And then he sensed the Holy One, so present in the mass, was present in the growing trees and in the lowly grass. The voice that spoke to him in dreams spoke also in the flowing streams, for sometimes Heaven shines and gleams even in things that pass. Malcolm Guite, *Galahad and the Grail* (2026)

Illustration of young Galahad standing in a tree, holding out a knife and looking up as doves fly around him.

Meme of Bill Murray from the movie Groundhog's Day, holding up a news microphone and addressing the camera. Text says: Well, it's Taco Tuesday...again."

Trump asked if NATO would be there for the US if needed. Sophia Bruun was a Danish soldier killed by an IED in Afghanistan's Helmand Province on June 1, 2010. She was 22.

As a freshman representative, Mike Johnson crafted a "Commitment to Civility" pledge for his colleagues. The pledge lamented "an increasing division in and coarsening of our culture fueled too often by the vitriol in our politics and public discourse." Now: Trump's AI shitting video is "satire."

Someone better versed in Catholic post-liberalism than I needs to explain what Vermeule means here, otherwise I will assume he sees a woman wearing pants, yells "Disorder!" and flees for safety.
