bizarre way to phrase it

😂💯

this is EXACTLY what the April interview with the head of the Lefebvrists is saying

LITERALLY THIS IS THE THEME OF THE WHOLE LETTER Dear baby Jesus please let Chicago Pope issue a rebuttal to the rebuttal let’s see how long we can keep this going

facing this without revolt but very definitely revolting (HAR) by schisming.

the unmitigated GALL

is it just me or does the “actually we’re the REAL Christians and it’s the Pope who has strayed” have a decidedly Protestant air to it?

the hilarious thing is that despite rejecting Vatican II entirely, they can't get here at all without Vatican II's emphasis on the primacy of conscience!!!!

Just generally the mainstream press seem to regard literally genocidal ambitions as merely an interesting point of view

Icon.

De-Trumpification MUST happen in the next administration.

he’s not at the absolute top of the list but bill pulte is pretty high up when it comes to people who need to go directly to jail in the next admin

would be funnier if the bottomless financial fraud wasn't bone-grafted to the U.S. economy

Systematically dismantling the Republic.

It is seriously alarming how many of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people are just screamingly mentally unwell in deeply toxic, dangerous ways.

This, sadly, works.

the unlawful, bipartisan restrictions on asylum seekers are shameful & anti-american. this is true leadership— and the contrast between mamdani and the other democratic leaders could not be more clear.

My country, right or wrong: if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.

yeah I’ve got the RSVP right here. look I’m happy to make sure the caterers know about your dietary restrictions but I need something for the personalized place cards that isn’t “jack sprat’s reciprocally-picky unnamed wife”

These are the same readers who flag a book on Amazon for typos when it's just British spelling 🙈

Fascinating look into one of the pillars of the rationalist/Effective Altruist community. Also, pro-tip: if you’re in an organization that seems cult-like, and they assert they aren’t a cult based on “a classic YouTube video”…you are absolutely in a cult.

This is extremely my shit.

“lost $33K on a stupid Trump memecoin scheme and blames Democrats for it” I think we did it team, I think we found Peak MAGA Guy

I’ve legit never heard the second half and am memorizing it for the next time the quote is Weaponized in my direction.

People only ever use the first half of the quote: it's actually "my country, right or wrong: if right, to be kept right, and if wrong, to be set right".

John Brennan didn't wait to get indicted. He sued first—to force the government to preserve records he'll need to defend himself. The complaint alleges judge shopping, forum shopping & a direct presidential demand for indictment. Worth your full attention. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

It would be very good if there was a law that would put law enforcement officials in prison for 10+ years when they lie under oath. Nothing is more corrosive to a society than police corruption.

WASHINGTON—In a judgment the majority of justices said reflected the intentions of the Founding Fathers, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling this week that upheld state bans on transgender athletes, adopting an originalist vision for junior varsity volleyball rosters.

I swear, "a pope from Chicago excommunicates a Nazi-adjacent sect" is like a cut scene from The Blues Brothers

lmao oh my god

i think some dems might be uncomfortable with this because of their voting records in recent years. and maybe they should feel that way

long past time to call it an ethnic cleansing

It really sucks that so many of the venues people can use to publish their opinions online in 2026 have been commandeered by far right billionaires. Really, really fucking sucks.

I'm expecting a lot of sites to add age assurance for connections from Ohio relatively soon too, since the Sixth just fucked us again, but we'll see how that plays out; there's a few elements of that law that make it less of a hassle than Mississippi. But, sigh.

Yup, that's absolutely what happened. IP-based geolocation is absolutely dogshit for accuracy, but it's the only thing we have, sigh. One mobile provider, I think it's T-Mobile but I could be mistaken, has a disproportionate amount of their IP range turn up as Mississippi --

So Bluesky just threw up a screen saying that I was required to verify my age through KWS since I was in a location where age verification is required by law. It made me choose my preferred email address for KWS to contact me and my preferred language. But it threw an error when I submitted.

D&D tonight: the party figured out if the allow Google Meet to blend audio everyone sounds better and there’s no echo. Player 1: That’s something useful from Google! That hasn’t happened in like, 10 years!!

living in the Bay Area is so fucking weird sometimes dude

ACTUAL SOCCER FANS: The United States has been great because thousands and thousands of regular people came out and partied, just huge parties, people going nuts together, sharing, dancing- DIPSHITS IN SUITS: America is awesome because we have gas stations. We have brands. You can get, uh, Phorm.

This is what people mean when they claim unitary exec is “inherently lawless”. In its strongest form this vision of constitution essentially establishes pres can do what he wants up until (& unless) congress impeaches him.

He wasn't ambiguous about it. He was an supporter of the Vichy regime and an open racist

Thiiiiiiiiis

My sisters, trying to scramble about why it’s so important to say “I hate Jews” during mass but in Latin.

And expanding solar. Even at this heat I’m sending excess energy INTO the grid, dammit! I’m doing my part!

"the January 6th of Catholicism" is such a perfect description the same "bravo to us, the lone heroes standing bravely against woke oppression" - except that this time there were permanent and unambiguous consequences, including dire warnings to would-be imitators, in place by the next business day

it matters to have a pope whose official position is "nope actually your virulent antisemitism is a cancer that must be immediately sliced out to save the rest of the body and I simply don't care who that pisses off" that's not just about these guys. that's a warning to everybody else

100% this!
