This account stans space, science, Scalia, and Taylor Swift. (And rugby, writing, and other cool things. You’ll catch on.) Of no tribe/clique: Not voting for your candidate, don’t care about your issue. My sole obligation is to speak truth as I—to the best of my ability—see it.

The "warmth of collectivism" is to freeze while those with heated dachas tell you how noble your sacrifice is.

Mamdani: We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism

There was a line from Zohran Mamdani’s inaugural address yesterday that took my breath away. He said he intended to replace “the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” Collectivism in its various forms is responsible for the deaths of at least one…


Happy new year to everyone except the #Microsoft fickheads who removed print clustering.


A demilitarized zone makes sense, assuming that the DMZ also extends across the border into Russia and its Belarussian puppet.

In the first round of ballots, the candidate who actually led was Cardinal Péter Erdő of Hungary — the great hope of the conservative bloc. Yes, the conservatives mustered enough votes on the initial ballot to put Erdő on top, with somewhere in the 20s out of 133 votes. This…


Justice Gorsuch’s dissent is crazytown. If “[i]n the present posture of this case … caution seems to me [to be] key,” then restraining the Presient’s startling, novel, farcical, and dangerous overreach pending full determination on the merits is exactly the cautious move.

Interesting stuff about the 28 field, sure, but maybe burying the lede: crosstab aggregation is back!

Six pollsters have tested the way-too-early 2028 national Democratic presidential primary over the last 50 days. I’ve aggregated their crosstabs to give us a baseline sense of where the race stands by demographic subgroup as 2025 comes to an end. Lots to dive into. 🧵

Of course it’s uniquely vile that Trump can’t resist making whatever happens about himself, but it makes sense: He is his favorite subject, and lots of people can’t resist making whatever happens about their favorite subject.

Mass shooting at Brown University, Jewish people shot to death in Australia, movie producer Rob Reiner stabbed to death in his own house… I wonder when people are going to realize that the chaos will not stop so long as our “progressive” secular society does not return to God.…

PSA: When someone dies, you don’t have to let the world know that you didn’t agree with his or her politics. Those on the left who had some morals and didn’t participate in celebrations of the assassination of Charlie Kirk still put up these stupid disclaimers, and now many…

And confirms @dianemontagna’s revelation that the survey of global bishops found broad satisfaction with SP. So TC was built on a lie.

Monsignor George Gäswein, Apostolic Nuncio to Lithuania and former secretary of Pope Benedict XVI, criticizes Traditiones Custodes and the restrictions to the Traditional Latin Mass.



New coinage: “AI AgitSlop.”


There is an idea that you can “strike” a country, without malice or desire for war, and even though it may be perceived as an act of war, it’s just a strike unless the recipient chooses to accept it as an act of war. But by that mystifying logic, Pearl Harbor was just a “strike.”

🇯🇵 Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi makes it clear: "We will not retract our statements about Taiwan and China". The Japanese foreign minister Mr. Motegi also repeats the same claim. There will be no retractions or apologies to the CCP. Ever.

It’s just amazing that the successor of St. Peter, after 2,000 years, continues to be venerated, respected, and obeyed, including in the lands St. Peter himself evangelized. But now, instead of horses and donkeys, it’s airplanes and cars.

The papal plane received special escort from the Lebanese government…all part of the warm welcome for #PopeLeo
