The Pope is being too preachy about "turning the other cheek" and maybe soon "millionaires will not get into heaven," so we've declared it's ok for our rapey idol, who just posted an image of himself as Jesus, to attack him

What, your doctors DON'T wear red shawls over their lab coats and heal you with glowing hands? Peasants!

It's the 7th month of the US bombing random ships in Latin American waters they claim are drug smugglers (reminder that two survivors who were rescued were repatriated, not charged), and the death toll is 150+, and it barely gets discussed.

The archangel thing is weird, but i also thinks it's odd that the only other notable difference is the color of the nurse's eyes... what the heck were the goals of the person who remade this?

How many traditional Catholics do we think are currently incensed by being categorized as far left?

Why are all these people so incredibly dumb? How do they refuse to learn the lesson that arguing with a person whose goal is to spread mis- and disinformation is counterproductive? Not all speech is equal, and those who aren't bound by truth would NEVER be platformed

So... the world is just going to accept the US as a global pirate force? Murdering Latin American fishermen in the Pacific and Caribbean and boarding shipping vessels in the Indian Ocean and Arabian and Caribbean Seas with total impunity?

Threatening the pope, losing to Persia and presiding over economic decline- Welcome back Emperor Valerian!!

😭 this slow merging of the Cons and the Libs is maddening...

We understood those changes and decided, in response, to deepen our ties with Palantir (which is owned by the VP's personal mentor and political patron), fully buy in on the technologies the fascists in charge are building, and follow their social policies and deploy them against our own people? 😬

So the Trump administration’s two goals in peace talks with Iran are: 1. A commitment by Iran not to develop a nuke (This was part of the Obama deal that Trump canceled) 2. Opening the Strait of Hormuz. (Was open before war.)

This man's a banker, right? And the most devastating events in banking are supposedly "black swans." Vanishingly rare outliers, ok? And yet he thinks that our economy and our whole society can be saved if we outsource our jobs to the "most-statistically-likely" roulette? Like outliers never happen?

Concluded marathon negotiations with the teen where she demanded $100 for Sephora and I said no So she yelled unless I gave her $200 for Sephora, she'd go to her room and leave me in peace all day I said OK, and she stormed off shouting "I've won and you've got no leverage"

The literal thing I miss most about living in Toronto

i don’t want my appliances to be smart or connect to the internet. i want them to do one mechanical task for 100 years

These guys are out here calling a sprint a marathon and the media is swallowing it up and regurgitating it at us without the slightest bit of shame. My last job offer negotiations apparently took about half the time these guys are willing to give a peace deal that could crash the world economy

I can't reply to this, but i would like to see the distribution of this rather than the median. We all know the richest people are taking an ever larger piece of the pie, so the distribution must be crazy if the median is also higher.

Journalists with even a modicum of morals in his press conferences have got to get ahead of this by putting him in a position where he's got to choose to either publicly disown Trump or align himself with this war. You KNOW he's going to flip-flop, so get him on the record now.

A 1200+ year climate record is at risk. Do you know know anyone in Japan who could help? See below.

Aww, it's so nice to see gal pals in the wild, palling around with a shared cat, like one does.

The man who couldn’t convince the President not to start what may be the stupidest war in history is definitely the guy to negotiate this.

i will never forget how elon musk said absolutely nothing at all about the NASA artemis ii mission except one post making fun of that women who took the photo of the launch in the reflection of her glasses. he hates space

Everyone being so negative about this, like there's any world where teenagers break rules and do risky things unsupervised which would be less risky under supervision... /s

There’s actually been a fairly robust response in the federal biotherapeutics/biomanufacturing strategy has resulted in at least two manufacturing facilities for mRNA in Canada, as well as funding for several programs. It’s likely a bit less than US$500 million but not by far.

Pope Leo has done an incredible job in getting me to seriously consider going back to the Catholic Church, but Jesus F'ing Christ, man... the Catholic Church is, by FAR, the richest religious entity in the world, and until not so long ago, was in fact the richest entity. This is some HYPOCRISY!

Has anything in the history of the world been rethought or canceled because girls or women “couldn’t see themselves in it”?

There's always some dude who is like "Well, the right got Kavanaugh so why can't we have--" BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT OUR OWN FUCKING KAVANAUGH, ZERO KAVANAUGHS IS ENOUGH KAVANAUGHS.

You need diversity in government. And lots of different kinds of expertise. That's why I got rid of most women in my cabinet!

With his emphasis on low IQ as an insult, I become more convinced every day he must have taken an IQ test at some point and scored HORRIBLY!

Oh man... whatever's coming out must be extremely gross.

was that Melania speech one of Iran’s demands

I know that this is most likely simply an ESL error and I shouldn't make fun of it, but calling her note to Maxwell a "tribal note" (instead of trivial) is top-notch comedy. Yes, tell us more about how you are part of her tribe, girl! (Also, had I never heard her speak before? Her voice is WEIRD!)

As someone just getting out of a year-plus long bout of burnout, I can attest to how important it is to have things that sustain you to prevent (and recover from) burnout. The toxic jerks around you rely on you getting too tired to fight. Don't let them win! Find your joy and practice regularly!

Gotta remember that Stephen Harper is the President of an organization built to really help these guys build their international right-wing networks and use each others' underhanded tactics and bullshit culture wars to get elected. Some of those members: - Orbán - Netanyahu - the GOP/Trump - Modi

Of course not! Why would we sanction the genocidal country massacring and illegally occupying their neighbours? It's not like we have built an international reputation on being peacekeepers or anything...

This list is freaking depressing, and a good reminder that "the lesser evil" is, by definition, still evil.

I mean, in all fairness to Hassett, absolutely no one will ever make him face his lies when they're proven to be so, so... why shouldn't he lie? The media love it, his boss loves it, the dumbass markets love it, and no one actually pays a price for these lies!

3/ Canada must bring sanctions against Israel, cancel the Canada-Israel free trade agreement, implement a real two-way arms embargo, and use every diplomatic and economic tool at our disposal to rein in Israel.

Israel keeps ignoring ceasefires and journalists keep describing the situation as the ceasefire potentially in the future maybe ending, instead of having already obviously ended due to Israel continuing to murder people.

Everything about this is gross, but my brain got caught in "the "Shootin' Starts."" What the hell, man? What are these quotation marks doing there, exactly? What is their purpose and how should those of us who aren't fluent in "mashed potato brain" speak interpret them?

Well, that sounds totally fine... it's not like anyone in the US flies or anything, right? /s

Every country in the world needs to learn from Hong Kong, please

Well, THAT worked out, huh?

Not the most important thing by a freaking mile, but I truly resent the Trump and Netanyahu administrations for putting me firmly on the side of Iran. Like... all of you are freaking authoritarian, misogynistic, genocidal maniacs, and in a just world, none of you would have an iota of power and yet

“We are seeing more evidence every day that Mark Carney is a conservative, and that there are now two conservative parties in the House of Commons.” Read my full statement on MP Gladu’s floor crossing here: www.ndp.ca/news/ndp-sta...

Oh hells yeah. Take your blasphemic asses and get out of here, you guys barely go here! (Ok, I also barely go here anymore, but this pope is like... this close to getting me to go back to church, so...) Martin Luther was less of an assholes than these US trad caths are

@safehourberlin.bsky.social do you know if anything like you exists in Munich?

I believe this. And further, I believe that countries can legitimately get smaller, as those living in them decide they don't really have much in common with that other bit and would like to separate, but under almost no circumstances can they legitimately expand. Not Israel, not Russia, not the US
