I never heard anything about this sphere before or during its construction. One day it was just there and everyone was like “The Sphere™️ is complete!” I won’t be shocked if the city of Las Vegas mysteriously disappears that’s all I’m saying
As much as twitter pisses me off these days there’s simply no other platform where you can go to find out that the Borgia family still exists and they’re the fried chicken kings of Dublin
Seeing a lot of people not understanding why the elite American special forces in the original Predator are easily picked off one by one. It’s because the movie is about Vietnam. This is also true of Aliens.
This guy made 10,000 “Life in the 1940s!” videos that everybody hated then by pure chance he finally landed on one that was good and now he’s gonna make worse versions of it forever. That’s life online for you.
“Well-funded well-equipped Americans go in to an environment they don’t know to fight an enemy they don’t know with the brash & arrogant expectation of victory and discover too late they bit off more than they could chew” what could have inspired this
*American special forces, having become intensely frustrated at being unable to see or fight their enemy, unload automatic gunfire blindly in to the jungle*
I can’t imagine this is referencing anything.
There’s 14,000 accounts on here that are like “I have a Divinity degree from an Ivy League program and I’m a Christian Pastor but I’m like a cool Pastor, I reject every imaginable tenet of the Christian faith” it’s a endless supply how are there so many
The City of Pittsburgh is partnering with the
@USDA
to host a Deer Management Pilot Program with archery-controlled hunts in Frick and Riverview Parks during the 2023-2024 deer archery season.
You have to ask why no cops died. It’s not a pleasant question to ask, maybe it’s not an entirely fair question to ask. But if you were standing between him and those children, why are you here now? Why didn’t he have to step over your dead body?
It’s wild that Pete Buttigieg was the mayor of South Bend Indiana with no viable path to statewide office so he just ran for President and flipped to being Secretary of Transportation and a front runner to be the next Democratic Presidential nominee. You can’t knock the hustle.
He’s Tommaso d’Aquino not Thomas Aquinas
He’s Bonaventura da Bagnoregio not Bonaventure
He’s Egidio Colonna not Giles of Rome
Stop Anglicizing the names of Italian scholars to conceal the fact that they were Italian
You don’t see us calling John Locke Giovanni Lockanzo
He’s Ibn Sīna not Avicenna
He’s Ibn Rushd not Averroes
He’s Jābir ibn Hayyān not Geber
Stop Latinizing the names of Muslim scholars to conceal the fact that they were Muslims
You don’t see us calling Shakespeare “Sheikh Zubayr”
Actually Jesus the Christ has conquered all the powers of hell and delivered mankind from sin and death through His passion and resurrection. Hope this helps.
Today from Witchtok:
A demon named Ambrose has been wreaking havoc across all of North America, including taking over covens and causing chaos, and tonight there will be a showdown with 24 deities to put him in Tartarus!
When you have a cat, which is a type of little guy that hangs out with you, sometimes he will reach his chin out and rest it on your arm, or come in from another room to sit down next to you. This is a premium experience.
I came very close to taking my own life this summer. That feeling is returning. Please pray for me.
I wouldn’t normally expose anything this personal on the TL but I need to tell someone and I don’t want to tell my wife or family because of the effect it has on them.
This crab cannot conquer fire. He cannot split the atom. He cannot walk on the surface of moon, or send his technological marvels in to the deep abysses of space. Nevertheless he knows no sin, and he gives daily praise to the LORD by his simple tasks.
I would actually love to read a long form article on how movie writers lost the ability to do quips well. Why can’t they write a little joke or ironic remark without it coming off as painfully formulaic and drawing attention to itself anymore
Catholic masculinity is marrying a pregnant girl, suffering the mockery of the world, raising a child that isn’t yours, fleeing to the land where your forefathers were enslaved, receding in to silence. Letting the only word the world ever knows you spoke be the name of Jesus.
@agostino_harry
They got sued by a group of publishers, mostly driven by YA authors as I understand it, who argued that their lending model violates copyright
I hate the idea of public education as being principally about “career training” so much. It’s so anti-human. A decent humanistic education for everyone was a political victory that was won at great cost and is now in danger of being sacrificed on the altar of technocracy.
My most medieval peasant coded trait is that I 100% believe in witches. You cannot convince me this was done by “sleight of hand”. This man is a sorcerer who has cavorted with devils to receive knowledge of unnatural and unholy arts
If a grown man approached me & my family after mass and told me that he had been praying for a wife and God had shown him my sixteen year old daughter the events which would transpire from there would see me tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity
Imagine if you were not extremely online and you took your like 7 year old daughter to Barbie on opening day and there were a bunch of men in their thirties there alone
Excuse me Mr. Jesus of Nazareth SIR when you said that you are the way the truth and the life and none come to the Father except through you you failed to respect the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
This is one of the most bigoted tweets I have ever seen.
Delete it, Lizzie.
Religious freedom in the United States applies to every religion.
You have gone too far.
I like this painting a lot because you don't normally think of Jesus as a big hat guy.
I like to think that at some point during the resurrection the apostles asked Our Lord "so where did you get the hat?" and He was just like "Hey man, don't worry about it."
Today’s Gospel reveals Mary Magdalene’s encounter with the risen Jesus.
What if death and dissolution did not have the final say? What if, through God’s power, and according to his providence, a “new heavens and a new earth” were being born?
People going to confession in movies and shows be like “Bless me father for I have sinned, I have committed one (1) sin that reveals relevant plot information”
The line separating sophisticated French dude and Florida man passes not through nations, nor between classes, not between political parties either - but right through every human heart
It’s so fucked up that you have to keep working during the summer. Our whole lives we have summer vacation then at a certain point they take it away from us and we just accept it.
She seems like a nice person. I think you should look within to ask what it is about you that makes you want to denigrate others and take them down. You may find you’re a happier person when you treat others with kindness instead of malice. Cheers brother.
My grandmother left my grandfather to move to Las Vegas and pursue a dream of fame that never came true. He stayed behind to raise their ten children on his own as a single father without a college degree. He was simply built different.
I hate the phrase “do the reading”. If you are defending a small and relatively fringe ideological viewpoint and you want it to get serious consideration it is your responsibility to explain it, not everyone else’s responsibility to read your favorite impenetrable tome
There was a study on rats once that gave them basically everything they could want. Food toys sex etc, just everything a rat could need out of life. They went insane and ended up either becoming severely depressed and lethargic or violent and self-destructive. That haunts me lol.
It’s not like I was a starry-eyed free marketeer before this but watching the way capital has reacted to the first tight labor market of my lifetime has been unbelievably illuminating
Every book by an English historian is dedicated “To Gladwyn Turbutt- who took me to Crécy” and what that is referencing is a torrid homosexual affair that took place between the two ugliest men imaginable
I don’t usually like to share too much personal stuff on the TL, but please pray for me, 2020 has been the worst year of my life and I’m really not in a good place
We can’t let the wealthy genetically manipulate their kids to be smarter. If you think the “I’m a gifted kid burnout” posts are bad now wait until they’re being made by kids who were told they were lab engineered to be geniuses
Liz Bruenig said that she went to Indiana and that people “were nice” - come to find out she actually watched them kill someone. Pretty fucked up that she’d say that imo.
You can’t really love someone if you’re always holding them at arm’s length in preparation for the day when you’ll determine their presence in your life is no longer maximizing your utility. That is to live a life that is less than fully human. Imo.
Part of what’s depressing about the collapse of the classics is that learning a language without intensive study taught by an expert is *extremely* hard. People can read Plato or whatever in translation on their own. Very few are going to be able to learn Greek on their own.
If Christ did not rise then the world is an empty, meaningless place, consciousness a sorry accident, and life is nothing except a funeral march to your grave. But He did rise. The unconquerable enemy has been conquered. Happy Easter.
This is insanely evil and it really seems like the putative knowledge that was gathered as a result was little more than an excuse for the cruelty. We need to think about the level of blind deference that is given to any activity that is performed in the name of “science”
