Midweek MACtion never fails

Crazy the political pundits have been totally silent on the biggest contest being decided tonight. Mid-week MACtion - Ohio University Bobcats vs the University of Akron Zips

Maybe the political ad spam during football games is a blessing in disguise because starting November 4 we return to our regularly scheduled Liberty Biberty programming (worse)

Absolutely devastated by yesterday’s tragic plane crash in Florida and the loss of all nine lives. I flew on that exact aircraft last month with those same two pilots. They were incredible professionals and genuinely wonderful people. Hearing the young woman’s story and learning about the bright future she had ahead of her makes it even more heartbreaking that her life was cut so short. 💔 My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to the grieving families and loved ones of everyone on board. A tragic reminder of how fragile life is. Love on your loved ones while you can, because you never know what tomorrow may bring.

Please join @bishopfernandes in congratulating newly ordained fathers Kennedy Ofezu and Anthony Whalen! We invite you to continue to pray for them as they receive an outpouring of grace from the Lord to live their vocation well. #DioceseofColumbus

Pope Leo XIV to the student athletes of Villanova University and the University of Notre Dame: “No one is born a champion, just as no one is born a saint. Rather, holiness requires a daily training in love. In this regard, Christians are called to run in the race of life, but the objective of winning an imperishable crown of glory. I pray that the activities, which comprise your pilgrimage, especially your business, the tombs of the apostles, who gave their lives in defence of the faith, will serve as a reminder that our true goal, beyond emerging victorious in any one event, is to win the prize of everlasting life.” Video of the Pope’s remarks in full here:

You can pry Tommy Thrall and the Cowboy on 700 WLW from my cold dead hands.

"We're very excited, we're very proud of him." @brookechesney talked with the Dominican Sisters who spent time teaching Jared Goff at Marin Catholic High School.

most of the R ticket is here, minus Sen. Jon Husted and Secretary of State Frank LaRose. LaRose is running for auditor (and my colleague, @joingles, is with him for an Election Night briefing in his official role)

Pope Leo: “We live in a performance-driven culture that constantly compares and ranks people, sometimes ruthlessly” and a “misguided understanding of meritocracy ultimately fails to respect people.” vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/…

Nothing stops #MACtion

Trump's remarks on Husted's ass the butt of international jokes dispatch.com/story/news/poli…
