•  Quote of the Day

  Mark Brumley@mabrumley (October 25, 2023) Sometimes we spout off. At least many of us do. Often we should be more careful what we say. Public figures, even ones we think wrong, shouldn’t be mischaracterized, including politicos, presidents, plebs, popes, prelates, professors, personalities, polemicists, and hoi polloi. I know, I know. It’s not as much fun.

  Mary Pezzulo@mary_pezzulo (Oct 25, 2023) I was going to watch an episode of Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood to soothe myself after an irritating day, but we don’t have the Amazon PBS Kids add-on due to Adrienne being too grown up for it and the episodes are paywalled. So I’m watching Cocaine Bear.

•  Quote of the Day

  (((Simcha Fisher)))@SimchaFisher (October 26, 2023)One of the local public radio stations does “eight o’clock Bach” and it’s such a work of mercy. The man has been dead almost 300 years but he always restores my faith in humanity.

  Andrew Petiprin@AndrewPetiprin (October 26, 2023) I had a wonderful time teaching a group of Dominican novices this afternoon. I come close to despair when I consider the state of the hierarchy sometimes, but these young men give me great hope.

  Old Haunted Tree @OldHollowTree (October 26, 2023) Well, my three year old daughter just walked into the kitchen with a piece of deli ham and asked the cat “Do you want some ham, kitty?” before looking at the slice, stopping for a moment, asking out loud “Or…do *I* want some ham…?” and finally eating it much to the cat’s woe.

  Thy Geekdom Come��@ThyGeekdomCome (October 26, 2023) The 6yo has been making me birthday presents out of legos all day. He builds something, shows it to me, then destroys it and builds something else. All I could possibly want from him.

•  Quote of the Day

  Melody Lyons@melodymlyons (Oct 27, 2023) There were multiple stages in my conversion to being pro-life.
