I would love it if it was Battra, but I am all in on the memes for Ebirah. Give that shrimp another chance, he deserves it by now.
Welp, looks like we're getting another sequel. Toho would be braindead not to greenlight another. Hedorah or Biollante as the next big bad? Battra? Megalon? 🤔
Good grief that parish is absolutely crooked. Gonna be a miracle if those parishioners end up repenting of their innumerable heresies.
Well, this confirms (yet again) that Bishop Lucia did the right thing. ⤵️ Upon being told, earlier today, that the Bishop himself will help with Masses at All Saints after Fr. Daley’s removal, the congregation immediately shouts “No!! No!! No!!”. (And they know full well this is livestreamed publicly.)
Fr. Daley has spent 18 years turning that parish into a brood of rebels who openly despise and reject not only the Word of God and the Magisterium, but also their own Bishop (a man, I add, who has been remarkably gracious to them). Thanks be to God, Fr. Daley’s reign is about to end. Pray that a miracle occurs and the flock he has led into the very depths of heresy will somehow see the light of Truth.
Today as always, Fr. Fred Daley began Mass by bowing to the congregation (his explicit prompt to the congregation to use the Hindu prayer, “Namaste.”)
Then he does the “land acknowledgment.”
Then he has the congregation rejoice and applaud because of the “blue wave” of radical pro-abortion democrats sweeping the last election, and how those elected come from “every orientation.”
Throughout the Mass he, as always, totally changed many of the prayers (including the consecration).
And after Mass he promotes Nico Lang and his book “American Teenager: How Trans Kids Are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy in a Turbulent Era,” which pushes body-mutilating transgenderism on children. See the end of video below for what Lang himself promotes⬇️
Pray for all involved. Especially for the conversion and repentance of Fr. Daley and that congregation. But also for Bishop Lucia, who will be persecuted for doing the right thing here by removing Fr. Daley.

A statistic that sounds fake but isn't: Not one single white American man born after 1984 has published a work of literary fiction in The New Yorker.
It's not because they stopped writing. It's because The New Yorker has refused to publish them. The publishing industry has blacked out a generation of male writers & then they wonder why boys don't read.
About 70% of publishing professionals are women.
Because agents and editors tend to select books they personally relate to, an increasing number of male authors are being sidelined in the publishing industry, resulting in an overwhelming number of female protagonists on our shelves—and a dearth of male ones.
No wonder young men are no longer reading.

Wow, no one could have possibly predicted this.
The story keeps getting crazier. To recap everything that has been reported so far:
- The US intelligence community discovered that Jensen Huang, the CEO of the largest company in the world, was sleeping with Alice Huang, a Chinese spy and an executive at Megaspeed. (FT)
- Multiple independent investigations have concluded that Megaspeed is likely a Chinese cutout, which helps Chinese companies access AI chips or circumvent export controls. (NYT and Bloomberg)
- The US intelligence community also concluded that Alice Huang’s goal was to convince Jensen to lobby the U.S. government to loosen export controls on advanced AI chips. (NYT)
- The intelligence community relayed this information to “a small group of top US government officials” earlier this year. (FT)
- Over the last year, Jensen Huang has repeatedly lobbied the U.S. government to loosen export controls on advanced chips. @BISgov has done so, not only by permitting the export of H200 chips to China, but also not enforcing export controls that would have required a license for exports of the most advanced Blackwell chips to Megaspeed and Southeast Asia.
- Although @CommerceGov leadership was presumably briefed on this information by the U.S. intelligence community, @BISgov has taken no actions to tighten controls on Megaspeed or Southeast Asia.
- Megaspeed remains a preferred cloud partner of Nvidia, and continues to receive Nvidia Blackwell chips despite employing a Chinese spy who reportedly is romantically engaged with the CEO of Nvidia.
- Tens of billions of dollars worth of AI chips have been exported to Southeast Asia this year alone, and Malaysia and Singapore are now two of the four largest importers of AI chips in the world.
What is going on here??? We need answers. The question of who gets the most advanced AI chips in the world is literally the defining strategic question of our time. And not only does it seem like the MSS may be directly influencing the debate on export controls in the United States, but also @CommerceGov is refusing to listen to the warnings of the IC on this issue. What is a POSSIBLE good explanation for why Megaspeed is still receiving chips? Why is there not a license requirement for AI chip shipments to all of Southeast Asia? This is beyond strange at this point.
The fallout from this story will be massive. Obviously, the motivations underpinning Nvidia’s policy views opposing export controls must now all be questioned. But also, how did @BISgov sit on this information and has still taken no actions? We need answers.

Your entire job can disappear because you dont support killing children.
The entire west is a lunatic asylum
Barely five minutes of actual fighting in the entire film. Complete disappointment.
Q: For those who have seen it, how did you think the fight between Godzilla and King Ghidorah in #GodzillaMinusZero and where would you rank it in your Top 5 “G Vs. KG” fights?
Was there an animation error in Godzilla Minus Zero, right after Godzilla throws the other monster? He just sort of freezes in place, while the other monster gets up quickly and moves around. Immediately took me out of it, immersion wise. Can't be the only one who noticed this.

The more I think about the history of post-Revolutionary France and the eventual election of Louis Philippe as monarch (despite how that ended), the more optimistic I get for our own situation. We don't have to settle for stagnation, and kings can always be made.
Hilariously, my parents didn't let me watch this growing up because they thought it modeled bad school behavior. 😆
Recess, a Disney Channel show which has been on the air since 1997, ends.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Recess aired on ABC, not Disney Channel. It did not debut on Disney Channel until 2003, which is the future, as far as this account is concerned.

You see, we're all 'dissenters' at some point.
Even Death Penalty opponents dissent from Francis' magisterium when they support life-in-prison
Everyone dissents, it just matters who lines up with immemorial tradition. DP proponents do. DP opponents do not.
Can't help but think that Fr. Seraphim Rose was right, once again. The Religion of the Future (syncretic indifferentism with New Age influences) continues to rear its proverbial head.
The Vatican will undoubtedly push this suspect canonization through, just like all the other ones they need to prop up their liturgical/theological/ecclesiological direction, Pope Paul VI being foremost in that list.

Catholics pride themselves on the objective truth of their religion and many commit themselves to the Faith because they believe it is the original Church with 2000 years of consistent teaching.
So then, when you say that “Hey wait what the Church teaches now doesn’t really line up with what it taught before, what’s up with that?” they FREAK out.
