  • ‘I Hope Someone Names A Frozen Pizza After Me’ Thinks Red Baron While Being Shot Down In WWI Dogfight - Babylon Bee

    At the time, Australian forces dismissed his thoughts as incoherent death throes because they had no idea what pizza was, but we now know that he was an intelligent man who loved pizza and wanted to make it more accessible and simple to enjoy at home.

  • Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Feels Like a Hinge Point - WSJ Opinion

    An assassination is the intentional and deliberate killing of a person for political reasons. It has a purpose: to alter events, to remove a leader, to intimidate and punish enemies.

    What we all have to do now is not let that purpose succeed.

    I asked Father Gerald Murray what advice might be hopeful. Charlie Kirk, he said, wanted to share “the eternal truths that make life meaningful and joyous. He did so by reasoned argument and dialogue. His example should inspire us to pick up the baton that fell from his hand.”

    Give War A Chance - Catholic Husband

    Thoughts and prayers aren’t a throwaway comment, but a personal promise to take upon our shoulders the burdens and sorrows of others. It’s a pledge to dedicate the precious, intimate time we share with our Creator in petition for them. We give over our time, efforts, cares, and emotions for the good of those for whom we promise to prayer. It’s a commitment to stay in the fight and to never give up on the promises of Christ, who said He would hear and answer every prayer.

  • Spirit Airlines Is Struggling, and Rivals Smell Blood - WSJ

    Struggling to find its footing after a federal judge last year struck down a $3.8 billion acquisition by JetBlue Airways, Spirit filed for its first bankruptcy in November.

    The ruling looks worse by the day. All it did was empower the legacy carriers to get stronger against a zombie Spirit and weak JetBlue.

  • For 1,000 days, starting in August 2018 and ending in May 2021, I wrote a haiku each day. I used to organize that project on its own page on my website, but I found it to be too cumbersome to manage. Thanks to MarsEdit & Micro.blog’s automation tools, I’ve now painstakingly tagged every haiku and they’re now sorted in my Archive.
