"The funniest possible outcome of the AI mandate era is about to be HR departments discovering that 'sincerely held religious belief' under Title VII has a much lower bar than they assumed, and Pope Leo handed every Catholic employee a written excuse" www.businessinsider.com/worker-got-r...

Guys. My retirement accounts are having a bad day. TF did this guy do?!

credit where credit is due, getting your cult addicted to tallow before importing screwworms is a good bit

What mobile games are we loving these days?

E X C O M M U N I C A T I O N Look. If any Pope is gonna do it, it should be the Chicago Pope.

what no way

“The Pope should stay out of politics!” Okay, then you should keep the Ten Commandments out of our public schools and keep your theology away from legislation about individual healthcare decisions, climate change, and social welfare programs.

Lmao I cannot tell you how swiftly I block now. It’s on sight.

And when we stop hanging out with men now there’s a “””loneliness epidemic””” that’s somehow STILL our fault. Folks a girl is tired.

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”. This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

MAN do I want him to get excommunicated. That would make this period like 15% more tolerable for me.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

I converted to Catholicism last week. Here’s why it’s necessary for the United States to invade Vatican City and install its own pope.

I have a lot of Thots about the Catholic Church and I earned them the hard way. Two things I know to be true: 1) there is no more rabid, but often uninformed, believer than a convert, and 2) a *fundamental* requirement is acceptance and belief that, as to matters of faith, the Pope is infallible.

I keep seeing jelly shoes and accessories out and about. I’m so sorry to the generation about to learn this lesson.

Every year I come around more and more on being a quitter. Not because something is hard, but because it’s not worth it. Knowing the difference is the key. But quitting something that’s wasting your time? Exquisite.

Perfect

It’s genuinely a challenge for legal journalists to cover the birthright citizenship case, because one side’s argument is “the Fourteenth’s Amendment intent and text and a century of uninterrupted Supreme Court precedent all support birthright citizenship,” and the other side’s argument is “nuh-UH”

lmao

M3ta is BOUND AND DETERMINED to make me watch pregnancy content. I manually, intentionally retrain my algorithm about once a quarter because it starts to trickle in. I never catch it initially - it’s something funny that’s pregnancy-adjacent. Then it’s my whole feed. SO FUCKED UP

Never mind. I figured it out. If you can’t find FaceID an Passcode, it’s because of a setting in Screentime. Of course.

Anyone know where they hid the FaceID settings on iPhone 16?

I’m really enjoying the social media refocus on drugstore beauty. There are a lot of really good drugstore products these days. You almost certainly don’t need the $30 mascara.

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?

Finished my Brussels sprouts by pan frying them in the renderings of the cubed pancetta I cooked to mix with them, and OMFG 🤤

So sick of being told by centrists that we have to be bigots to win over the bigots. No, fuck that.

Catherine O'Hara is as much of a "good in absolutely everything, no matter how good the thing itself was" actor as Philip Seymour Hoffman.

It was clear during the election that this is where this was headed and every “conservative” I tried to warn poopooed me. So.

"Plummeting" implies there is further to plummet So don't stop

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times, up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

I just got home from an ass-whooping 5 day out of ORD and now I have to UNPACK?! And do LAUNDRY?! Will the indignities never cease?!!?

I have spent most of this month in Chicago and northern lower Michigan. These people are a sturdier breed than I. It’s a different kind of cold.

Any account blaming dems for what repubs have done and what voters did should be treated with suspicion. It's a midterm year and they've come here to suppress the vote.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

I regret to inform you that I have caught up with the news. 0/10 do not recommend. What the fuck.

Many of you were mutuals with me when I started my pilot training ~38 months ago. Yesterday I was signed off as a captain on the EMB-145 series of jets. I can’t believe how quickly the time has passed. Feels like my first solo was just a couple weeks ago.

My tolerance for bullshit is at a record low and dropping.

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Seeing ads for well known brands that I don’t recall ever seeing ads for before. So that’s a great sign, economically speaking, right?

Hail Poseidon and his orca army, lettuce pray 🙏🏼

What no way
