The app for independent voices

I feel like I should be doing something today to try and secure parishes for displays. However my options are pretty much limited. It is just a matter of waiting for the email/phone call that will never happen. Ironic since today is the kind of day where I could use such things to help improve my current mood.

I hate to be That Guy but shouldn’t it read “Go Directly Out of Business”

Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200, Do Go Out of Business

Christ has prepared a small splinter of His cross to share with me.

It’s so small that it’s a bit laughable.

Indeed, if it’s not sacrilegious to say, one might be tempted to call my little portion of the Cross “cute”.

I’m reminded of when a small child wants to imitate their parents, and so the parents buy them a child version of some too…

‘Vatican II was used as a departure, not a foundation’

Logged out Twitter for the last time today, it definitely feels good. I don’t think I’m really going to use these notes unless there’s a good reason, because the dopamine treadmill is a huge part of why I left. If I’m gonna get likes and restacks at least let me earn it with longform content.

When people show you who they are, believe them. Hamas and Iran have been quite clear - Hamas in their charter, and Iran on X and everywhere else - that they want all Jews dead. Why does the world pretend they don’t know and don’t see this? Screw the BBC, screw apologists in the Squad and on CNN. (Also MSNBC)

This was a tactical success but a strategic blunder by Hamas. The Western left has restrained Israel in its dealings with Hamas for over a decade now. That is now gone. It’s going to really difficult to try and rein in an Israeli response to an assault that really looks no different than what we saw from groups like ISIS.

100% Although the media will try it on. I think the leadership in general will have to both support Israel and step back as she defends herself.

If anything good can come of this tragedy, it'll be that Gaza is destroyed and incorporated back into Israel.
