My darling Nicholas is spending a much needed weekend away, and I am once again hit with overwhelming gratitude for having married a man who believes that the home and the children are endeavors fully worthy of his investment of time and energy. And I'm immensely relieved when I occasionally observe trends on social media that my daughter and sons get to see that example.
Or to put it in less eloquent but more accurate terms, there isn't enough coffee or alcohol in the world to cope with solo p…
Always love having on the podcast; we talked about the state of the box office (it's looking up!) and why SINNERS is looking like it could (potentially!) get close to profitable on domestic box office alone and why that matters.

After adding the latest NYT/Siena poll to the Silver Bulletin average, Donald Trump is down to a -7.8 net approval rating. That's still better than his approval rating at this point during his first term (-9.2). But the gap is shrinking fast.

Who says newsprint is dead? I now get two newspapers. ’s County Highway publishes some of the best nonfiction anywhere today, while Dorothy Day’s long-running Catholic Worker keeps the Christian Anarchist spirit alive and is still only one cent.

This is one of my favourite photos of the Holy Father.
Back in 2008, five years before he became Pope, Cardinal Bergoglio (Pope Francis) was photographed riding the subway in Buenos Aires, which is something he was said to do frequently.
Among Francis' numerous admirable traits was the simplicity with which he lived his life and few photos…
I love this article. I have several virus deniers on my substack. While I do not agree with them, they are my valued readers with interesting thoughts on various matters. I do challenge them gently from time to time.
While I do think that virus denial is a mistaken belief, I am pretty certain that I unknowingly hold some other mistaken beliefs, so I just let them say whatever they want and I sometimes make comments to express why I do not agree with them.
Overall, the belief in virus denial is n…
Hi Igor. I too appreciate this article, while I might have decided for myself that Viruses do not exist, at least in a contagious manner, I am still open to this debate as I'm just a bloke that hits a keyboard for a living. I appreciate that your engagements with your readers that might not go along with the full germ theory are respectful. I too agree that, right now, the fighting mandates is the more important fight. But I also think that until contagion can be unequivocally proven and that A…
Yeah, we are people and we can agree to disagree. I was infected by a covid infected person, had covid, lost smell for a month, and had other covid symptoms such as diarrhea and lowered blood oxygen. It was not a cold and it was contagious.
Do you believe in viruses? I love you
You don't believe in viruses? I love you too
Igor - but you understand that Tom Cowan, for example, isn't saying that getting sick from contact with another sick person isn't a thing. He agrees it happens. I myself caught COVID at my first large gathering along with around 10-15% of those there, in 2020. I know *something* is contagious.
He says the disease is a process in the body to deal with a toxin/shock and that the fact this process is going on is transmitted to other people, who are warned - like everyone agrees that trees warn each…
The whole problem is this "by some unknown process." He is proposing an alternative model to explain what is occurring, but can't actually state what the model is. If you hold that logical standard, I could likewise argue every single thing that happens to you was a result of God's will, so there is no point in you trying to have any agency or autonomy because I believe each event being God's will is also a viable explanation...even though in virtually all cases I can't prove it beyond stating…
I don't get it. Just prove contagion and replication with a pure virus isolate. Isolated from anything else. Just prove it. It fine if you cant prove it, but then just admit that you can't
I can't "prove it" because an impossible and arbitrary standard has been put forward over what constitutes that standard. If you read the articles linked to by Kirsch by other authors you will see that: 1) Contagion and replication with a pure virus isolate has been repeatedly demonstrated. 2) The way " prove contagion and replication with a pure virus isolate" is being defined is completely different from what anyone else in the field utilizes. 3) The way " prove contagion and replication wit…
If you don't have a pure virus isolate (by the very simple definition), because its too hard to do. Then how can you be sure that it is not some of the other crap that is mixed in with the "virus" that is causing the cytopathogneic effect?
The ameoba example Kirsch used is a good example because you can see the viruses on a light microscope and they immediate start killing the ameobas and can be found replicating inside the ameobas.
