Every Tuesday my daughter brings a magazine to school so she can read it aloud to one of her friends at recess. This experience is going to be so helpful if she grows up to be an eligible bachelor in an Austen novel.

There are 62 days left in which Christians can do hot takes on the future of Nicaea for its 700th anniversary this year so if you haven’t got one yet, it is ok, all churches councils were hashed out well after they inked the statement.

We have a parent friend who spells the word "yeah" as "yea" and it makes every text exchange feel like I'm talking to a Shakespeare character. If I can get her to start saying "verily" and "forsooth" it'll be perfect.

I'm firmly convinced that somewhere near me there is a dude who owns a collection of Beech Bonanzas, and every morning he checks the Skycard missions, hops in the wrong model, and just flies around all day.

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

At a local No Kings rally near Innsmouth, Massachusetts, *every* protester showed up in an inflatable frog costume.
They must be from a different supplier than the Portland frog's costume, though. Bystanders describe the costumes as more like fish-frogs, "batrachian," with an odd, loping gait.
