Wonderful story from @nwinfield! Essentially:
Vicars of Christ… are Just Like Us (w/ the travel delays).
And… not! (with royal Uber leaving Vatican journos stranded)

A VA nurse. A responsible gun owner. Respectful, not cynical. Someone who clearly believed in the rights and responsibilities of freedom.

Pope Leo XIV to the Diplomatic Corps accredited to the Holy See:

“It is painful to see how, especially in the West, the space for genuine freedom of expression is rapidly shrinking.  At the same time, a new Orwellian-style language is developing which, in an attempt to be increasingly inclusive, ends up excluding those who do not conform to the ideologies that are fueling it.”

[George Orwell @OrwellQuotes]

"It was nearly eleven hundred, and in the Records Department, where Winston worked, they were dragging the chairs out of the cubicles and grouping them in the centre of the hall opposite the big telescreen, in preparation for the Two Minutes Hate."

My Canadian grandparents always used words like ‘cheque’ & ‘colour’.

They’d sit on the Chesterfield, which always had antimacassers.

Yet Carney’s British spellings are now somehow un-Canadian?

From @WSJopinion: The political cycle of using government to punish opponents is taking the country into dark corners that will result in less freedom, and less free speech, for all sides https://t.co/3l4JtBJKCL

Former Disney CEO Michael Eisner weighs in on the @jimmykimmel firing - not impressed by the leadership of his successor @RobertIger in this case!

[Michael Eisner @Michael_Eisner]

Where has all the leadership gone?  If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment?  The “suspending indefinitely” of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the Chairman of the FCC's aggressive yet hollow threatening of the Disney Company is yet another example of out-of-control intimidation.  Maybe the Constitution should have said, “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, except in one’s political or financial self-interest.” By-the-way, for the record, this ex-CEO finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny.

Can @DavidMoralesRI (who turns 27 later this month) use @ZohranKMamdani's playbook to spring into City Hall? He'd face an uphill climb (and Brett Smiley isn't Andrew Cuomo), but Morales says he's about doing the work https://t.co/ObPQbnfGmm
