"Se conoce que el género va degenerando poco a poco a lo largo de los siglos: la Misa de Réquiem del canto gregoriano; la Misa de Difuntos de Cristóbal de Morales; la Misa en si menor de Bach; la Missa Solemnis de Beethoven(...); la Misa de Bernstein; y luego Lux de Rosalía." 😂😂😂

NPR's data analysis shows that the DOJ has tended to fire judges with immigrant defense backgrounds in its recent rounds of dismissals. n.pr/47uKYeQ

Sleeping Shepherd, by Titian, 1500–10

My son's been closing his eyes. We can't breathe...

Man I cant imagine being a Dodgers or Blue Jays fans right now. They aren't my teams and I'm Hella stressed!

Pope Leo in Dilexi te: “The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty.” (Full Text). www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Pope Leo in Dilexi te: Christians who “dismiss or ridicule charitable works, as if they were an obsession on the part of a few and not the burning heart of the Church’s mission, convinces me of the need to go back and re-read the Gospel, lest we risk replacing it with the wisdom of this world.”

From @theathletic.com: The Blue Jays eliminated the Yankees in the MLB playoffs, in Toronto’s first postseason series win since 2016.

Pope Leo in message for 40th World Youth Day: “True witnesses are humble and inwardly free, above all from themselves, that is, from the pretense of being the center of attention.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

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.

"Saying I am pro-life, but I don't want to give citizenship to the children of migrants,” said Washington Auxiliary Bishop Evelio Menjivar-Ayala. "I mean, what kind of pro-life is that?" www.ncronline.org/vatican/vati...

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

"Christians are not those who go backward." #PopeFrancis #Hope

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Night of the Living Dead (1968) dir. George A. Romero 🎬 Our retrospective review of this seminal #horror movie includes a link to watch the full movie for free, for those yet uninitiated. This is cult zombie film at its allegorical best! #filmsky #moviesky #cinema moremovies.co.uk/night-of-the...

"Lord Jesus, you, who in diversity are one and look lovingly at every person, help us to recognize ourselves as brothers and sisters, called to live, pray, work, and dream together." #PopeLeoXIV #PrayTogether www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

Publicity I actually enjoy.

Firmly now in the age of demonising people who just want to get by and make a life for their families, on the grounds that they were born in the wrong place with the wrong paperwork.

Watching the wonderful live stream of Tosca. Was that a line about freedom being born on the ashes of tyrants?

"We cannot ignore our neighbors being hauled off by masked, unidentified agents, without warrant, due process or knowing where they are being sent or for how long." #PrayForAmerica www.ncronline.org/opinion/edit...

@hofferdal.bsky.social hello hello! Qué alegría encontrarte por aquí!

New paper accepted!🎉 Is Taylor Swift responsible for how she makes her fans feel? Yes; the notion of affective power (the ability to influence how others feel) can help identify the responsibilities celebrities have towards their fans. w/ G.Mills & @alfredarcher.bsky.social Preprint ⬇️

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

"Guided by the principle of the common good, we must reject leaders who equate critique with disloyalty and who celebrate the silencing of dissent...The Gospel calls us not to fear free expression but to shape it toward love and truth." www.ncronline.org/opinion/gues...

"To sin is to refuse to love one's neighbors and, therefore, the Lord himself. Sin, a breach of the friendship with and others, is according to the Bible the ultimate cause of poverty, injustice, and the oppression in which people live." #GustavoGutierrez #LoveEachOther #RememberThePoor

"The goal is not only better living conditions, a radical change of structures, a social revolution; it is much more: the continuous creation, never ending, of a new way to be human, a permanent cultural revolution." #GustavoGutierrez #LiveTheGospel #ShareGodsLove #RememberThePoor
