I genuinely do think reading the GOP as a cross between Latin American personalist parties and the Austrian Christian Socials is the best way to understand the contemporary party system

Sunflowers: just the thing for a satisfying annual garden. (Protected them from vermin until they’ve germinated.)
They grow satisfyingly quickly, and pollinators love them, too!

I didn’t know until now that in the original Rosie the Riveter painting, she is crushing a copy of Mein Kampf under her foot. Happy feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, remembering all the women who crush the serpents of Satan under their heel.

Celebrating Father’s Day at Valley Forge by stage-whispering to Father Rector that a wasp had flown onto the ciborium mid-Consecration and that it needed to be removed before the Cel touched it

I mean, I *like* Ascension Day. I just wish there were ways to keep it that don’t dynamite… the only evening this week in which it isn’t pouring… with a 90-minute liturgy.

1) USPS did not lose $3.3b. It provided a service that cost $3.3b. *The Pentagon* loses you money, however, every time it accidentally yeets a fighter jet off the deck of a carrier
NEW: The U.S. Postal Service posted a net loss of $3.3 billion in this fiscal year’s second quarter mainly due to “significant challenges out of our control,” including workers’ compensation costs, Luke Grossmann, USPS chief financial officer, said at the open session of the governing board meeting

I have in general become way less tolerant of ‘crunchy’ bullshit since ascension of people like RFK jr. to actual power. Sorry but the obnoxious Reddit science and logic guys were right, you should be scorned for believing objectively wrong things about consequential issues.

Quite a bit of this unofficial marker is, quite frankly, inspired fiction, the product of fishy secondary sources, or faulty memory.

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw
