This is the last I’ll post about the DC shooting, but this now-deleted post from PETA is so comically self-aware in its lack of circumspection, it’s on the “Anne Frank would’ve been a Belieber” level of non-satirical satire.

Apparently today’s neighborhood shooting was over an HOA dispute…
For the feds on here, I promise I’m not a psycho and mean Diane from the HOA no harm! 😬
Y’all, I’m officially a real adult. I’m in a prolonged fight with the HOA board.
This is the kind of overdramatized excitement I live for. These gray-haired ladies have no idea what they’re in for.

“On the 11th of November /
An independent state.
This was much against the wishes /
Of certain governments /
Whose leaders tried to break us down /
And make us all repent.”
On this day in 1965, Rhodesia issued its Unilateral Declaration of Independence under Prime Minister Ian Smith and the Rhodesian Front government.

I want this signed in triplicate, sworn on the Gutenberg Bible, and repeated prostrate in the snow, day and night, à la King Henry IV. Then we might consider hearing you out…

I don’t give a sh*t. Iran had it coming. I did my part today and voted down-ballot red. All of you sick, lazy, butt-hurt Repubs who thought this was the issue you wanted to stake my country’s future on are to blame. Stabbed in the back by our own. You get what you deserve.
“Be detached from all sin, even venial.” How is that even possible, genuinely?
You scoff at too low a paycheck (greed). You look twice at a woman (lust). You put off laundry to doomscroll (sloth).
Is there a Romanist capable of not committing a venial sin this week?
Catholics, reminder:
You can free a soul from purgatory every day this week.
From Nov 1–8, the Church grants a plenary indulgence, applicable to the souls in purgatory, each day you:
1. Visit a cemetery and pray for the dead (even silently)
2. Go to confession (within about 20 days before or after)
3. Receive Holy Communion
4. Pray for the Pope's intentions (an Our Father and Hail Mary is enough)
5. Be detached from all sin, even venial
Today only (All Souls Day): you can also gain one by visiting a church and praying the Our Father and the Creed.
One confession covers the whole week. Communion and the prayer for the Pope are needed for each day's indulgence.
And if you're not fully detached from sin, you still gain a partial indulgence. So go anyway.
Repost this to spread the word. The souls in purgatory need our help.

For the “at least we aren’t speaking German” crowd, I already speak German. And you should learn it! Since most of us are braindead, Mark Twain aptly said of the language “[O]nly the dead have time to learn it.”

Sitting through voir dire in DC tells me I’d be so effed if I ever got charged with something.

There’s a gaggle of young Jewish people walking in to what I assume is a Friday night shabbos thing at the Quaker meetinghouse across the street.
Guess our Quaker friends desperately need that check.

Regarding our national anthem:
'Jerusalem' should be England's national anthem.
'I Vow to Thee my Country' should be the national anthem of the United Kingdom.
'God Save the King' should be the royal anthem.
CCC with HIRH Eduard von Habsburg @EduardHabsburg and Princess Maria-Anna Galitzine at the veneration mass for Blessed Emperor Karl I of Austria. My great-great grandfather, who served as a senior officer in the Imperial Army during WWI, would be proud. Lang lebe der Kaiser! 🇦🇹

A brief style primer for Presbyterians (or any Protestant for that matter)🧵👇🏻
I’ve met Jean-Christophe Prince Napoléon, heir to the Bonapartist claim, quite a few times. We actually worked at the same investment bank. He now runs a private equity firm, which sounds far more lucrative than Emperor of a failed state. Let’s just leave it to the Bourbons.
