Bishops doubling down

young pope leo looks like a ska scene regular who goes by Upbeat but no one knows his real name

If the hardcore bands guitarist looks like this, you’re gonna die in that pit

I like to imagine that Zohran Mamdani, Socialist African-born Muslim, was literally willed into existence by the collective psychosis of the Tea Party GOP over Obama, like the ectoplasm under NYC in Ghostbusters II

the oil shocks of the 1970s predate social media, the internet, cable television, media conglomeration, deregulation, and wealth distribution was much healthier. historical comparison and analogy can only go so far. the American consumer and economy of today are fundamentally different 50 years on.

this bit is officially retired. it’s been a good run.

Pope Leo: "The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants, yet it is held together by a multitude of supportive brothers and sisters.”

the good news is the only ppl who’d claim this about Thomas are ppl you’d never trust anyway

this is normal for Seatt-… hold on I’m being handed a meteorology textbook and……………. oh….. oh dear

not a ton of things I can think of that would kill AAPL and MSFT but this is up there

The irony of this initiative is that Harvard’s Department of Government was the academic hub of the first generation of neoconservatives and Harvey Mansfield alone has probably produced more conservative undergrad and grad students than all Marxist faculty at Harvard combined.

this is partly a reflection of our inability to tax billionaires. sovereign debt is an important aspect of international finance that predates capitalism but the inability to control deficits, the unwillingness to raise revenue, and 15 years of free money has created a very precarious position

seriously did Matt Damon and Gerard Butler have a kid?

I for one appreciate Hungarian President Matt Damon for bringing this to light

Péter Magyar, who unseated Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Sunday in a landslide, shared a bombshell with reporters that the outgoing leader had diverted taxpayer funds to bankroll the American Conservative Political Action Conference. trib.al/ct7GGV3

two of my most problematic woulds are fighting

WCW was pulling bigger crowds in 1992 older wrestling fans of old wrestling know how sick of a burn this is

Kirk refused to go out to a tiny crowd but they made JD do it lmao

today was Yom HaShoah.

this gets said a lot but we owe the 30-50 feral hogs lady an apology

dear poaster, I clicked the heart to like your skeet. I then accidentally clicked it again, thus unliking it. please accept my apology. I have clicked it thricely as I did enjoy the random misfiring of your TV-pilled, anti-anxiety meds-addled brain. sincerely, ricky cilantro (dictated not read)

She's 22 by the way. Everybody tell her she's doing a very good job being alive

it's hard to get retractions to stick because you can't un-have an emotion. a lot of people developed angry feelings for Chappell Roan over this, and now that they know she didn't actually do it they're even MORE angry at her because they resent being told they repeated wrong information

Re: vibecession one factor for me is feeling cheated paying federal taxes. I'm paying a higher rate than every billionaire to fund a gov't that does far less good, and far more harm, than it used to—while running a bigger deficit. I'll pay for USAID, make the billionaires pay for their fascist shit.

we were men and women of legend unseen since the days of the watchers

I know that on any given day it doesn’t feel like it but we’re winning.

The same week the NYTimes was devoting its significant resources to producing this ridiculous piece about Lauren Sanchez Bezos's call for rich people to not worry and be happy, Ryan Hass, an independent journalist in Oregon, was investigating this horrifying story about a death in an Amazon plant.

Ramsey County is investigating five cases of potential crimes by federal officials during Operation Metro Surge — including kidnapping, burglary and false imprisonment.

Same goes for every "genius" academic or scholar.

Average GOP policy outcome

A Texas Tech University law student is suing university leaders and faculty, arguing they violated her free speech rights by disciplining her over comments about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Damn, I love risotto.

“I do worry about our vulnerability here to hurricanes, and not just Beryl-type storms—much bigger storms,” Matt Lanza explained. https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/matt-lanza-leaving-houston/

I genuinely love this. Astronauts, like kids, know that you do not leave your stuffies behind.

who is Jorginho Frello guy looks softer than a fkn cupcake

this is why Al Gore invented the internet. I remember. I was there.

incredible

as a progressive Jew, I accept the historicity of Jesus, although I reject his divine nature etc. He was a pretty boilerplate apocalyptic preacher for the late 2nd Temple period. so I’m not typically offended by, let’s say non-canonical depictions of Jesus however this is idolatry straight up

Hungary under Orbán was not a classic fascist or monarchical regime. It was a species of what political scientists call "competitive authoritarianism" — where elections are generally free, meaning not formally rigged, but held under extremely unfair conditions.
