Gavin makes the point that “some things can be an either-or.” Years ago, I remember going on a first date with a girl who, based on our conversations beforehand, claimed to be a Christian. But after we met and talked more, I came to find out she was Roman... Catholic. At the time, I didn’t know much about Roman Catholicism beyond surface-level knowledge. Towards the end of our date, I remember her saying, “I find myself gravitating more toward lighting the candle for Mary and praying to Mary than I do to Jesus. I feel closer to Mary than I do to Jesus.” That completely shocked me. Looking back, I’m not surprised we never had a second date, because my immediate reaction was a wide-eyed, “What?!” In that moment, I remember thinking clearly: She can’t possibly be a Christian if she feels closer to Mary than to the one died for her.show more

It all started about 20 years ago. I used to see this older gentleman at a coffee shop, always meeting with young men, and it left an impression on me. I eventually struck up a conversation with him, and he told me that God had called him to help younger guys avoid the mistakes he had made. [Open it up ↓]

And what are the last recorded words of Mary in scripture? “Do whatever He tells you” (at Cana). Well, one of the things He tells us is “honor your father and mother.”

This is exactly why Mary would never approve of “veneration.” God (and Mary) would never want there to be ANY potential for someone to be distracted by Mary or the saints.

You missed out on a really good woman, and she dodged a bullet. A woman who has a connection to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, the handmaiden of the Lord, whose soul magnifies the Lord, absolutely loves Jesus Christ and has the potential to be an incredible woman, wife, and mother.

I dated a Catholic right after being Born Again. I was naive as you were. But she said that she didn’t believe in the Virgin Birth, which was a shocker. We ‘broke up’ soon after.

Proof that just labeling hyperdulia of Mary "totally not worship" on paper is meaningless.

Just because Gavin doesn't get it (yet) doesn't mean he is right. If you have a problem with Mary, take it up with our Lord. Her soul does magnify the Lord.

Because we know Jesus Christ is the main character. His Mother deserves honor and gratitude. It’s not complicated. She is closer to Jesus than any other saint in heaven. Think about it.

Candace says in her speech that since Charlie passed, it has been Mary who has helped her grieve. She explains that before Charlie died, she had trouble “connecting” with Mary but once he passed, she was able to. This explains a lot. She is blaspheming Christ & practicing idolatry so of course she has since become more & more wicked. “I feel [Mary’s] presence…she is what I needed.” “Mary has a way.” “I ask Mary to wrap me, and my kids, and my family, all I’m praying for, under HER mantle...” “If you put all the love of all the mothers into one heart, it still not be equal with the love of the heart of Mary for her children.”

Shayna Bazler was asked if she knew that match at SummerSlam was going to be Ronda’s last match in WWE? “So I knew, because I’m very close with her. That was the last date on her contract, because she had planned to have another baby, and that was the plan. I mean, Ronda loves nothing more now than being a mom, and so I knew for a while, for so long we wanted to start that story.” “The reason Ronda started wrestling, I think, is we want to do this fun story. But it didn’t work out that way. And like I said, I think we did a good job with the time that we did have.” (Chris Van Vliet)

🌻: I told her, “The day you decide to stand beside me, it might be a little tiring. You may have to face things that affect you emotionally. Are you ready for that? This path may not be smooth. It may not be as beautiful as you imagine. Are you truly ready?” And she replied: “I am. I’m willing.” I didn’t even tell her about the good parts. I never talked about the positives at all. I only told her about the worst-case scenarios, about all the difficult things she might have to face. The very first thing I wanted to know was: “Will your heart be strong enough to handle it?” But she said she wanted to try. She wanted to give herself a chance. She chose to stand beside me with all the trust she had. And because of that, I felt that from that day on, I wanted to take the best possible care of her as her partner. Because she gave me that trust. The truth is, there were many people who wanted to work with her. Many of them were from major companies. But in the end, she chose… But in the end, she chose what made her feel at peace. 🍑: At first, we didn’t know each other at all. I was simply someone who had been admiring her from afar. The first reason I chose her was simple: I admired her. I liked her. But after meeting her in person and spending more time together, I began to feel brave enough to place my trust, my true self, and everything I had in her hands. I trusted her. I believed that she would take care of me. I believed that she would help me become someone who could love myself even more in the future. Because of that, I felt more and more at ease. The more time I spent with her, the more comfortable I felt around her. And then I made my decision: “Okay. I want to work with her. I want to be her partner. I want to be by her side.” ⸻ MADAME FIN X FAYEATOM LIVE #FayeAtomLiveKperfume #FayePeraya #FayeAtom #AtomPariya

🦋: Because I’m an introvert and I’m not a very open person(someone who isn't very revealing). Some things, I do think about them like... "Hey, will the younger one (Nong) think anything if I say this?" But in the end, I feel like speaking out is best, better than... expressing is the best. She (Miu) is okay; she’s more expressive than I am. She’s the type of person who speaks whatever she thinks. But I’m the type who keeps it in a bit first, and then speaks. So we have to meet in the middle to see how our communication style will be. And once it gets past that... bumpy stage for a while, it starts to flow very well. I’m not stunned (by her) because I know what kind of person she is. And I try to adjust myself to the person I’m acting/working with. Since I have to work with her, I have to understand her, understand who she is. Understanding what she's like, so we can be together without me judging her. #บวงสรวงHerInFrame #lalinalena #ลีน่าลลินา #LenaMiu

James Talarico: I justify abortion because the Bible allows for abortion… see Mary. She was asked for consent if she wants Jesus. Mary was told, not asked. Luke 1:30 - 31 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. (1:31) You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus"

"She was brought down in the end, not by the electorate, but her colleagues. Not only is it quite remarkable that she won three elections running...What was remarkable is that she polled slightly more votes on the occasion of her third victory when she had been in office eight years than on her first. That, I regard, as a triumph for her. I think I do regret that because of the commitments I made to my own wife that I did not feel able either to continue in government after 1987, or to return to government when she later asked me to do. I left her, I fear, at the mercy of her 'friends'. That, I do regret." —Lord Norman Tebbit, former Chairman of the Conservative Party (1931 - 2025) R.I.P.

.Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a hero, a staunch fighter against the violent intolerance and bossy control freakery of Islamism. She is also a personal friend of whom I am very fond. When she recently announced her conversion to Christianity, I assumed that she must be no more than a political Christian, regarding Christianity as a bulwark against Islam. I have some sympathy with the view that if you must have a religion at all, Christianity is hugely better than the leading alternative. In Hilaire Belloc’s words, “Always keep a-hold of Nurse for fear of finding something worse.” I agreed to have a public conversation with her in New York, in which I was all prepared to emphasize the distinction between a political Christian and a true believing Christian, who actually thinks Jesus was born of a virgin and rose from the dead. I think the distinction is a really important one. I don’t think a political Christian is a real Christian, any more than the kind of cultural Christian I am myself. When we met on the stage at the Dissident Dialogues meeting in New York, I was wrongfooted when Ayaan began with a personal statement which seemed to suggest that she really is a believing Christian, not just a political Christian. Well, her form of words was “I choose to believe.” I’m not sure what to make of that. Anyways, see what you think; here is the recording of our New York meeting.

“I want to follow Jesus. But I don't get to do that because I'm transgender." That's what Haley believed until a co-worker's Christ-like example challenged everything she thought she knew about Christianity. After a simple prayer inviting Jesus into her life, she encountered the love of Christ for herself. "Just a touch of His love made me mourn all the years I had spent apart from that. And I knew in that moment that I could never spend one day of my life apart from that ever again." Jesus saved her, and she eventually realized she was the woman God had made her to be.

I remember talking with the USA Hockey leadership group a few years back when I started as a youth hockey director and I was like “I don’t know if I can do this…” It was stressful as hell and it was hard to enact the kind of things I wanted to do because the youth hockey culture was so backwards on the priorities of development. They told me that I’d be shocked how many good, high level hockey people get into it for a year to give back and then are like - nah I’m good this is not the experience I was looking for. We need to find a way to entice more good hockey people to want to get involved in the youth side of the game. And I think the only way to do it is more community based hockey. Less pressure, more development. More opportunity for the players who get out of the high level of the game to enjoy coming to the rink and not feel like it’s a full time job again. We talked about the importance of more high level hockey people getting involved at the grassroots level on our latest podcast with Nick Robone. Check it out. 🎙️

Jack Harlow speaks on why he decided to make an R&B album: “I had been recording a project for 2 years after ‘Jackman’ and it wasn’t exciting me, I didn’t feel like I was working on something that would surprise people. I took a few weeks off because I was getting to a point where I was dreading going to the studio…I thought about what I actually want to do, what would intrigue me? It struck me that I wanted to do something a little more ego-less. Individuality is what appeals to me more [than celebrity]. I’m looking to carve out my own island and I’m less concerned with how immediately big I can make that island…I’m focusing on the artistry.”

I’ve talked about this on tiktok so I’m gonna talk about it here as well. My mom sexually assaulted me when I was a child. I’ve called her out on this for a long time & been labeled a liar. I decided to go get a lie detector test & I managed to pass. My mother took a lie detector test & failed… She had an excuse as to why she failed too, listen below & tell me if it makes sense. I was around 9-11, all I remember is her doing this to me & how it went down. My mother was extremely homophobic & any time I did something she deemed feminine, she would try to punish me for it. This one specific time I was using the family computer with the daughter of a woman who was living with my mom at the time. I decided to play Fancy by iggy azalea & I was singing along, my mom calls out to ask “who’s playing that” so I come to her as she called out & when she asked I lied to her…I was scared so I told her the little girl was playing the song. She called the little girl in the room and asked her instead of me. The little girl proceeded to tell my mother how it wasn’t her who was playing the song & it was me. My mother thrusts at me & starts beating me mercilessly. Screaming “you wanna be a bitch?!” “This what you want?!” & as she’s beating me she shoved her finger inside me saying “you like d*ck in yo a** b*tch?!” Her boyfriend at the time had to pull her off of me & tell her to stop. I even remember her going to wash the fecal matter off of her finger. I may not get the legal justice I deserve but I will continue to tell my story to be an advocate for people who faced something similar with really no safe space to speak on it. I allowed her to condition me to think for years that I had to forgive her, we had to work on our relationship because “we were all we had” but I was being lied to by the narcissist I call a mother. There was no work that would ever be done, just me tolerating stuff I don’t have to while keeping secrets that aren’t mine. Help me get my story out there, I have 3 younger siblings & she’s been exploiting them & I for monetary gain on the internet since I was a child. Every time I did something she didn’t like she would broadcast it to her followers on Facebook. Now I’ve built my own platform, now my voice can truly be heard.

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

Being here on these steps feels spiritual to me. I’ve stared at the Salad Days cover since I learned of Minor Threat when I was 14. I think back to that first mixtape Jared Hein gave me in class sophomore year of highschool. Hearing Minor Threat on that tape for the first time opened a new door I didn’t even know existed. It pulled me into a world that felt raw, honest, and completely alive. The Salad Days cover. Those steps. It resonates with all of us who came up in this scene. It is more than an image. It is a feeling, a moment, a shared memory. This is my second time here. The first was over 20 years ago, and I can’t find that photo anywhere. So I had to take this one for myself. Just to reconnect. To bring myself back to the music and to that version of me that first felt it. Walking up to the Dischord Records house really does feel spiritual and like a time portal to when I was a teenager and all I cared about was going to shows and listening to records with my friends. Sitting on these steps, you can feel the history in a way that is hard to explain. One day I will meet Ian MacKaye. That would be a dream.

If you've been following me lately, you know that I talked about being Jesus-curious after Charlie Kirk's memorial. I never expected almost 2 million people to see that. Shawn and I are going to try church tomorrow. But how do you pick a church? People said to pick a good church. I don't even know what that means. I always thought that "church" was inherently good. Charlie's memorial wasn't even a week ago and it feels like ages ago at the same time. I want to feel what I felt during the music again. I want to hear someone talk about Jesus, not shame people like me for not knowing Jesus. I'm honest enough to admit that I'm afraid, I won't even lie. This is absolutely terrifying because I have avoided it for years. So how do we pick? What do we look for? How do you know you're not going to get sucked down the wrong path? What I do know is that I feel compelled to be a part of this.

Sam Merrill on Donovan Mitchell: “Donovan is someone that…it’s hard to describe what Donovan means to me. I remember when I was in the G League with the Charge, there was one time where we would go after them…I was just sitting on the side, he was sitting there, came up & we talked. We knew each other from the Utah days but he didn’t have to do that…he’s been such a great dude….I went to a couple playoff games his rookie year so you’re not gonna find another guy more happier for him than I am. I know he wants more & we all want more.”
