Today, on this Feast of St. Michael the Archangel whose intercession is lately called down by so many Traditional parishes, spare a thought for the equally historical Nephilim, a race of giants who descended to Earth and were defeated by Michael. If you're in for some of it you're in for all of it.

Coinciding with Dept of Ed's MASA campaign, this should alarm for its technofeudal embrace. Only drones are needed for profit. Creativity or broadly educated citizens for thriving civic culture are not only absent, they're now discouraged in policy. This is govt servicing tech billionaires.

In their first full season since the election Leo XIV, the White Sox have gone from the cellar to the postseason. Do I really believe the Pope interceded for the White Sox to achieve this? No I do not. I know Leo has bigger priorities. But perhaps God rewards Sox fans who are doing a good job.

From today's @thepvdeye.bsky.social newsletter: here's my call for opinion submissions about this week's seismic Primary Day in PVD. Email philip@pvdeye.org.

From Philip Eil, our volunteer opinion section editor:

When major events happen in Providence, we at the Eye like to put out a call for multiple perspectives to include in our Readers Voices section. We did this first in the aftermath of the Brown University shooting last December and, again, a couple months later, after Providence’s historic February snowstorm.

This week’s primary day — where an incumbent mayor lost a primary for the first time in city history, an incumbent governor also lost (to Providence resident Helena Foulkes), and multiple candidates won spots on the Providence city council for the first time — felt like one of those big moments. So we are, once again, putting out a call.

If you've got a commentary or analysis to write about Primary Day in Providence, if you’ve got thoughts to share about what the day felt like, if you’ve got photographs you took, please consider submitting them to the Eye. You can email them to philip@pvdeye.org.

Please note: we prefer pieces about ideas and policies over rants or raves about specific candidates.

Sinclair Lewis, FTW! "His humor was the sly cynicism of a country store."

Doremus Jessup, so inconspicuous an observer, watching Senator Windrip from so humble a Boeotia, could not explain his power of bewitching large audiences. The Senator was vulgar, almost illiterate, a public liar easily detected, and in his
"ideas" almost idiotic, while his celebrated piety was that of a traveling salesman for church furniture, and his yet more celebrated humor the sly cynicism of a country store.
