The captions on those photos of the twins: "...believe they are twins..."

Dammit ABC, they are twins. They've said as much.

Frankly I won't be impressed until they stop doing certain other things as well.

A friend of mine was at Francis' inauguration for work and brought me back (inexplicably) a Pope lighter, which has lived in the pocket of our stroller ever since, usually buried underneath a pile of napkins. Every so often it rises to the surface and I smile, because it's so silly.

Don’t steal puppies and don’t sell cigarettes to parishioners fall pretty much into “what do you want, a cookie?” territory. The others are sweet, though.

We miss you, Father Guido...

I wish Houston's climate wasn't so disagreeable. It seems like a pretty great place.

“if anyone has any nice allegations against a celebrity that would be great too.”
They didn't cite the multi-tweet thread about how Vincent Price was kind of amazing, but apparently Vincent Price was kind of amazing, which isn't something I had previously known.

Man, I am just such a sucker for stories involving friendships or kindnesses which develop between someone and their SO's exes.

One of the people I'm happiest to know has an ex in common with me, and that was how we met, while he and my ex boyfriend were dating. It was friendship at first sight, and it's always seemed to logical to me. I mean, your ex saw something of value in both you and this other person; is it any surprise you might be friends with them? It's just another reason to stay on good terms with your exes—you get to use them to vet future friends!

Unless a relationship ends truly badly, it always seems such a loss to give up the friendship just because you both realize you aren't compatible as romantic partners. So well done, lady. It warms the burnt out embers of my cold heart to see you helping your husband's ex like that. May you both be friends for years to come.

I just read this article on the CBC about a man who spends his evenings driving around in his minivan, picking up homeless people who need a ride to the shelter. Another man in a different town heard about what he was doing and is now donating money to cover his fuel expenses.

The Vatican is one of the most beautiful museums in the world.

And on top of Basilica San Pietro you can get a cold beer with the view.

The White House Tour could take notes, just saying...
