Pin your ear to the wisdom post
Pin your eye to the line
Never let the weeds get higher
Than the garden
Always keep a sapphire in your mind
Always keep a diamond in your mind
Got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow

Was at a Christmas party with a load of clergy last night and as some people were leaving they found a person collapsed on the street outside so the Verger took over and called an ambulance and sent all the clergy away because "if they wake up surrounded by priests that'll just make things worse"

The internet is full of smart people writing beautiful prose about how bad everything is, how it all sucks, how it’s embarrassing to like anything, how anything that appears good is, in fact, secretly bad. I find this confusing and tragic

T-shirts calling him “Da Pope” are already for sale. Portillo’s introduced an Italian beef sandwich called “The Leo” to its menu, and the Wieners Circle debuted a new sign — one that requires a working knowledge of Latin to understand.

John Hemingway was a fighter pilot in a vastly outnumbered Royal Air Force, one of the “few” hailed by Churchill that saved Britain in the early stages of World War II, and was an Allied flight controller during the D-Day invasion of Normandy in 1944. He died at 105 on Monday. nyti.ms/3RnD51z

ANY GIVEN CASTING DIRECTOR: So the character’s a creepy little freak, who do we got
Miles away, Walton Goggins tilts his head like a dog hearing a frequency no one else can hear. He sniffs the air. A slow, genuine, but terrifying, smile fills his face.
