A man caged by ICE was found dead in his cell inside a Long Island jail 18 hours after arriving there.

we need a new encyclical on the americanist heresy like plants need sunlight

From the perspective of Catholic dogma this is literally unambiguously heresy and if we still enforced the canons of the Council of Trent as written one could be excommunicated for publicly teaching this

CANON X.-If any one saith, that the marriage state is to be placed above the state of virginity, or of celibacy, and that it is not better and more blessed to remain in virginity, or in celibacy, than to be united in matrimony; let him be anathema. Council of Trent

The GOP canonizes Kirk as a culture war martyr and sells grief for clicks. Gaza burns, children starve under relentless bombing. The GOP, Turning Point, and white Christian nationalists have enabled Israel’s genocide.

pope leo needs to use the "star wars hack" to determine whether to crack down on someone. jedi master tolan dimothy tells the alien-majority council that the human cultist guy who wanted all the aliens dead was a new biel ductavis, because oure moste humaine emperour said so

"There is nothing more frightening and hopeless than Christian politics carried out by pagan hands in the name of Christian norms, laws, and programs." Fedor Stepun (1884–1965): Khristianskaia politika, 1933

A few years ago there was a brief news story that the same Jewish community had reopened the case and debated whether the excommunication should stand (because now he was an Important Dutch person) They decided that it would, which seems to be what he would have been happy with.

The mind is its own place, and in itself can make an Atlantic group-chat of Hell, a Hell of an Atlantic group-chat

22-year-old Ward Sakeik, a Palestinian woman who has lived in Texas since she was 9, says her experience in federal detainment could only be identified as “human trafficking.” And she’s not staying quiet about the women she was forced to leave behind. thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/22/w...

they're saying spinoza was canceled for being d*tch

You shouldn’t do any ritual, God isn’t listening, says Spinoza to a pre-modern Jewish community, expecting applause for his helpful, if unexpected, advice

also this is pretty much always what happened in these cases, not the religion freaking out disproportionately to its principles (not a moral evaluation)

it's also like, presenting spinoza and his excommunication as this amazing historical knowledge when, sorry, i am pretty sure we are all aware of at least one guy who was tried for heresy from judaism that people constantly say was "canceled" when they want to prove a point

leaving a religion and being formally excommunicated says really nothing about whether you're a good or bad person, rigorous or unrigorous thinker, progressive or reactionary, etc. it has no stable core meaning other than your willingness to submit to formal excommunication for your beliefs

i do not think being expelled from a religion for being a heretic or apostate has any analogy outside that exact experience actually. but it's cheap shit people constantly reach for in every situation

no i don't think contemporary cancellation is the same as Spinoza's life

Notice, #earlymodern #skystorians, the logo at the middle of the photo? The VOC (Dutch East India Company). All the more reason to reckon with the legacies of these companies and how they integrate (or don't) with shifting ideas of globalisation, integration, capitalism, and national identity.

Eugenics doesn't stop at who is born but also how they are born. The more 'natural' the birth, the more pure the offspring.

we need a dedicated actor who plays a cop who investigates wacky stuff (aliens, robots, fairies, steampunk monstrosities etc) like will smith was until bright

Might I suggest a slight change in your epic resistance pfp?

incredible news Tesla fam, everyone's favorite automaker has an innovative new accessibility service highlighting just how committed to the public good Elon Musk companies are: an in-app message that says "fuck off and take a bus, loser"! 🥰😇🙏😌 www.teslarati.com/tesla-workin...

evangelicals are gonna reinvent beatification from first principles for a kid who used to wear diapers on the quad

The maga/nyt split is that maga wants Francoist fascism with evangelical characteristics while the nyt finds this utterly distasteful because they want Salazarian fascism

told the spouse this one and he had a moment of self-awareness about his daily, obsessive fantasies of having the dangerous but cute animals he sees on instagram and tiktok as pets

extremely close to every tweet being "i hate jesse armstrong!!! i hate hilary mantel!!!! i hate the new york times!!!"

smugly putting another one in my “Ross is just aristo Dreher” evidence locker

If only the liberals were a bit more mindful of the social fabric, we would all be more unified in the regime's dismantling of it

i cannot properly express in words my hatred for the new york times

pope leo needs to revive the heresy of americanism from the last pope leo and smack dolan down with it

Barack Obama wore a tan suit and white people were talking about hanging that uppity negro from a tree for WEEKS. You literally had to be there to see the reaction. And now they talking about hosting a UFC fight on the south lawn. “Laughingstock?” This shit was ALWAYS a joke brother lmao

i think the lion in winter has a serious claim to being one of the top 5 worst historical fictions ever made

everyone always talks about how the catholic church has a monopoly on horror but in this sense horror is anti-catholic, evil is the absence of good and catholics often go to martyrdom sites not because they're haunted/cursed but to pay our respects to the people's goodness in resisting evil

I actually think it’s good when deeply offputting users have horrible AI avatars. its the 2025 version of this

pablo larraín's jackie o movie was fair game, the diana one was pushing it given that she did work with AIDS victims and do something of substance in the real world, the maria one was totally unfair since she actually had a great career in the arts other than looking hot and sad over men

i have this conspiratorial idea that (except the obamas) us presidents and their wives intentionally dress badly to meet the uk royal family to reassure the latter's sense of superiority and natural hierarchy. maybe not the trumps either since there's no proof they even can dress well

watchin grotesquerie because i miss her (paramount+ EVIL)
