But it was all right, he had won the victory over himself. He loved Mariachi Mass.

As evidenced by the unbridled promotion and implementation of technology at the expense of human dignity, we are truly experiencing an eclipse of the sense of what it means to be human. It is imperative to recover an understanding of the true meaning and grandeur of humanity as intended by God. It is in this sense that the challenge we currently face is not technological, but anthropological, and it is my hope that the Encyclical Letter to be published within a few days will contribute to answering this challenge.

@KADER14X @Empty_America This isn’t to say that Spanish society was some egalitarian utopia. There were abuses, but largely outside of the established laws of the empire. Spanish America’s legal system, had it survived the tumult of the Napoleonic Wars, would have been a force in the latter 19th century.

@KADER14X @Empty_America The indigenous had more rights under the Spanish Crown than during any time under the leadership of La Reforma. Indios were given the right to hold land and appeal cases directly to the King under La República de Indios y de Españoles. Los derechos indigenes disappeared later.

@CrankyFed I’ve heard stories about their time at Yale. Coffin hated him so much. Lol.

In the changes of the world the shapes of lands and of seas have been broken and remade; rivers have not kept their courses, neither have mountains remained steadfast; and to Cuiviénen there is no returning.

One thing American infrastructure got absolutely right

The small town Main Street

We should be doing everything possible to preserve and revive them

If our zoning laws protected farmland and small farms on the edges of towns even 10% of how they protect single-family housing only zones, we'd end sprawl overnight.

Single Family Housing zones are the only ones that are absolutely sacrosanct and can NEVER change.

@Empty_America South Texas has the perfect climate for *citrus* in the United States. The Rio Grande Valley still produces a substantial amount of grapefruit. Freezes happen but usually not so frequently that farmers can’t recover. It’s suburban sprawl that’s killing the Texas citrus industry.

Hail Eärendil, of mariners most renowned, the looked for that cometh at unawares, the longed for that cometh beyond hope! Hail Eärendil, bearer of light before the Sun and Moon! Splendour of the Children of Earth, star in the darkness, jewel in the sunset, radiant in the morning!

@lilpastagoblin It’s an odd mix of a movie with some very over-the-top exvangelical stereotypes of Christianity, but also some of the best Catholic pastoral scenes I’ve ever seen on screen. Imo the good priest’s character more than makes up for the cringey parts.

Preservation Texas will host a lecture at the Historic Brownsville Museum. The evening will begin with a networking reception followed by a lecture featuring Vince Michael, the executive director of Villa Finale in San Antonio. The event is free and open to the public.

@StatisticUrban @nealgetz Thank God we aren’t just slaves to the market. We can, as they say, do things.
