In light of everything heavy, I will share something silly.

We have been making theater props lately, the biggest being a corn field. My house was covered in corn stalks I made from pvc, wire, and masking tape.

So our son decided Cornelius J. Cornwall should reside in his natural habitat.

I hope you find some silly things to laugh about today.

Super cool how we as humans have had a clean, safe, and near infinite way of producing energy for literal decades but we’re just politely ignoring that so people can fear monger about muh fossil fuels and force ineffective, expensive, and not actually green green energy on us

This is the biggest reason I think it's safe to say we did go to the moon. The soviets had spies everywhere and would know that we didn't go. And then they'd have a field day exposing the the world to the lies of the "capitalist American pigs". They wouldn't lay down and give up on the space race

If the moon landing was faked, why wouldn't Russia have called the US out on it?

Because they didn’t want to jeopardize Trump’s presidency. Duh.

Tragic. Tumblr user made a good point but was unnecessarily condescending about it. Will not be reblogging

what he means: my first girlfriend sacrificed herself for the good of her people, and she didn't think twice about it. i saw firsthand what it meant to truly protect those you love, and in that moment i also experienced what it meant to be loved enough to be protected. but i wasn't ready. i didn't have enough time to say goodbye. she was gone before she fell back to me, and i knew it even before i looked for a pulse that wasn't there. she was heavy, until she wasn't, because i saw death happen in a way i never thought it could when her body vanished from my arms. i now know what it feels like to kiss a spirit, and it's the last touch i have of her. she sacrificed herself because she believed it was her duty, an expectation she felt she needed to face, and it should never have happened. but she got dragged into a war that we brought to her home. there was nothing i could do to protect her from its devastation, and i blame myself for her death.

what he says: my first girlfriend turned into the moon

I simply think that it's rude and off limits to criticise other people's appearance. And honestly if I hear any of you doing this my opinion of your maturity level lowers proportionately.

"Even when it slots into a political ideology of mine?" ESPECIALLY NOT THEN.

"But what if it's a sign of oppression-" no.

"But the decline of the appreciation of beauty-" NO.

"But bad people-" n.o.

"But their health-" not your problem.

If you are thinking of an exception this post is about you

I recently picked up a new (to me) game, called Vintage Story, and it's been kind of insightful.

If you've not heard of it, it's similar to minecraft in many ways. It's basically the Terrafirmacraft mod made into its own game with some of its own new mechanics, and interesting world lore.

The main premise is you start with nothing in a wild world and have to survive and progress through levels of technology.

The insightful part for me is really understanding why and how humans evolved to be such a social species. I played for a few days in singleplayer and only just entered the copper age, living in a little log shack, with a small garden I was trying to maintain. I'd never hunted anything bigger than a boar (and the boars in this game are rather small, not the huge ones).

Then I started multiplayer with ONE other person... and the difference is insane. We have a two-story brick and cobblestone house with a cellar, a garden at least twice the size, we're got lots of copper stuff, we've already started making winter clothes and we're still in May, and we've hunted down wolves and deer (cut to me chasing a deer with a knife after running out of arrows and breaking all my spears while yakety sax plays).

The inclusion of just ONE person made SUCH a difference.

Ok technically there's three of us but one guy joined late and wasn't on very long. This was us discovering that if you sit on the edge of a block your legs will hang over it instead of being crossed.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on the federal death penalty Jan. 20, among the first actions of his second term, directing the attorney general to “pursue the death penalty for all crimes of a severity demanding its use,” prompting statements of concern from Catholic opponents of the practice.

...

The death penalty order was among those Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and head of the U.S. Archdiocese for the Military Services, called “deeply troubling” in a Jan. 22 statement about Trump’s first batch of executive orders in his second term.

...

Krisanne Vaillancourt Murphy, executive director of Catholic Mobilizing Network, a group that advocates for the abolition of capital punishment in line with Catholic teaching, said in a statement Trump’s executive order on the death penalty “makes no sense." “What we know about the death penalty is that it does not deter crime or make communities safer,” Vaillancourt Murphy said. “It’s immoral, flawed and risky, arbitrary and unfair, cruel and dehumanizing. Both the state and federal death penalty systems are broken beyond repair, and emblematic of a throwaway culture.”

...

The Catholic Church’s official magisterium opposes the use of the death penalty as inconsistent with the inherent sanctity of human life, and advocates for the abolition of the practice worldwide. In his 2020 encyclical “Fratelli Tutti,” Pope Francis addressed the moral problem of capital punishment by citing St. John Paul II, writing that his predecessor “stated clearly and firmly that the death penalty is inadequate from a moral standpoint and no longer necessary from that of penal justice.”

“There can be no stepping back from this position,” Pope Francis wrote. Echoing the teaching he clarified in his 2018 revision of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the pontiff said, “Today we state clearly that ‘the death penalty is inadmissible’ and the church is firmly committed to calling for its abolition worldwide.”

Pope Francis on Jan. 9 in his annual audience for members of the diplomatic corps, also said the death penalty “finds no justification today among the instruments capable of restoring justice.”
