A carpenter who helped restore Notre-Dame after the devastating 2019 fire was granted permission to marry inside the cathedral, becoming part of its first wedding ceremony in 30 years.
A remarkable exception was made when 29-year-old master carpenter Martin Lorentz was allowed to marry his fiancée, Jade, inside Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. Lorentz had spent three years hand-carving the massive oak beams used to rebuild “the Forest”—the cathedral’s intricate medieval roof structure, which was destroyed in the devastating 2019 fire. Because Notre-Dame is classified as a national monument rather than a parish church, private weddings have been prohibited for decades, making theirs the first ceremony held there since 1995.
In recognition of Lorentz’s dedication to the cathedral’s restoration, Archbishop Laurent Ulrich personally granted the rare permission. Around 500 guests attended the ceremony, including family, friends, and many of the craftsmen who helped bring Notre-Dame back to life. As the newlyweds left the cathedral, Lorentz’s fellow carpenters formed a traditional guard of honor, raising their axes overhead in a moving tribute to the man who helped rebuild one of France’s most treasured landmarks.
🚨CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS🚨
Did you know that President George W. Bush won the 2000 presidential election by 537 votes?
Yes.
Florida decided the presidency by a mere 537 votes.
So, when states — like New Jersey — are registering non-citizens to vote & hundreds of fraudulent votes are being counted,
it presents a constitutional crisis & a National Emergency.

@fishercatMaine@Utah_Man_Sir The problem is that this worldview is reinforced by every piece of media out there. Every single movie, etc. that has action and a female lead tells girls that they can beat up guys two to three times their size. And they believe it even once they're adults and should know better
@real_artforz@badbirb@Utah_Man_Sir@SofarmFood The problem I'm running into is convincing the 12-year-old how very much stronger he is than everyone else. He thinks because he's not athletic-- he's a video game nerd-- that he's puny and weak, when really he's 2-3x as strong as his 10-year-old athletic sister.
@Utah_Man_Sir My (very muscular, athletic) 10yo granddaughter has been convinced she is stronger than her 12-year-old brother (who is made of marshmallows). A couple days ago he decided to settle it once and for all by arm wrestling her. She was furious that he won every time.
“Women don’t control their eggs and ovulation!!!1!1”
Absolutely agree. We have no control over this.
Know what we DO have control over?
Refusing access to our vaginas and ovums.
Outside of the crime of rape, if you women are controlling your bodies in the first place (which includes controlling who you allow access to it), pregnancy wouldn’t be an issue and abortion wouldn’t be your pet cause.

Jews don’t eat bacon, but they don’t try to ban it for others.
Mormons don’t drink coffee, but they don’t try to ban it for others.
The Amish don’t use electricity, but they don’t try to shut down power plants.
Islamism wants to force everyone to live under Sharia law.
If you leave it too long to provide your child with gender affirming care, there's a very serious danger that being Trans will go out of fashion before the process is complete.
In my homeland, an apology is a solemn debt carried for a week.
In America I bumped a man's cart and began the proper ceremony of remorse.
"You're good," he said, and walked away.
The case was closed before my first bow was complete. I stood there holding unused shame like a fish nobody would take.
So I tested the magic words. I apologized for standing near a door. "You're good." For breathing loudly in an aisle. "You're good." For existing on a Tuesday. "You're good, man."
Two words that forgive anything, instantly, forever. This is the most powerful spell I have encountered in this country, and they hand it out for free.
Yesterday a man knocked my coffee flying and looked ready to die.
"You're good," I told him, and watched relief flood a stranger's face.
I now walk the streets hoping to be bumped. I want to forgive. I have so much mercy stored up and nowhere legal to put it.
I don't give a damn if taking a side creates a mountain of enemies, if even my former fans turn against me, if my 300,000 followers shrink to three.
Deep in my soul I respect Elon Musk to the absolute maximum.
If he hadn't risked everything, succeeded, and bought X, free speech in Japan would already be dead.
We would all be living exactly as the leftist and Chinese-controlled television tells us to — and we would already be becoming Islamic.
By the time my daughter entered elementary school there might have been a law forcing us to hand her over to Muslims.
Human beings are not born to be liked by others.
We do not live so that our daughters can smile and say "you're a good person" while we enjoy a peaceful, smiling life.
Even if I lose everything, I will still protect my daughters somehow.
That is the definition of being human.
The only platform that still gives us any chance of protecting that is X.
From the very moment Twitter was renamed, I have deliberately and loudly called it X.
I have done nothing wrong.
I will never apologize to anyone.
America should be a country for Americans.
Japan should be a country for Japanese.
Britain should be a country for the British.
That is all.
@glennbeck Ai companies proclaiming these extreme situations like this, ai doomsday takeover scenario or them forming their own language, or one version creating the next etc.
ARE marketing. Makes people want to use there model.
I spent time inside a “trans help” group posing as a minor who needed to hide everything from my parents.
The adults in the group did not pause. They did not redirect me to a doctor. They did not suggest telling a parent. They gave me sourcing instructions, supplier links, and workflows for obtaining DIY hormones discreetly.
Adults, coaching a child on how to medically transition behind their parents’ backs.
I will be exposing this network in the coming days.
