I owe you an apology. I wasn't really familiar with your theological game.

I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables and bought pedal steel guitars.

Stylized artwork of the Virgin Mary in blue and white, crowned and cloaked in stars, standing atop a red serpent labeled โ€œICE.โ€ Red rays of light pierce the serpent from her outstretched hands. Surrounding text reads: โ€œHAIL MARY Full of Graceโ€ on the left, and โ€œKICK I.C.E out of This Placeโ€ on the right. The image blends Catholic iconography with a political message rejecting violent anti-immigrant policing and detention.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Her early readers are entertaining and so drily funny, which is really a marvel for that genre.

i don't think of them as indie. they're not aesthetically indie even if they are technically indie. just what the world needs -- a music taxonomy debate!

Ratboys, Plural | Notre Dame Magazine | University of Notre Dame The evolving indie band that began at Notre Dame keeps its โ€˜variety showโ€™ on the road.

It was a real treat to write about the best indie band Notre Dame has produced since Ted Leo graduated in 1993. Listen to @ratboysband.bsky.social! magazine.nd.edu/stories/ratb...

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

โ€œIt was heartbreaking to watch,โ€ said Watson. โ€œEven if youโ€™re not a mother, seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.โ€

What Mississippi's infant mortality crisis says about the risks of Medicaid cuts Mississippi recently declared a public health emergency because its infant mortality rate has surged. And with Medicaid cuts coming, experts fear the crisis may worsen in other states.

Tomorrow's releases include the new Jeff Tweedy triple album, the first Neko Case album in 7 years, and an insanely buzzy PTA movie. Public Service Announcement: If you need to reach any dads Friday, they will not be available.

i'm tired of people telling me that the houston texans aren't real. obviously they are not real in the literal sense. i don't think anyone is saying they are. but they impart lessons that have a lot of truth to them. god never intended them to be taken at face value

I Am An AI Hater I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.
