I've finished my latest newspaper/data project! "When's the big day?": The days and times of Catholic wedding masses, 1871-1960 I looked at over 3,000 articles across 30 American Catholic newspapers to tabulate what day of the week and time of day people had their wedding masses. Link below!

“I believe that science derives its authority from something more than mastering the pipeline from data generation to publication.” Great read!

The Ship of Theseus asks a deceptively simple question: If every plank of a ship is eventually replaced, is it still the same ship? C. Brandon Ogbunu sees a version of that problem emerging in science as AI takes over more of the research process, one task at a time. How much can be automated before something essential changes? 🔗: undark.org/2026/09/25/opinio…

Emily and Lorelai were complex, flawed characters which the show does a great job of showcasing, as people have said. Rory is the true asshole of the show and Emily and Lorelai share the blame with the entire town for coddling and spoiling her all her life. Mitchum was RIGHT

thanks to Usuarium and the conspectus view, I can see where the wedding ceremonies were in the context of each liturgical book it is very funny to see what some missals put right after the wedding mass. Someone in the scriptorium murmuring, "That's the mass for marriage sorted. Beautiful. What does that remind me of...ah yes. Plague."

On this Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, here is an old thread of mine showing Our Lady's Seven Sorrows. I've also written about the devotion in the context of medieval German song here: scholarlypublishingcollectiv… Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

One of my ongoing projects is collecting photographs of Catholic weddings pre-1969. (Why? Because it’s FUN.) I’ve added my latest batch, bringing the number of photographed weddings from 19 to 26!! sharonkabel.com/vintage-phot…

I don't understand why more people don't find it viscerally awful to live in a world where all text, images, and music are no longer produced by human beings. This is an existential change that causes me sorrow every waking moment.

Manuscript miniature of Our Lady of Sorrows. The Virgin sits in the centre, and seven swords pierce her heart. Seven roundels surround her, each depicting one of her sorrows.

Thus we can see that, while not mandatory or universally and officially required by the liturgical books, there were local and organic customs which involved the laity saying the Our Father with the priest in Latin or concurrently with him in English... long before Vatican II

Even Dom Gaspar Lefebvre's hand missal for children, first published in 1929 and remaining in print until at least 1948, did likewise:
