Nice holiday weekend. I saw fireworks with a friend and drank gratuitous amounts of coffee. This post does a great job of representing my interests— Bermuda, Disney (before Eisner and Iger), Brompton, History, and Catholicism (Monasticism).

(1) How Disney Propaganda Shaped Life on the Home Front During WWII (Smithsonian Magazine)

(1a) American the Beautiful Poster Concepts (1960s):

(1b) Mary Blair: Mid-Century Magic (The Disney Family Museum)

(2) The days when brands make fans are over. Now, the fans make the brand. (The MAEIL Business Newspaper)

(3) Monasticism to the Rescue (The Imaginative Conservative)

“The plan to renew the Church was to encourage the monks to set up monasteries in the West on the edges of civilization or sometimes even in towns, to act like beacons of light to enlighten a secular world that was forgetting its origins.”

(3a) Liturgical Transformation in Christ (The Catholic Thing)

“The widespread celebration of the TLM encourages priests to reinforce and incorporate many of the reverent gestures of the TLM into the Novus Ordo.”
