@poperespecter1 It's simply a money grab by its oracles. A religion antithetical to Christianity by its very nature.

[Dcn. David Hess @DavidHess]

@Xtopher_Uzo Just stop.

Christianity gets enough flak and assaults from Protestantism as it is, without spreading this kind of personal attention-seeking drama.

@OncaMbl Causing someone with a gun to fear for their life doesn't seem the brightest action to take

For those who survived, consider needlepoint instead of hostage taking next time

@WallStreetApes That would be acceptable if I’m able to access an itemized breakdown of my current billing, and ordering food.

A list of all included services available might be helpful as well.

@SwamTheTiber @LizzieMarbach Thank you @SwamTheTiber!

When it comes to the history of Christianity (Catholicism), adherents of Protestantism and Personal Concluder Ideology avoid it in an effort to market their antithetical movements as new and improved

"Evolution spent millions of years building an aerospace navigation system inside a 300 gram animal."

Precision, replicated, order out of chaos.

Got it 🙄

[The Curious Tales @thecurioustales]

🚨 JUST IN: A migratory bird just shattered world records — flying 8,425 miles (13,560 km) NON-STOP across the Pacific without landing once.

The bar-tailed godwit doesn’t stop to eat, drink, or sleep during its migration across the Pacific Ocean. Its journey from Alaska to Australia takes roughly 11 days of continuous flight, covering over 13,000 kilometers through storms, headwinds, and open ocean with zero land beneath it the entire time.

Before departure, it does something almost surgical to its own body. It shrinks its digestive organs down to almost nothing, converting the stomach, intestines, and liver into raw fuel. The bird essentially eats its own gut to make room for fat reserves that will power its wings for nearly two weeks straight.

The brain doesn’t fully sleep either. Half of it stays active while the other half rests, alternating in shifts mid-flight at altitude over the open Pacific. The godwit is simultaneously unconscious and navigating with magnetic field sensitivity that no human instrument in the 18th century could replicate.

What makes this genuinely staggering beyond the physical record is the navigational precision involved. The bird leaves Alaska and arrives in New Zealand with accuracy that would embarrass early GPS systems. It reads Earth’s magnetic field, atmospheric pressure gradients, star positions, and potentially quantum-level compass mechanisms inside its eye that literally let it see magnetic field lines overlaid on its visual field.

Evolution spent millions of years building an aerospace navigation system inside a 300 gram animal.

We spend billions engineering machines that do what this bird does on instinct, fat reserves, and half a sleeping brain.
The longest recorded non-stop flight by a commercial aircraft is around 20 hours.

This bird does 11 days.

Without a runway.

@_Postive_Vibes A lot of drama is about to hit the fan, over such a small number. Is the “700” a typo from Grok?

Your Holiness,
I’m available to be your advisor…

Here is why the military action against Iran is morally justified:

As a faithful Catholic, I support the joint U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran today (Feb 28, 2026) because they meet every criterion of Catholic Just War doctrine (CCC 2309; Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, esp. #506).
No Catholic is required to oppose legitimate self-defense or the defense of the innocent.
Here is the evidence that supports my claim:

1. Grave, lasting, certain damage inflicted by the aggressor
Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism (U.S. State Department designation, reaffirmed in 2026 fact sheets). It arms Hezbollah, Hamas, and Houthis — groups that have killed Americans, launched thousands of rockets at Israel, and attacked U.S. bases. IAEA confidential report released yesterday (Feb 27, 2026) confirms Iran possesses ~440 kg of 60% enriched uranium — enough for ~10 nuclear weapons if further enriched — stored underground at Isfahan, with new enrichment activity at Natanz/Fordow and zero IAEA access since the June 2025 war. Iran blocks inspectors, has lost “continuity of knowledge” over its stockpile, and is the only non-nuclear-weapon state producing such material. A nuclear-armed Iran is not hypothetical; it is imminent and existential for Israel and a direct threat to the U.S. The aggressor is Tehran.

2. All other means exhausted
40+ years of sanctions, the JCPOA (which Iran violated), and the most recent round of Geneva nuclear talks (just days ago, Feb 26–27) have all failed because Iran refuses zero enrichment and full transparency. The IAEA itself states it “cannot verify whether Iran has suspended all enrichment-related activities.” When peaceful means prove ineffective, Compendium #506 is explicit: “it is legitimate and even obligatory to take concrete measures to disarm the aggressor.”

3. Serious prospect of success
Precision strikes on nuclear sites (Natanz, Fordow, Isfahan), missile facilities, and regime targets by the U.S. and Israel have a high probability of success — exactly the standard required. The operation is ongoing and focused on degrading the nuclear and military threat, not endless occupation.

4. Proportionality of response
These are targeted military/nuclear strikes, not indiscriminate civilian bombing. Preventing a nuclear terror state that sponsors daily proxy wars and persecutes its own people produces far less evil than allowing the threat to materialize. Modern precision weapons make “wait for the first mushroom cloud” the immoral choice.

Bonus: Defense of the persecuted
Iran’s regime brutally persecutes Catholics and Christians. In 2025 alone: 254 Christians arrested (nearly double 2024), 73 sentenced to a cumulative 280+ years in prison (harsher than prior years), per the joint “Scapegoats” report from Article18, Open Doors, CSW, and Middle East Concern. House churches raided, Bibles banned, apostasy punishable by death. Defending these brothers and sisters is the Good Samaritan in action (Lk 10:25–37), not “impeachable.”

This is not an offensive war of conquest. It is legitimate defense against a clear, ongoing, and escalating aggressor who has rejected every diplomatic off-ramp. The Church has never taught pacifism in the face of grave evil (see also CCC 2308–2310 and St. Augustine/Aquinas on just war).

I pray for peace, for the conversion of Iran, for minimal civilian harm, and for the fall of this tyrannical regime — but supporting a just operation to protect the innocent and disarm the threat is fully compatible with being a faithful Catholic.

God bless you, Pope Leo.
God bless America.

Today was nothing short of insane. Dayton broke its all time 24 hour snowfall record set in 1978. Columbus will likely come in at the top 3 (unconfirmed amounts of over a foot near the airport) and the first ever level 3 Snow Emergency for Franklin County. I was originally going to cover the Ice Storm in Mississippi before I left to cover this portion on the home front and very glad I did. Check out the full journey below! #ohwx
