Christ is risen, the heavens rejoice, the Vigil is still a banger, and Bluesky is back on my phone.

Our privacy hedges aren't doing so well, but our maple is really pretty covered in a thin layer of ice.
Failing to render aid and actively preventing others from rendering aid. If this were a war zone, it would violate the Geneva Conventions.
...did they think they were booking Noem a spot at the Four Seasons? Is this another landscaping thing?
Albrecht Mohler in Luther burning a papal bull: For a Christian to destroy the Holy Father's judgment should be unthinkable. The Germans have crossed a threshold.
