I so often feel overwhelmingly grateful that I grew up around books. Reading was all around me; I just took it for granted. I have no doubt that having books around and seeing the adults in my life read contributed a great deal to my own love of reading and learning.

A delightful book of verse by @ksm_wilson (also a fellow @redtorystandard contributor). Perhaps if more clergy were hit by buses for skipping mattins, we laymen would not suspect that they neglect to say their *daily* office. In all seriousness, Kieran is a talented writer.

You can seek to sit on a Lotus Throne or share a Lotus Flower, everything else is kind of bullshit. 🪷

Australian officials have issued a reminder to shut your car doors after one wombat helped himself to several passenger seats. The notice followed complaints from visitors at a popular picnic area, where the same wombat reportedly kept climbing into parked cars while people unloaded bags or packed up lunch. At first, staff thought they were receiving several calls about one incident. Then they realized the cars were different. The passenger wasn’t. One couple waited nearly an hour before he climbed out. Another visitor said he settled into the seat before she’d even finished putting her things in the boot. Officials asked visitors to keep their doors closed and contact staff if they found an unexpected occupant. After the photos spread online, a park spokesperson clarified the situation. “He hasn’t been abandoned. He lives here. Please stop calling to say someone’s left their wombat in a car.”

DEVS (2020) is gloriously weird. Alex Garland takes quantum computing & the question of free will, then turns them into a Silicon Valley fever dream. Nick Offerman running a secretive tech cult inside a floating cube is something you don’t see every day.
What are the most underrated TV shows, the ones that no-one ever seems to talk about, but you love?

"Gay financier holds secret meeting with Freemasons to undermine the Catholic Church" nobody in this situation is beating the allegations
NEW: In leaked recordings, Peter Thiel argued that Nashville should be a moral alternative to Pope Leo XIV and the Catholic Church, which he called “a dubious ally” against a hypothetical future Antichrist Democratic president. “America is the last and final form of the Roman Empire,” Thiel told a closed-door crowd in Nashville’s Masonic Temple. “There is no successor.” He has attacked Pope Leo XIV at least four times this year, once calling him “a useful idiot for the CCP.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-…
