Greetings ADD Irregulars!!! In 2026, I want to add a new feature to our weekday Coffee Talks: White Pilled Wednesday. This will be one day each week where we take a deliberate break from the news cycle. We’ll step back from the political side of X (or wherever you get your news) to talk about things that are more personal and positive.
2026 already looks to be a crazy year — and we’re only in the first week, with Venezuela, Iran, and all the drama in DC. I’m looking forward to all the posts we’ll share on the state of reality, but it’s important to have a healthy respite from it. That’s why I’m introducing White Pilled Wednesday. While I may be less consistent on my attendance, I will make it a point to be here to host on Wednesday morning for the first hour.
White Pilled Wednesday: Talk about your favorite hobby, books you’ve read, music you like, nature, your favorite sport or pastime. Share favorite memories or whatever feels good — just keep it personal and positive in our intentional conversations for that morning. I know there might be BIG breaking news overnight on Tuesday or something bubbling up on Wednesday morning, but it will still be there on Thursday (or later in the day on Wednesday). Let me know what you think in the comments. - Padre

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 ...
