Everybody’s calling the Blue Origin explosion last night a failure. They’re missing the point. New Glenn didn’t go quietly. It roared during the static fire test, lit up the Florida sky, wrecked the pad and took down the lightning tower. Nobody hurt. That’s what pushing real hardware to the...

There is a room in Málaga that was built to be the closest thing on earth to standing inside heaven. It is called the camarín of the Virgin of Victory, and it is hidden at the top of a tower inside the Santuario de la Victoria. To reach it, you climb and the ascent is the entire point... The building you are climbing through was completed in 1700, and it was designed as a single argument made in stone. At the bottom lies a crypt: a black chamber crowded with white plaster skeletons, a meditation on death and the brevity of life. From there a staircase rises, and as you climb it the light grows stronger and the imagery changes from bones to saints. The architects of the time understood this ascent as the soul's own journey, the dark crypt as the stage of penitence, the staircase as the stage of spiritual progress, and the room at the very top as the final stage: the union of the soul with the divine. That room at the top is the camarín, and its dome is one of the most extraordinary interiors in Spain... Every surface is covered in white and gold plasterwork. There is no empty space anywhere. The Baroque called this horror vacui, the horror of the void: the conviction that a space meant to represent heaven should not contain a single bare patch of stone. Out of that plasterwork emerge angels, flowers, birds, and mirrors. The mirrors are not decoration alone. They catch the light pouring in through the windows of the drum and throw it around the chamber, so that the gold seems to move and the whole room appears to shimmer and breathe. This wonder was built by people who believed that if you wanted to show a human being what heaven might feel like, you did not describe it to them. You built a room, and you let them climb into it... -- -- -- If you enjoyed this, I write a weekly newsletter read by over 50,000 people who love rediscovering the beauty of the past.

Was this a valid crashout? She thought he was cheating… so she used a Nissan as a battering ram. Ring cam. September 2nd. Suburban porch. Black Nissan planted in the brick column like it was trying to move in. Bricks everywhere. Then she hops out in the blue outfit, phone to her ear, going off: “Why haven’t you been answering my calls? I been calling you all f***ing day.” That’s not a conversation. That’s the opening statement of a property damage case. A few seconds later somebody on the other end is telling her to leave and she’s threatening to call the cops. Then she books it down the sidewalk like the brick dust is about to testify. “Few mins later…” a car rolls past like nothing happened. Here’s the part that should make every grown man sit up: this is what “I was just emotional” looks like on camera. Not a slap. Not a text rant. A whole vehicle driven into a house because the phone didn’t get picked up fast enough. You can call it toxic, you can call it Latina fire, you can call it whatever the overlay wants. I call it a grown adult who decided someone else’s porch and insurance deductible were acceptable collateral for her feelings. That’s not passion. That’s a warrant waiting to happen. If you’re a father raising boys, show them this clip. Not as a joke. As a warning. The woman who will wreck a house over unanswered calls will wreck a lot more than that once the ring is on the finger. Pick peace. Pick sanity. Pick someone who can handle a missed call without turning the front of the house into a demolition site. This is clown world in high definition. And the bill is always bigger than the attitude.
