I appreciate your confidence in me! (Please accept me Canadians)

Somehow I'm in the "Cool Canadians" starter pack. I'm neither cool, nor Canadian. But I'm not complaining. Can I leverage this to get Canadian citizenship and escape the U.S.? go.bsky.app/GXyXxMP

This...is amazing. But I can't justify $74 for a t-shirt (with shipping). Bummer.

I've been enjoying a summer of basically only reading fiction (or creative non-fiction). Although my particular mental deficiencies have also kept me on a rail of trying to complete David Foster Wallace's collected works, so I can't say I've had diverse reading this summer.

In the ep, I mention the aesthetic bookending shots from Ivan's Childhood (Tarkovsky's first film) and The Sacrifice (his last). Here's a side-by-side (or, I guess, top-to-bottom) that shows how precise of a filmmaker he was. www.instagram.com/reel/DXxJyjL...

And submitting oneself to the absolute temporal and theological authority of the papacy, ironically of course, is one of the most conservative principles humans have ever invented. Yet, they don't like "that kind of conservatism."

Catholics serving the American regime love to espouse their conservatism in theological ways except when it comes to one of the principal axioms of being a Catholic: submitting to Rome.
