"Aw, who am I kidding. I wasn't punk before this anyhow," I whisper to myself as I trim my basil plants with cuticle scissors purchased expressly for this purpose.

it’s crazy that i was so used to popes being like 372-year-old tiny italian men who just wear the little hat and bless things. now the pope likes baseball and gives out advice like uncle jessie it’s so sick
Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

If the regime falls, rival intelligence agencies will be parachuting into Tehran in a cutthroat race to capture their social media guy—the Wernher von Braun of wartime posting.
And today’s popular music: “blockade” by Trump.

There should also be a MacArthur Dumbass Grant where they give you $800 to do something interesting but fundamentally very stupid.

Given the briefness of DC's false spring this year, it feels as though my mating call was declined as suspicious, possibly spam.

Just two dudes wearing armor made of raw uranium ore, forced to run into one another at full speed to see what would happen.
Archaeologists recently opened a 2600-year-old tomb and uncovered evidence that Iran’s Cyrus the Great was only weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon in 550 BC.

I’ve never read Little Women, watched Rashomon or seen Guys and Dolls BUT I have seen the Simpsons bits about all of them so I effectively have a deep scholarly understanding of all of them

my favorite linguistic quirk in any language has to be the m-reduplication in turkish, which consists of repeating a word with an m-prefix to mean "and other things like this". so e.g. "kitap" is book but "kitap mitap" is "books and some other book-like things"
