I'm never a fan of psalm responses in the voice of God, but this one in particular seems ill-advised.

fwiw the disgraced Bishop Strickland was probably one of them. He tried to prevent the assembly from considering the message altogether by bringing up a somewhat boutique concern.

The main thing I’ll say for it is I played half the game as Carmen Sandiego

you ever see a Pokémon that would definitely be called an abomination if Leviticus knew about it

Happy All Souls!

The Lectionary offers a ridiculous buffet of proper readings for this day, no idea why, but one option includes my favorite verse so that's great!

I still think it's funny the Paddington musical hid the bear costume until first preview night, but they nailed it.

What a very fun puzzle book. I solved the mystery, but only after writing down a timeline and a few notes and agonizing over random clues that turned out to be either meaningless or red herrings. Great illustrations.

not enough takers this Halloween for my dream 20-member VILE agents from Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego group costume. Maybe next year!

Anyway I liked it

I read Miss Ruki throughout the day. What a treat to look at, and the translator's essay does a great job contextualizing it to the changing women's cultures of the 1980s and 90s.

People are calling it the most ambitious crossover event in history.

I would pay $5 a month for a comic starring Godiva, the British aristocrat who wields her hair like a Green Lantern ring.

For this October's Witch-Watch, I tried the 2004 Japanese remake of Bewitched. It's cute, and interesting to see the sitcom reworked as more of a romcom drama. The Samantha character lacks Elizabeth Montgomery's moxie, but the other characters match their American analogues pretty closely.

Given today's gospel, thinking about this again.

I never got one these “wrong number for a rich person” pig butchering texts before! What a thrill.

Today's Office has Vincent of Lérins offering a clear, vigorous endorsement of development of doctrine from the 5th century

"Celebrity's death creates more content" is such a 2025 headline

What a delightful movie. Weirder and darker than I expected, with these lovely moments of grace and compassion throughout.

biblical citations are like when a high school forensicator has forgotten their source mid-speech

so Homesick just makes up its scent notes right?
