Good Morning Locals! 🌞 Happy Saturday Refugees, Triggeratti, Phamily and Digital Neighbors! Hey there Dawn Patrol, Early Birds, Fascinating People, Later Dayers, Day Walkers, Conversants, Lurkers and New Arrivals on these islands of sanity and laughter.
Saturday morning musing. I think it is the most common tool used by my favorite group of elite authoritarians, The Cabal. For those not familiar with some of my morning rants, the Cabal is that cultural conglomerate of MSM (Enemedia), Academia, Big Tech, Woker-tainment & DC Careerists across all parties supported by numerous three letter agencies designed to protect them, menace you and spread intimidating discouragement so you return to your diversions and distractions while passively accepting what they dictate. Don't ask too many questions, otherwise the gulaging of reality might get interrupted. What is their most common tool?
When you OTHER, you don't have to BOTHER.
It is there most common tool for keeping their herd together and to ensure good behavior. The worst group of OTHERs to belong to, Alt-Right, the lurking spirit of Nazism, that the CABAL is battling on our behalf. Apparently if you just scratch a questioning soul, a slightly disagreeable chap or lady, you will find a Alt-Righter just waiting to be born. Your favorite podcaster who questions the narrative, Alt-Righter. That person you once thought well rounded, perhaps enlightened or at least questioning and curious, Alt-Righter in disguise. Like damn cockroaches, just wait till the lights go out. 👀
OTHERing is not a tool solely of the CABAL, anyone can use it, and we should be careful when we readily adopt OTHERing as means of dismissal. The appeal of OTHERing, quick and convenient, it takes minimal time and thought. OTHERing makes us inherently feel superior. OTHERing doesn't get caught up in nuance, ask questions, propose doubt, or even self-question, rinse-wash-repeat with your mantras. When you OTHER, you don't have to BOTHER.
The BOTHERING is really what it is all about. Happy Saturday friends, these havens of bothering are worth our time and support. Those persons who buck the system, question the narrative, ask the questions are worth our attention and interest. The divisions of Left-Center-Right are secondary to those who readily use OTHERing to silence and dismiss disagreement.
Meanwhile - apart from our quibbles and questions - Montana has mountains. Happy Saturday my friends.
Today marks the three hundred and thirtieth birthday of the Frenchman François-Marie Arouet, better known by his nom de plume, Voltaire (1694-1778).
Born into a bourgeois family during the reign of Louis XIV, the “Sun King” (r. 1643-1715), Voltaire suffered tragedy at a young age when his mother died. Never close with his father or brother, Voltaire exhibited a rebellious attitude toward authority from his youth. His brilliant mind was fostered in the care of the Society of Jesus, who introduced him to the joys of literature and theater. Despite his later criticisms against the Church, Voltaire, throughout his life, fondly recalled his dedicated Jesuit teachers.
Although he spent time as a civil servant in the French embassy to the Hague, Voltaire’s main love was writing—an endeavor where he excelled in various genres, including poetry, which led to his appointment as the royal court poet for King Louis XV. Widely recognized as one of the greatest French writers, and even hyperbolically referred to by ...

Happy Friday, Digital Neighbors!! Slept in a little this morning. Woke up at my ordinary time, hit the hour timer, and wandered back into short, incoherent dreamland. It was a good hour to try and get a little more rest after a long day yesterday. We had a good staff team-building day with personal prayer and then looking at the DISC tool as a way to appreciate our gifts as we work together for the good of our parish family.
Had a meeting in the evening to explore using our auditorium for an Emergency Overnight Shelter in the winter for the homeless and unhoused in our local area. Lots of potential, lots of work if that is to come to fruition. As I mentioned last night, this is where the rubber hits the road on personal charity. People feel comfortable giving money to support charities, but the possibility of hosting and staffing one is way out of the comfort zone for most. Prayer and time will tell.
Off to some “ifferisms” for your Friday cup of Joe.
If you get gloomy, just take an ...
The Beautiful
Said the Disciple to the Lover, “Sir, before I left the world I heard certain men who were held in high esteem and thought to know the will of the Beloved say that those who loved the Beautiful did not love the Beloved but loved idols, yet in the Garden of the Beloved we are ever striving to create beauty for the pleasure of the Beloved. Were they then speaking the truth?”
The Lover answered, “Those who said this had never glimpsed the form of the Beloved nor ever truly sought Him, for all beauty is but the reflection of the beauty of the Beloved, although seen very dimly as in a dark and faulty mirror, even as all goodness is a dim reflection of the goodness of the Beloved. So it is that those who love beauty and goodness recognize dimly in them the form of the Beloved and though often in ignorance those who are seeking the Beautiful and the Good are seeking after the Beloved.”
