It's time for more Technocracy!
From FIRE we move to AIR: it's Saera's turn to connect with her element. The process is slow, and Saera must confront fears buried deep in her heart. But, slowly and surely, she begins to achieve... liftoff!

So, hey, funny story. The guy in this video getting his ass kicked?
That's me.😬
I had a bit of an adventure this evening trying to protect a bar I love, one that ended with me in the hospital. But I am quite alive, if a bit worse for wear.

Reminder that this asshole deliberately slandered the Bishop of Jerusalem in "Kingdom of Heaven" by portraying him as a coward & a liar during Saladin's siege. In real life, the bishop was instrumental in the negotiations that ended the siege & allowed everyone to leave safely.

Joseph Stalin once wrly remarked: "The Pope? How many divisions has he got?"
Then a few decades later, Pope Saint John Paul II went to Soviet Poland & showed how many.
It is tempting to be fearful of the future. But perhaps we should hope, instead.

It's possible that one reason Musk is always with Trump now is because Musk brings his own private security with him, and Trump has decided that Musk's security is a better guarantee of his safety than the Secret Service, at least while Biden is still in power.

I honestly don't think it's fair to call Death Of Stalin a "satire." To me the comedy comes less from poking fun at its characters and more the frantic, nervous energy they constantly exhibit as they fear death at every turn.

My intention was humility. In a Christian world there is a recognition that no earthly ruler, no mortal master, & no evil spirit can in any way proclaim himself above Jesus Christ. I consider it not pedantry but scrupulousness. I think God loves the precise.

It's not in the headline, but that report on clergy sexual abuse in Illinois actually contains good news.
Of the priests accused of abuse, only two were ordained after 2000. And the cases of abuse shrink dramatically after 2000, too.

Literally nothing is going to be accomplished by "dialogue" with the pro-choice side. They are all like this. It's a waste of time. Just stamp abortion out. Ban it. Criminalize it. And if the pro-choicers get in your way, deal with them accordingly.

Gene Wolfe died three years ago this year.
He died on April 15th, the same day Notre Dame burned. His death was completely eclipsed by the burning of the cathedral. Seems kind of fitting. Wolfe was always overlooked. Never as famous as many of his peers.
But I loved him.

People have said that because the Catholic Church is currently mired in sin & scandal, it has no business trying to enforce its teachings on others. But this is not the case. Even in the midst of crisis & corruption, the Church must assert what is True.

In 1219 AD, during the Fifth Crusade, St. Francis of Assisi crossed the lines of the battlefield in Egypt, & stealthily entered the camp of the Egyptian Sultan al-Malek al-Kamil.
St. Francis was eventually taken before the Sultan, where he preached the Gospel to him for 25 days.

There's an argument to be made that the United States' soft power, its "empire of persuasion" has benefited the average American very little. Perhaps one can't blame American right-wingers for yearning for an empire of hard power, instead, like Rome/Spain/Britain.
