As Japan burned in the wars of the Sengoku Era,
a samurai rose whose loyalty would be tested not by battle,
but by belief.
More than four centuries later, his witness has not faded.
Today the Church honors Justo Takayama Ukon.

How did a satire site help change Twitter?
🐝 The @BabylonBee wrote a joke.
Twitter called it hate speech.
Elon called it free speech.
The rest is history.

I got to screen @Mattpirrall’s new doc ‘The Bird and the Bee’ at Anthem Film Fest today.
It was a hilarious look at the insane events that led to The Babylon Bee being kicked off Twitter before Elon saved the day—an event that will be seen in the future as a real turning point in history. The crowd loved it!
Excited to announce that my short documentary, The Bird and The Bee, has been officially accepted into four festivals so far! California friends, if you’re looking to see some amazing documentaries this weekend check out the @amdocfilmfest and see our screening on Friday at 7PM!
