okay on today’s episode of “Give Us Thia Day Our Daily Thread,” guys the official response from SSPX to their excommunication is fucking hilarious. absolute whiny baby shit “you are so mean and unfair, yet we heroically forgive you for it with our saintlike forbearance” girl please

An extraordinary show of strength. Remember, until very recently this would not have been possible. Francis prepared the political ground and backed a man who'd follow through.

From Belfast, human rights lawyer Sarah Kay has the story about the pogroms, the loyalist militias helping coordinate them, and the local resistance of which she is a vital part.

DRC did something really special today. Very impressive team performance. England needed the Harry Kane bailout to go through.

NEW: Most Supreme Court Rulings Are Secretive Votes With Little Justification ProPublica conducted a new analysis that shows the court is deciding more consequential rulings than ever before in largely unsigned orders with little to no explanation.

NEW: At the time of Alice Sebold’s rape, the system was broken in Syracuse. Police brushed off rapes. Prosecutors bungled confessions. Judges overlooked irregularities. The university seemed more intent on suppressing news of a rape epidemic than solving it.

this is cool. my mom is in the DAR and wrote a very thoughtful and moving letter in support of trans inclusion to her chapter a few years ago. good job mom and heck to her local nemesis who wanted to enforce genital inspections before joining an old lady’s genealogy club

My stupidest conspiracy theory is that the last world cup was fixed for Argentina (refereeing against the Netherlands was a farce) and this bracket is making me think it's happening again. Look at their draw!

I must know if Stephen root read that copy of shadow of the torturer. Stephen, tell me your theories, Stephen I need to know what you think about mystery and recursion

Just read that Akihiro Miwa, the great Japanese singer/actor/drag queen, passed away at 91. You might have known him as the voice of Moro the wolf goddess in Princess Mononoke.

it is truly perverse working in an industry in which some of the most respected outlets insist the illness many of their own colleagues have is not real

boy does this thread track with my experience in the medical system

we need thousands more of this guy and thousands less of the kinds of guys we do have

Same office that covered up prosecutor's crimes in the Broadview Six case just covered up a police shooting. Feds said a teen beat up a cop before he's shot. They have clear video evidence showing the kid just squirmed away from him. They hid it from the judge. Judge just set a sanctions hearing.

NEW: A trove of internal records from Dialog, the secret society cofounded by Peter Thiel, was left exposed online. WIRED obtained a second cache of records that reveal who's really attending, how they're screened, and what personal details they were promised would stay private.

1. Lead Left, a super PAC created on 4/24, purports to stand "against MAGA extremists." It has spent $3M+ in Democratic primaries. But it's funders and motivations have been secret. Until now. It's a GOP dirty tricks operation. 🧵

“Asking Burnham to outline his cogent political programme is like asking my cat, who came from a shelter near the Etihad, whether she supports Man City. You’re asking about something she has no interest in and that forms no part of her life.” #LabourLeadership manchestermill.co.uk/stop-looking...

Sure that's true. Deep squad of elite players. But it's really horrible to watch 90% of the time. Seen one or two good games but mostly horrid, especially with the constant moaning, play acting, and also I still haven't forgotten artera protecting known rapist partey

As well as its myriad factual errors, the book claims: - We're wasting taxpayer dollars on abused children - Trauma is the cause of autoimmune disorders - Most fat people were sexually abused as children. It's stunningly, shockingly bad! People should not be reading or recommending it.
