Good Golly Miss ONT!

Welcome to Thursday! I know Ace usually covers the entertainments stuff, but I have to tell you I'm quite excited for the new Barbie/Oppenheimer crossover movie.

Maps!

I love maps. There's some interesting ones in here.

Maps That Show How The World Really Is

Here's an interesting one. The states resized to reflect their relative population density.

Bishop In The News

I've mentioned Bishop Strickland before. Well, it seems that standing for the teachings of Christ rather than going along with worldly heresy in an attempt to be popular (current church policy) garners you attention from said church officials.

Apostolic visitation completed in Tyler diocese

The Vatican’s Dicastery for Bishops has undertaken an apostolic visitation to the Diocese of Tyler, Texas, whose Bishop Joseph Strickland has been in recent weeks the subject of controversy in the Church.

Several sources in the Tyler diocese confirmed the visitation to The Pillar on Saturday, after rumors surfaced on social media, and the visitation was reported on the Church Militant website.
An apostolic visitation is an official review of diocesan leadership and governance, usually convened at the behest of a Vatican congregation.

One priest interviewed said the visitation’s questions focused on Strickland’s administrative leadership in the diocese, rather than on his outsized social media personality.

“It was not even primarily about his ‘rants’ about Pope Francis,” said the priest, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the record.

Uh-huh. Sure it's not. In any event, like the emperor in Star Wars, attempts to strike him down are only making him stronger. Believe it or not, I found this on a secular meme site:

The more they squabble at him, the higher his profile gets, and the more people hear his message demanding adherence to the tenets of the Catholic faith.

Tonight's Game: Curse You!

OK, tonight's game is this. What's the worse harmless but annoying thing you could curse someone with? Like having the muzak in stores you visit always be Tom Jones or always knowing exactly how many people on the planet were having sex at any given moment (if you really want to take it to another level add “and with what” ). Now you: What's your curse?

Gary Plauché. The man, the myth, the legend (Warning: Graphic)

If you don't know the story, Gary's son was abducted and molested by a trusted family friend. As the pedophile was being extradited back to Louisiana, Gary went to the airport and pretended to be making a phone call. When the pedo was being walked past, Gary, turned, raised a weapon and arraigned for the pedo to meet God sooner than he had planned. He was given probation and community service, and lived out a normal life. Well done, Gary.

Commendable restraint by the arresting officers that they didn't. I would have.
