David Sedaris thinks that if we just lived for the plot, we'd have material to write anything. He explains:
"My friend asked me what I did in the afternoon. I said, 'I went to the post office.' He replied, 'Why would you do that? You don't even need to go to the post office. If you have something you want mailed, you have the hotel called FedEx and they come and pick it up.'"
"I don't want to live like you. I want to go to the post office. And I went to the post office and it was remarkable. Or sometimes you go to the post office and the person is just grumpy and you can even get something out of that."
"I wanna live. I wanna be out there. I don't wanna sit at home and order everything online, and use all the shortcuts."
Quick reminder that Val from The Birdcage is the worst son in movie history. Worse than The Good Son. Worse than We Need To Talk About Kevin. Worse than Kylo Ren.
Reminder,
The Catholic Church has officially said Nike and Adidas are both fine. It’s okay to have Jordans and Superstars,
Peter has spoken, swag is good. It’s Skechers that are bad.
nobody move nobody change the channel nobody adjust the volume

they’re winning because of us we figured out the exact right combination NOBODY FUCKING MOVE
People are marveling at this, but it is absolutely normal Catholicism. American right-wing Catholics who ignore—or even delight in—poverty, violence and oppression are the aberration.
Pope Leo's Easter message:
"Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!"
