This account stans space, science, Scalia, and Taylor Swift. (And rugby, writing, and other cool things. You’ll catch on.) Of no tribe/clique: Not voting for your candidate, don’t care about your issue. My sole obligation is to speak truth as I—to the best of my ability—see it.
Hear me, @miku_bandmaid . Throughout the world, there’s countless people whose hearts are reaching out today; people thinking about and praying for Kumamoto, who know of and care about Kumamoto because of *you*. Whatever those prayers and thoughts are worth are you your credit.
We’re an inch away from ridding ourselves of changing the clocks and some idiots want to ruin it by whinging about which seat gets occupied when the music stops.
The Martian’s OST is perfect. Project Hail Mary’s is horrible. I thought it in the theater and I still think it now it’s on streaming, even with the reassurance that it won’t actually break into We Are the fucking World. It’s the movie’s one failing.
This needs nipped in the bud. Talarico should sue them into the ground. Don’t complain, don’t protest, litigate. cnn.com/2026/03/13/politics/…
We used to have “chickenhawks”; people who are hawkish unless there was any consequences, especially to themselves. Now we have “war bros”; men—and it is almost entirely men—who are against “war”but for “strikes” so long as the strike has a bombastic, testosterish codename.

The "warmth of collectivism" is to freeze while those with heated dachas tell you how noble your sacrifice is.

There was a line from Zohran Mamdani’s inaugural address yesterday that took my breath away. He said he intended to replace “the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” Collectivism in its various forms is responsible for the deaths of at least one hundred million people in the last century. Socialist and Communist forms of government around the world today—Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, etc.—are disastrous. Catholic social teaching has consistently condemned socialism and has embraced the market economy, which people like Mayor Mamdani caricature as “rugged individualism.” In fact, it is the economic system that is based upon the rights, freedom, and dignity of the human person. For God’s sake, spare me the “warmth of collectivism.”
A demilitarized zone makes sense, assuming that the DMZ also extends across the border into Russia and its Belarussian puppet.

In the first round of ballots, the candidate who actually led was Cardinal Péter Erdő of Hungary — the great hope of the conservative bloc.
Yes, the conservatives mustered enough votes on the initial ballot to put Erdő on top, with somewhere in the 20s out of 133 votes.
This is how Leo came back to be elected the 266th successor of St. Peter. open.substack.com/pub/letter…
Justice Gorsuch’s dissent is crazytown. If “[i]n the present posture of this case … caution seems to me [to be] key,” then restraining the Presient’s startling, novel, farcical, and dangerous overreach pending full determination on the merits is exactly the cautious move.

China’s state-run television repeatedly aired criticism of Takaichi by Japanese politicians, journalists, academics, and activists.
However, after watching the broadcast, many Chinese viewers reacted by saying:
“In Japan, so many people can openly criticize the country’s top leaders right in front of TV cameras…
A free democratic country like that is truly enviable.”
Online reactions followed, saying:
“This completely backfired. LOL.”
