JD, you absolute tourist, it's called the Nicene Creed because in Latin "credo" means "I believe." It's the first words of the prayer. This is like saying that when I talk to my brother about our father, I'm butchering the Our Father.

The work of @justinhicks.lpm.org to uncover this massive amounts of errors has spurred the Jefferson County Clerk’s office to conduct an audit of all 600,000 addresses in Louisville

Iran's seasoned diplomats entered last, refused handshakes, and skipped the photo-op at Bürgenstock, methodically humiliating a trust-fund podcaster playing statesman while the world watched America send its most decorative idiot to do a professional's job. www.rawstory.com/jd-vance-267...

After Japan battled the Netherlands to a 2-2 draw, the Japanese fans stayed behind and cleaned up every single piece of trash from their section at Dallas Stadium after the game. You LOVE to see it 🇯🇵 #WorldCup #Football #Soccer #RG3 #Love #sports #RGIII #RobertGriffinIII #Japan #Discipline

BREAKING: Donald Trump draws the biggest crowd in history for a president's name removal from a living memorial.

Imagine if Democrats could systematically restrict all men from the public sphere -- especially, with regard to participating meaningfully in our democracy and economy. On net, that would all but consolidate their control over elections. Now imagine Republicans doing the same thing, but for women.

Speaking in Madrid yesterday, Pope Leo XIV stated: "I encourage you to nurture the process of the European Union, which is not merely a counterweight to other powers, but a gift to humanity."

everyone, I have produced a report on how to remedy the decline of scholarship in the humanities and social sciences. here it is: Executive Summary: Fund the Humanities and Social Sciences. Body: Fund the Humanities and Social Sciences a hell of a lot more. Please cite this as the Carroll report.

We wanted to understand what’s happening with the Strait of Hormuz. So we talked to five raw milk drinkers at an emergency room in Idaho.

I am so ready for students to start claiming this.

ok i'm not done because i'm really fucking angry now. the entire premise of this report is a lie and we need more people at more prestigious places than me (at Virginia Tech) to fucking fight back. this is a bad faith attack on you - yes, you - who sit across from these assholes every meeting

Pope Leo will devote a part of his upcoming trip to Spain to a personal investigation into the crimes of the cult of Opus Dei, meeting with victims of the cult in Spain.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

As the U.S. marks its 250th anniversary, the nation's Catholic bishops have released a prayer service text commemorating its immigrants and refugees, as well as those trafficked under historic and modern forms of slavery in the U.S.

It’s early, but still safe to say that this is one of the most important articles about constitutional law that will be published this year, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up being the most, full stop. yalelawjournal.org/feature/the-...

Searches for Adam Hoffman are skyrocketing as reports go viral of Ken Paxton’s office offering the admitted child molester a one-day jail sentence after serially abusing a young boy.

@historians.org elections begin today and close July 15: please vote! I will be choosing my candidates from the slate provided by the Nominating Committee, and reading statements to ensure that the people I vote for uphold the priorities of the organization. secure.historians.org/members/serv...

I genuinely feel sick. A company reached out to me on IG, linking me to an AI version of myself. You can even ask "me" questions. They are also advertising it using an AI photo of me. They told me if I like it, they will give me free access... to my own fucking content that they stole. /1

Ugh somebody parked their geese in the fire lane.

This is what happens when queer people hate your party. There’s no one there to plan one.
