CATHOLIC GUILT FOR TRUMP: THE HOLY WATER JUST BOILED OVER
The bishops finally found their voices again. Not the soft indoor-voice homilies that float above parish pews like incense, but something closer to a raised eyebrow from God.

From Aloy to All-In: When Horizon Goes MMO and Mobile—and the Monsters Charge
I have a confession to make: I love MMOs.

THE FORTY DAY SHUTDOWN THAT TAUGHT US NOTHING EXCEPT HOW FAST A SPINE CAN DISSOLVE
There is a particular kind of exhaustion that settles into the bones after a shutdown. Not the temporary kind that passes with a nap and a glass of water. The deeper kind. The kind that feels like a national hangover where the entire country wakes up at once and asks the same question in chorus:
