If you want to absolve yourself of all blame for the shutdown, I would this afternoon as minority leader announce I will no longer filibuster appropriations bills, then I will abolish the filibuster in power. This renders the filibuster meaningless today.

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

Do not make your confession to a chat bot. Not only do you have no sacramental assurance, the wretched thing can probably be subpoenaed.
The “faith tech” industry is booming, as millions of people are turning to chatbots to confess their darkest secrets and seek spiritual guidance.

I was talking to an unhoused woman in my neighborhood, and she was really upset because there had been a “clear out” where she was staying. She was trying to take some classes and they threw away all of her books.

Let history remember that this loathsome monster was inciting Rabin’s murder back in the day for trying to make peace.
Nobody can say they didn’t know, didn’t see, couldn’t have imagined.
This was as inevitable as all the steps that preceded it when he’s left unchecked.
No conscience.

As an outsider who served as Bishop’s Clerk for Peter James Lee, I remember preparing to drive to Shrine Mont on my own for the first time. With a road atlas open in front of me, I asked my diocesan colleagues how I would know where to go when I got to Orkney Springs. And they laughed and laughed! ⚓️
