love that builds a fraternity open to all, without exception."

The Vice President of the United States is trashing some random professor over his imagined IQ score, all while revealing himself to be the sort of dude who reads fundamentalist Catholic homeschooling blogs instead of, say, the Pauline epistles.

Just google "ordo amoris." Aside from that, the idea that there isn't a hierarchy of obligations violates basic common sense. Does Rory really think his moral duties to his own children are the same as his duties to a stranger who lives thousands of miles away? Does anyone?

A bizarre take on John 15:12-13 - less Christian and more pagan tribal. We should start worrying when politicians become theologians, assume to speak for Jesus, and tell us in which order to love... x.com/jackp...

I've said before and I'll say it again: the problem with Rory and people like him is that he has an IQ of 110 and thinks he has an IQ of
130. This false arrogance drives so much elite failure over the last 40 years.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:on5oeywiqx32fh2zau473wz6/bafkreicltyis7dhyq42wasevlwygn6qgyowbznty2ciborvzyjlogkwm2m@jpeg)

Well, thats one take on "love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater."
(One wrong take.)

The ideology of the religious is self-interest with a veneer of piety.

Had a brief conversation about how it would be fun to go to NYC this fall and made this discovery. So we’re going to Chicago instead, where we found hotels for less than $150.
New York City hotels charged an average of $417 per night in September, the highest monthly rate ever for the city. Many travelers are experiencing sticker shock. “I don’t understand how normal people can go there,” one tourist said. nyti.ms/3ZoNWxo

Parenting a toddler is weird because one second you’re yelling at your kid to put on clothes before they go outside and the next you are literally answering why the sky is blue and the next you’re discussing a crack in the universe they found that leads to a waffle dimension.

“Women are walking around, suspicious and guarded and apoplectic, knowing that some in our families or neighborhoods voted us back into second-class status, and wondering what else they’re ready to go along with.”
