🤯 Midjourney -- yes, the AI image company -- just shipped a brand new type of imaging machine. 🤯

- 100x faster than an MRI.
- 10x cheaper.

Full body scanned in 60 seconds instead of an hour in a tube. Ultrasound based, MRI-level resolution.

And it's real -- not a concept, a working machine. You step into a shallow pool of warm water, a ring of half a million sensors sends sound through your body from every angle, and ~60 seconds later you have a 3D map of your insides down to a fraction of a millimeter. No radiation, no tube, no lying still.

They're not even building it as a hospital machine -- they're building a spa. The scan is a side-effect of a place you'd want to hang out anyway.

Lastly, it is built by 9 people. NINE PEOPLE.

You can just do things.

In his Summa Theologiae, St Thomas Aquinas laid out one of the most charitable yet practical arguments concerning immigration that effectively shaped the West for almost 1,000 years.

1. Immigration must always be proportionate so that foreigners can properly assimilate into the culture and mode of worship of the state.

2. Citizenship – and associated rights – should only ever be granted after the third generation to preserve the culture, mode of worship, and constitution of the state.

3. The common good of the citizens must remain the highest priority of the state, meaning, the state's obligation to provide aid to its neighbours can never be at the expense of the citizens.

However, Aquinas ends with the sobering reminder that some peoples and states are incompatible with one another, and these must be held as "foes in perpetuity".

Imagine relaxing in a grotto listening to Nocturne op. 9 no. 2…

You are sipping prosecco with your friends and taking in the moment…

All of a sudden a vessel full of retards comes barreling at you at 39 knots while blaring Wacky D’s newest mixtape.

Moment ruined.

The Native people of the UK deserve to have their homeland back. We must respect indigenous culture and identity, and acknowledge the deep and enduring connection that the Native communities of the UK maintain with their ancestral homeland, affirming and honoring their rights and heritage. We must support decolonization efforts and acknowledge the historical harms inflicted on the Native peoples of the UK and the broader indigenous community all across Western Europe and the entire Anglosphere.

The video of my lecture "Liturgy as the Sacrifice of Praise: Renewing our Orientation to God," given in Greensboro, NC, on April 25, is now up on my YouTube channel. It presents the stark contrast between "horizontal"/communal and "vertical"/theocentric conceptions of divine worship, and explores how contrast plays out in various aspects of the Mass and the Divine Office.

Pope Leo XIII on the effects of vice on the soul

Conversation with Dave Ramsey (probably)

Person: Hey Dave, I’m thinking about buying a new car

Dave: NO

Person: But Dave, check out these numbers

Dave: NO

Person: Dave, do you know what the used car market is like these days? I literally have $20k for a down payment on a new car.

Dave: Then buy a 20k car.

Person: But Dave, a used $20k car has 150k miles on it already. I drive about 15k miles a year. If I financed the car over 5 years, the car would still only have 75k miles on it by the time I’m done paying it off. I would get at least 8 extra years out of the car.

Dave: You can’t afford the car if you have to finance the car

Person: But Dave, I make $9,000 a month. A modest $400 a month car payment is very do-able for me.

Dave: You’re going to be losing so much money to interest

Person: Not really Dave. I have very good credit. I got approval for a 4% interest rate.

Dave: That’s $2,000 extra you’d be paying in interest. Imagine if that was sitting in the stock market?

Person: Yeah but Dave I’ll not be spending thousands in repairs on my car all the time if I get a used one, so in the grand scheme of things what’s $2,000 interest?

Dave: No, buy a used car

Person: I have 3 kids. We just want a reliable car and will drive it for 15 years.

Dave: Go have your kids powerwash a house. No new car.

The Papal States had capital punishment for over 1100 years. Vatican City had it until 1969.
