@bitmapped Read the fine print. I believe you’re due for additional potholes.

@jacquebland Versus a Sundae? Are you mad? Stop reading at the eclair or Sundae!!

Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston getting a new bishop https://t.co/xWjwlNZoMj

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

NEW: Pope Leo XIV has named Salvadoran immigrant Evelio Menijar-Ayala to be West Virginia’s lone Catholic bishop.

As a teenager, he made three attempts to enter the United States illegally.

He finally arrived in California in 1990, having been smuggled in the trunk of a car with his brother over the border crossing between Tijuana and San Diego.

Over the next several years, Menjivar-Ayala worked janitorial and construction jobs in California before deciding to become a priest.

It’s a remarkable choice in a state that is over 90% white and voted for President Trump by 42 points.

@roccopalmo A fairly high percentage of our priests are international - Indian, Filipino. Will be an interesting appoint for the DWC.

@ameliaknisely Mo Willems is the best. The pigeon is crazy, and Eleohant and Piggy are rockstars!

There is an art to managing people, particular colleagues. A co-worker today started to explain her thought process on an upcoming event, and wound up asking me to do something all in a neat package. She got me interested and by the time she was finished, I was ready to help.

Everyone I go shopping, I expect to see @BradMcElhinny chasing down a corrupt landlord at my grocery store. Maybe one day!

It’s interesting to go from 4 carriers in the Pacific to the huge number in 1944 and ultimate air and sea domination.

[Robert @robertgp421]

Reading Twlight of the Gods. It’s the final book in Ian Toll’s trilogy of the war in the Pacific. Much better understanding of the Navy and Marines’ role.

@nunblogger @AdobeDesign This doesn't solve your issue, but you may want to think about it long term. Canva can be free to your religious organization (we have flipped to it in our parish) and once I learned to speak Canva, it was really a good move.

I keep seeing complaints that schools are running out of food at lunch. Noah has mentioned this for specific foods - but at least on Facebook, I'm seeing complaints about school lunches being out of food period.

At least in WV, the nationally syndicated programs aren't stuff that I've been interested in listening to - I do like local news/discussion programs but had sort of trended away from them.

[Robert @robertgp421]

I've thought for a while this would happen. (I actually thought it happened a long time ago, was wrong). Podcasts lead am/fm now in spoken word listening. https://t.co/IftjO3kkn0

Couple of things - It looks like they account for 79% together of the market. I'm assuming audiobooks, maybe satellite radio make up the balance? The full results are behind a paywall.

@AskAnnAli Here’s a mug for you. 😀

@CahnEmily Yes, and if you don't eat right there can be a lot of discomfort. Newly diagnosed T2 diabetic. GLP1 has helped me tremendously both with blood sugar and weight. The food noise is gone. GLP1 helps but is no means the easy way out.
