Our first line of defense against tyranny is historians, scholars, teachers, and librarians. We’ve seen an active effort to dissuade students from the humanities because those roles are threats to the powers that be. A well-read population will not easily surrender its freedoms.

Cold applesauce (or other cold ingredients) can make the shortening too cold to integrate properly with everything else. No matter how tiny the shortening wads are, they're not actually mixed in

A few have already mentioned in the replies that it's a throwback to his father and/or the 50s/60s. I'm backing the latter theory, also possibly a RETVRN-style signaling that "when the ties were narrow men were men and women, POC, and gays knew their place" 🙄

RC weekday homily to a community of monks. 45 seconds talking about how terrible the Hasmoneans were, followed by 1 minute of slut shaming Herodias. That was it, no conclusion or anything. The community took down the recording, or I'd share it here

I learned in library school that in the early 2000s Saudi Arabia tried to ban all porn sites by censoring "ass." I guess it eliminated a lot of porn, but also every website with the word "association," "assistant," etc., etc.

Pretty sure the 1940s, because the DoD realized millions of Americans were too malnourished to be drafted so they introduced gov't subsidized school lunch. Huh, when the gov't ensures ppl have nutritious food to eat (instead of cutting SNAP, etc.), ppl get healthier, who knew!

“Parents rights” is like “States rights” in that if they say what they’d like the right to do they sound like the ghouls they are. Parents’ rights is about the right to withhold life-saving medication from children and/or the right to hit children.

[Disclaimer that I don't have an eating disorder, ymmv]
I want to acknowledge the above & hold it in tension: when I fast (even from just 1 meal a week), I notice a clear improvement in my patience. This doesn't happen for me with any other Lenten observance. Fasting can involve "doing in the world"
