New Warners probably gonna just pick this up as the sequel.

Good take. Don’t be a doomer but do be clear-eyed about these guys.

Would that it were true but Cuomo and his brother are both fully committed to reactionary grifting.

Here's 15 minutes of an extraordinary new opera-in-progress based on (my version of) the Odyssey, composed by Tom Smail, libretto by Isabella Bywater - performed and discussed (with Alicia Stallings) at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens. www.ascsa.edu.gr/events/detai...

So this kid gets to tweet away without sanction while a faculty member is hounded out of directing an institute.

I hope you all see what's happening: The cops and a bunch of bad-faith "influencers" are manufacturing a crisis over a snowball because they have nothing to hold over the mayor while crime in NYC continues its years-long decline. Watch carefully who plays along with this charade.

Hallow sponsoring Tucker tells you all you need to know.

Again I ask if any of these people cared about this institute before a professor they clearly had it in for was appointed to run it?

What do these people think of “Gee, Officer Krupke”? Also even many working-class conservatives who are pro-law-and-order rather more jaundiced about cops as a class.

you can imagine any number of unusual or bizarre ways eric adams would have responded to this that treated his inability to lead as a wacky quirk instead of a serious problem

The phrasing in this is quite remarkable given history of Popes going hard on left and soft on right. Francis turning tables on this one of the reasons they hated him so much.

They care about visiting the picturesque ones which is one of the reasons the admin backed off on Greenland. You think Trump approval is in the tank now, imagine an EU travel ban.

Threads would give you PG-13 version.

Bluesky will never produce a post like this.

Threads got these takes in the national divorce.

This is fine and normal for a college club.

I think this kid needs to have the keys to their Twitter taken away but Hale’s framing is (as usual) unhelpful because this is a group that by nature exists in a tension with Catholic teaching despite being at a Catholic university.

The joke here (and actually the reason they went after it) is that the book was basically a textbook fairly presenting a variety of views on some issues which don’t have definitive doctrinal answers.

At some point they need to realize the harm being done by this outweighs the risk of the kid becoming a Fox News insta-celebrity.

This is the kind of integralism I can get behind.

This is how graduate stipends used to work in certain divisions of the University of Chicago.

Reading a lot of Sinclair Lewis in my spare time during grad school has greatly helped my understanding of what’s going on in the U.S.

I don’t think the student clubs people would have tolerated this when I was an undergrad.

My short commentary on @wshu.org considers the supposed resurgence of religion: www.wshu.org/news/2026-02...

The interesting thing about Dolan interview is his working assumption that he’s buddies with Trump/Vanxe but occasionally has to call them out. Contrast with Cupich/Tobin.

The other element of this is if you don’t sign up early and intensely, it’s harder to engage later. Harder to casually sample a few things you might quite and maybe pursue recreationally later.

the current U.S. president has a head full of mashed potatoes, operates at a third-grade reading level, and genuinely has no idea how anything works, but you'll notice that's not a consistent narrative in NYT reporting AOC says "um" and it's an entire fucking newscycle the intent ain't subtle

They kind of hit on this one which makes clear some kind of minimal textualist approach to VII not gonna cut it. Many documents such as Nostra Aetate which had to be deliberately minimalist have been expanded upon significantly.

Particularly notable given decision not to visit U.S. and occasion of 250th.

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting. In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

I think Duffy is correct that their views on this are quite similar particularly compared to de Lubac.

“This too is a day for those who are made to feel like dust, dust that can be swept away or treated as if they do not belong. It is a day for those who work with the dust of the earth in construction, in cleaning, in harvesting the crops of the fields, all to support their families.” - Cupich

This is where bishops belong in this moment and why the Dolans of the world are so disgraceful.

Aren’t you forgetting somebody?

Leo brought it with this one.

and i think the example of washington — whose peer, in this regard, is frederick douglass — is a reminder that artifice and performance are important parts of democratic society, and that the contempt for virtue signaling is corrosive. virtue is meant to be signaled!

Jacques Maritain:

This is particularly true of religious right where “moderate” elements very motivated by things like Dept of Education Dear Colleague letters they viewed as existential threat to conservative colleges.
