The leopard that eats faces cannot change change its spots

If I request a transfer, it will be so I'm at a parish where they don't know I forgot baby Jesus halfway through the entrance procession

Another problem with parish registration: I wrote/called two Houston parishes asking for permission to marry Catholics who live there/go to mass there. "but they aren't registered!"

we can never forgive Zazu for slow-walking the prosecution against Scar

Dudes Rock

ICE officers actually exist in a quantum state, so recording them changes the outcome

Pretty good Spanish rice for me bout knowing I was making it until I showed up, and having nothing but powdered spices

Dad told me I could bring cowboy caviar to Christmas, as long as I didn't make too much. Well...

In case you're unclear on what JD Vance is trying to do here maybe it will help to recall Italian writer Ignazio Silone's 1938 description of what fascism is: “Fascism is a counter-revolution against a revolution that never took place.”

The Sinkable

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.

Maybe it was bad that my generation was raised on comedy that pushed racism as unironically funny. South Park did have some irony, like with the black character being named "Token," but the most frequent jokes were just Cartman yelling slurs

"average person knows 3 sex offenders" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person knows 0 sex offenders. Journalism Georg, who lives in cave & is pals with 10,000 sex offenders and enjoys their dinner parties and their funny anecdotes, is an outlier adn should not have been counted"

Hello

I'm mesmerized why Metroid never seems to do well in Japan. All the elements seem to do OK in other franchises in Japan: Sci fi, sentai, action adventure platformers, horror. But it's always been a distant third to Mario and Zelda @akumajoukamachi.bsky.social @rattatatouille.bsky.social

I think that's the highest I've gone in balatro. I could have done better in the end if I picked up more cards. I also forgot to shuffle my jokers to get more value from my hallucination in the shop.

Knowing too much about or caring excessively about your family lineage is fascist to me.

How could Pope Francis have objected to this

www.pillarcatholic.com/p/charlotte-... It's not about the liturgy

It really is amazing how he manages to keep up with Trump in the competition for worst person in American history

This sort of grift frustrates me more than anything. A couple of these came to the office for blessing. Filled with beeswax candles, scapulars, incense, anointing oil, and these bizarre invalid hosts. I did the "blessing of all things" on it, as I typically do when asked to bless such things

Epstein Americans, the most persecuted demographic in our society today

I don't understand how the bishop of Charlotte has no more pressing matters to attend to than norms for the reception of Holy Communion

Problematic trinitarian theology

I'm in this tweet and I don't like it

My brother the doctor insufficiently plays Castlevania. He told me about a case of vitreous hemorrhage (bloody tears) and I said "what a horrible night to have a curse" and he just said yeah

Leftover pizza from a Christmas party means French toast pizza

Time for the final boss of temu metroid prime I did one attempt on the boss, but I didn't realize if you don't babysit the FIVE ADDS THEY GIVE YOU, it's a game over. Exactly what metroid needed, squad based combat with no way to control the squad npcs.

someone has to do it and i salute this guy for his work. but when i see this face on my timeline i know i'm about to be pissed off and /or take psychic damage

Isolationism is when you threaten to go to war with Venezuela

They had to ruin American Gothic too

Imagine finding out you're the consolation prize for not landing Elon. I would drink battery acid

Tis the season for me to tell people that this is by Everett Patterson, a Portland, OR artist and excellent guy www.everettpatterson.com?p=1835

in 20 years some of your cultural traditions will simply be mainstream in america: you can get día de los muertos decorations at party stores. the hipsters are drinking matcha lattes. naan is in every supermarket. everyone says “inshallah” now

Christmas card as political ad feels really gross. I got a negative campaign ad by this guy yesterday about how his opposition is the 7th most liberal arepublican in Texas, based on how often often Republicans voted in line with Democrats. I should have saved that ad, it was insane

Momma I made it

I hate when God's Meatloaf Special is out of stock

Every human heart should be shattered--once each time--by any act of violence committed against another flesh and blood human being.

There should be a Bluesky setting that just lets you mute Whatever Article Made Everyone Mad Today.

The only semblance of virtue I can see in Trump is glory. But it is VAINglory, and therefore utterly vicious. He is not willing to do great things to achieve glory (which is what makes glory in any sense virtuous). He will do anything to be honored, except sacrifice anything of himself.

It's funny how I'm in an area really opposed to DEI, and yet if I hire a male teacher at my school, everyone will be really hype about it. Precisely because the faculty is nigh exclusively female. It's the exact same principle.
