Priest. I don't take social media seriously, and my low-effort posts prove it. Decentralize the Internet.

I can't believe it's an American. A Chicago boy.
If you think you know what's going on at a Conclave, the reality is that you have no idea.

I would be sad for the world to lose "Pierbattista Pizzaballa" should he be chosen but really, there is no one on earth who should get to select their own name more.

At first glance, it might look like "++Pierbattista Pizzaballa" means "Pizza Ball," or, as I've adopted, "Pizza Baller," summoning the image of a man playing basketball with a pizza.
In reality, his last name means "Pizza Dance," which is even worse than anything you've concocted in your own head.

Ahh, Lynch's "Elephant Man" is so beautiful. Been a long time since I engaged a piece of art and said, "I'm a better human being for having seen that."

Annual post about how the tax code lumps diocesan priests into a tax code that only makes sense for Protestant ministers.

Well, it's the second half and the Bears haven't embarrassed us yet, so at least there's that.

As much as I like to rag on Bluesky for not decentralizing, don't sleep on what others have built to fill some gaps.
Hi all! We had some downtime for Bluesky => fediverse last night, starting 10:15p PT, and fediverse => Bluesky this morning 7-10a PT ish. We've worked through the backlog and should be back to normal now. Sorry for the trouble!

Not feeling well, so rewatching Tarkovsky's brilliant "Stalker." Nothing like befuddling movies to heal what ails.

What do I miss living south of I-80? One thing, and precisely one thing only: good hot dogs. These murmurs of a Portillo's coming to the county haven't amounted to anything yet.
This is a rich text.
Also, I’m kind of hungry for a hot dog.

Bluesky just received massive funding from a crypto financier, so uh... that's gotta not be good.

The White Sox have lost their 120th game, tying the '62 Mets for the most ever.
It's been a long road, but I knew they could do it. The record will be all theirs this week.

Amazing, how the White Sox's best pitcher makes them even worse: his pitch count is limited due to age/experience, so out he goes in the 2nd inning, and in comes one of the worst bullpens ever devised.
It's an auto-loss, every time.

Well earned, unfortunately. I loved the story outline, but an absolute masterclass in bad writing and lore development. Give the rest of the story to a competent author for a novel, please. I'd read it.
