Trump on data centers: "You have to convince your communities how great these things are. You can't fight it. You have to go with it."

$100 to any reporter who asks him, "so you're saying Capitol Police should've shot dead everyone who breached the Capitol on January 6?"

Homan on people getting killed by ICE: "It comes down to one simple fact -- these people failed to comply with law enforcement ... all they had to do is comply. If they did, they'd be alive today."

I love this new future where my phone won’t let me otder coffee.

This is why stamps keep going up. USPS now delivers tomorrow’s mail today. (Screenshot of delivery notice saying Tuesday, July 14th mail has been delivered)

As with many deaths, all I care to say is that I cannot fathom the depths of God’s mercy. I hope that everyone, myself included, at the moment of judgement before the creator, has their heart formed to be able to accept that mercy.

Had a nice feast of St. Benedict today. Wore my oblate habit for the first time (new-ish thing at St. Meinrad) with my St. Benedict socks 😂 and MC’d for the vicar general at the parish this evening.

"The president’s international licensing business, which looked nearly dead a few years ago, generated $61 million in 2025, according to a financial disclosure report released last week. That’s up an estimated 30% from 2024 and 900% from 2023. " ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Trump’s Foreign Licensing Business Grew 900% As He Returned To Power

The developer-in-chief is showing just how lucrative an unrestrained presidency can be.

I need ProtonVPN to have a “Censorship” option (fastest other than your own country) but to change state. I’m not going to age-auth for Bluesky. Mexico VPN FTW. #tech

Sons of man killed by ICE in Houston demand investigation: “My father would have complied." “To have been killed by our own federal government, aided by federal policies that are deliberate choices, just makes me so angry,” another said. www.texastribune.org/2026/07/08/t...

If this were the norm under capitalism, fewer people would have a problem with it. But instead it’s rabid venture capital,shareholders uber alles,scam gamble nation,& data center nihilism. There are & have always been better choices. We could just favor labor over capital& invest in public things 🤷🏾‍♀️

I’m not an expert or even knowledgeable on the Laws of the Game, but what are the bounds of VAR? That goal being overturned seems to be total bullshit. #fifa26

One of the saints for today is a medical doctor who became addicted to opium and is now a patron saint for drug addiction. Saint Mark Ji Tianxiang, pray for us! #catholic

39yo Messi vs 40yo Vozinha, it’s like a bluesky fight made it to the real world

CPV ate their Wheaties this morning. ARG has dominated the match except with very little to show for it. CPV is a wall. 🇨🇻

I’m not sure if it is the size of my orders or if places are just this careless, but my to-go/delivery orders at restaurants are missing items about 40% of the time.

I’ve been watching soccer for the last two weeks so I’m an absolute expert. BS that they disallowed that goal! (I don’t know what I’m watching; just like the underdog.)

It was a GWB and Obama appointed judge affirming, a Trump appointed judge on the dissent.
