“You’ve learned some flashy tricks, your holiness, but you’ve forgotten the essence of the game … it’s about the cones. I move my abbot to the ocean hex, which moves my brinksman to the devil's lair, and pushes my farmer, yes, my humble farmer, directly into the central cone.

As a child, scriptural condemnations of false teachers, idols, demons, illusory paths to eternal life, had always struck me as the most provincial and historically contingent part of religion, of little value to people as modern and wise and free as I thought we were. Can see now that I was wrong.

florence pew: thread

The framing of this by CNN implies she's talking about bad candidates, but she isn't. She's saying this country hates women. People say look at Mexico or Germany, they elected women. Yes. Because they, as a country, don't hate women nearly as much as we do. Fucked up shit. She's not lying.

Wife: It is interesting that the biggest papers and networks burned decades of hard work by others who built up their brands to bend over immediately for Donald Trump because they thought he would be a successful dictator and 10 months in he's flailing. Those people have the worst business instincts

It IS a print now and it has my messy try at recreating the title design #frankenstein www.inprnt.com/gallery/craz...

Loved this movie so much. More designs to come #tattoo #frankenstein

The Creature // #frankenstein #guillermodeltoro #jacobelordi #digitalart #painting

The cage that Elizabeth used to catch butterflies in felt kind of similar to the batteries Victor used, I went with the idea of the Creature being trapped in the battery casing with Victor as the beholder. Not sure if it lines up but I thought it would look cool LMAO #chromaheartart #frankenstein

That one particular bts picture made me sob, that’s his real dad right here 🥹 #frankenstein #frankenstein2025 @realgdt.bsky.social

“So Disney claims it makes no sense that Ben Solo would be alive, but they didn’t have that issue with Palpatine in Rise of Skywalker.”

It's been a political masterclass from Pope Leo, frankly. I think he was tired of Trump and MAGA co-opting Christianity and said let's get in there and make it an us vs them situation. Make the administration be versus the church. It's smart.

I think medieval beekeeper outfits could be the strongest look in the entire history of fashion.

This totally stemmed from a different conversation, but for some reason I was imagining Frankenstein's creature giving Guillermo del Toro uppies like a cat. 😭🤣💖💖💖💖✨️✨️✨️✨️ #frankenstein #gdt (what's wrong with me LOL)

I guess there *is* such a thing as having too much salmon, what a way to go though

props to WSJ for once on a useful notion, ADMIN PARTY for everybody

Idk is this anything

it's also like, what do you give a pope?? and one person solved that for everyone else 😂

It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"

He's the sports jersey pope now. 1000 years from now historians will be going through the Vatican archives trying to figure out who the Charlotte Hornets were.

This rules, actually

I think in a very real way their fixation with Bill is because it’s still 2016 in their heads and they’re cackling over the damage Bill scandals do to Hillary. they are so obsessed with her they think we are too. when in fact most of us are like “no put ‘em both out to pasture, it’s long overdue”

"And then I learned it. The horror of the truth. I understood that I was nothing. A wretch. A blot. Not even of the same nature as man. This hurt clung to my mind. It never let go." #Frankenstein

A former career DOJ guy told me a few weeks ago that prior to Trump, the FBI was the varsity team, DHI and ICE were junior varsity, and Border Patrol were like a drunken office softball team. And under Trump, the drunk softball guys are now in charge.

The only reason we know anything about Epstein is the 14 year olds step father or step uncle was a either a sheriff's deputy or cop, and Epstein had power over the state of and the sheriff's office or pd but not the other so he didn't catch wind of the investigation until he was raided.

oh I bet she had an aneurysm with Bob

More podcast hosts should FAFO, in my opinion. Some of these bonkers and bigoted little ideology silos need some sunshine and disinfectant

Paul Krugman only reads blogs and that is why he, unlike everyone else who has been in punditry for decades, has never lost his mind

Genuinely impressed by Levi's speed running of the hard right wing pivot ending with getting stuck exclusively making Christian movie slop.

Outside of the obvious, you can tell all the people in Epstein emails are sociopaths because they apparently loved getting and sending emails
