And also unpleasant as an adult child too! I still get dragged by my mother for the time I hid under a table whenever I mention my kids getting their shots.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars”, “Star Trek”, “Dr. Who”, or “Transformers.”

Cast of Battlestar Galactica at a table in a style reminiscent of Da Vinci's Last Supper. At least one robot(toaster) in this scene.

I feel like this solid advice could be applied to other social organizations. For example, while the Catholic Church's reputation is far from stellar, would it be that bad for Pope Leo to apply some minimum standards on catpiss guy, JD Vance, before it gets even worse?

Homily from a few weeks ago; priest railed against political corruption and where the country was going. He mentioned how we were "less free now" than before. Afterwards, I wondered which freedom he was referring to and my sharp-witted wife pointed out that the answer could be "oh you know the one"

It's been years, but I still wonder what it says about me when the only time I've fallen for the fake phishing emails was for a PDF of food trucks.
