So Trump has now politicized:
-SCOTUS (not him specifically, that happened eons ago. But he put 3 on the bench to give him the judicial cover he needs);
-The military;
-The FBI;
-The DOJ.

Good thing the Democrats are sending strongly worded social posts.

Dutch late night TV has its take

How the principles of St. Augustine guide the Catholic Church

I got a voicemail from a CBC producer. He said that he came across my dissertation and wanted me to be a featured guest on CBC Ideas podcast bc they were doing a piece on Augustine. So I said yes and the rest is history.

Here it is for your hearing pleasure

Dave Portnoy tweet saying ‘absolutely disgusting and disturbing video from Charlie Kirk shooting today. Hoping for the best for him and his family. Anybody who is happy about this is a disgusting human.’

Pop Crave Tweet: ‘Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy says he hopes a missile hits Greta Thunberg’s boat as she sails away with aid: “I hope they hit a f*cking, like, a missile on her boat. Knock that boat down. Greta or whatever her name is”

This explains it better than I can

Does it seems a little odd that the party that violently attacked our capitol is suddenly outraged with political violence?

Israel has bombed Qatar in an attempt to murder Gaza negotiators gathered for ceasefire talks, just days after bombing Yemen to murder the Prime Minister and cabinet in Sanaa, all while conducting a genocide.

Obscene levels of violence. A terrorist regime in the fullest sense.

I don't know why but "Just for fun" by Beyoncé is hitting me hard rn.

The beauty of the arts is that the same song can hit you in different ways at different times. Cowboy Carter is one of those albums.

Don't even get me started on DAMN. by Kendrick Lamar.

Friend: Can I get sparkling water?
Waitress: We have Montellier.

Friend: It's Canadian.
Waitress: So that will be 2 Montelliers.

Me: Ice Tea. Wait. Is it American?
Waitress: Yes.
Me: Ok. I'll have ginger ale. Wait. Is it Canada Dry?
Waitress: No. It's Schweppes.

One bishop, in one church, literally just asked the president to be nice and him and everyone in his circle been melting down for a week.

These aren't strong people. They're very, very weak people. They can be beaten.

Yes it is!

Cousin: I don't want drama in my life.
Me: I love drama in my life! As long as it's on TV or in a movie theater. If it can't be subtitled, I don't want that kind of drama in my life.

I want to share this Christmas poem I wrote with yall

Title: Christmas in the Time of Genocide

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!!!

In spite of whatever evil this world can offer, this one Truth remains. Seeing the whole theatre stand during the Hallelujah chorus will never fail to remind me of the glory and grandeur of the God I serve.

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain.

Maranatha.

In light of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, hearing "Comfort ye, my people" hit different. "I know that my Redeemer liveth" moved me in a different way this year.

One of my personal Christmas tradition is going to see Handel's Messiah. This is an event that I look forward to every Christmas season.

It's that time of the year when you find out what made it to this year's Christmas wishlist!

@allylouks.bsky.social followed you here from Twitter! So sorry you have so many haters over on the old bird site!

Super excited I got to see The Kingdom Choir! Their message of love and joy is so needed in times like these! A reminder to practice gratitude in our every day lives. A reminder I definitely needed to hear!

Sorry MSNBC, but don’t be surprised by the mass exodus (38% decline) of your viewers since the election. I used to watch your network when you provided a progressive counterpoint to Fox. But when you minimized negative news coverage of Trump and amplified it for Harris, you lost me.
