The whole idea of a hamburger like our whole idea of America has become twisted. We have lost touch with the greatness of our own land

It’s so crazy how people are never down to just go get a burger. It didn’t used to be like this

Imagine being a John Wilkes Booth hater in 1865, like everyone tore you up for saying he was mid in Hamlet, and then opening the paper to read that he murdered the President

Thucydides just never goes out of style:

πόλεμον δὲ ξύμπαντας ἀραμένους ἕνεκα τῶν ἰδίων, ὃν οὐχ ὑπάρχει εἰδέναι καθ’ ὅ τι χωρήσει, οὐ ῥᾴδιον εὐπρεπῶς θέσθαι
-
A war fought by a coalition pursuing individual interests, the outcome of which is impossible to know in advance, is not easily brought to a decent conclusion

Betray people once and you're a Quisling; betray people 5-6 times and you're a lovable rascal like Talleyrand and Alcibiades.

Pope Leo speaks on cinema 🎞️

"The logic of algorithms tends to repeat what 'works,' but art opens up what is possible. Not everything has to be immediate or predictable. Defend slowness when it serves a purpose, silence when it speaks and difference when evocative. Beauty is not just a means of escape; it is, above all, an invocation. When cinema is authentic, it does not merely console but challenges. It articulates the questions that dwell within us and sometimes even provokes tears that we did not know we needed to express"

"Entering a cinema is like crossing a threshold. In the darkness and silence, vision becomes sharper, the heart opens up, and the mind becomes receptive to things not yet imagined ... We live in an age where digital screens are always on. There is a constant flow of information. However, cinema is much more than just a screen; it is an intersection of desires, memories and questions. It is a sensory journey in which light pierces the darkness and words meet silence. As the plot unfolds, our mind is educated, our imagination broadens, and even pain can find new meaning"

"Cultural facilities, such as cinemas and theaters, are the beating hearts of our communities because they contribute to making them more human. If a city is alive, it is thanks in part to its cultural spaces. We must inhabit these spaces and build relationships within them, day after day. Nonetheless, cinemas are experiencing a troubling decline, with many being removed from cities and neighborhoods. More than a few people are saying that the art of cinema and the cinematic experience are in danger. I urge institutions not to give up but to cooperate in affirming the social and cultural value of this activity"

[Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry @pegobry_en]

It's worth pointing out that in Thucydides, after the Athenian orator says "The strong do what they will, the weak endure what they must," the Athenians go on to stage the Sicilian Expedition, which is widely seen both in the story and by historians as a wildly hubristic move that caused their eventual defeat in the Peloponnesian War.

What is the true meaning of life? What can free us from being trapped in meaninglessness, boredom and mediocrity? The fullness of our existence does not depend on what we store up or what we possess. Rather, fullness has to do with what we joyfully welcome and share. #JubileeOfYouth

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Saint Augustine too had a restless youth, but he did not settle for less, did not silence the cry of his heart. He sought the truth that does not disappoint, and the beauty that does not fade. How did he find it? How did he find true friendship, and a love that gives rise to hope? By finding the one who was already looking for him: Jesus Christ. How did he build his future? By following the one who had always been his friend. #JubileeofYouth

good year for post-credits scenes. first sinners hides the actual ending to the movie after the credits, then 28 years later has what can only be described as a post-credits scene as its actual ending

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Tragic news continues to arrive in these days from the Middle East, especially from Gaza. I express my profound sadness regarding last Thursday’s attack by the Israeli army on the Catholic Parish of the Holy Family in Gaza City, which as you know killed three Christians and gravely wounded others. I pray for the victims, Saad Issa Kostandi Salameh, Foumia Issa Latif Ayyad, Najwa Ibrahim Latif Abu Daoud, and I am particularly close to their families and to all the parishioners.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

I am deeply saddened to learn of the loss of life and injury caused by the military attack on the Holy Family Catholic Church in #Gaza. I assure the parish community of my spiritual closeness. I commend the souls of the deceased to the loving mercy of Almighty God, and pray for their families and the injured. I renew my call for an immediate ceasefire. Only dialogue and reconciliation can ensure enduring peace!
