The pope is weak on crime.

When you hear there's a fish tube coming

Fish tube is mostly a scam, but fish ladder is real an awesome and I want to spend afew vacation days there.

blazers were predicted to have 35-36 wins this season and that was BEFORE our coach got arrested by the FBI after the first game of the season

imagine arguing with your devout catholic grandma and shouting "the pope is WEAK on crime"

Imagine being the Swiss Guardsman who now has to scan Truth Social posts for actionable threats against the Pope. That specific guy has to hate America more than anyone

there are like 100 real users on Truth Social and they’re all floridians over the age of 55. and it’s the world’s most important news source

Instead of prison can we put him in the Truman Show stage-world and let him think he was President For Life while live-streaming his antics? Because god damn "The Pope is Weak on Crime" is comedy gold

the Democrat who wins will be the one vibrating with desire to drive the MAGAs before them into the snow and cold, unheeding of their piggy little squeals for mercy

Reporter: Why did you attack Pope Leo? Trump: I don’t think he’s doing a very good job. He likes crime I guess. We don’t like a pope who says it’s ok to have a nuclear weapon. We don’t want a pope that says crime is ok. I am not a fan of Pope Leo.

Say "weak on crime" again. I dare you.

a just and loving god would have let Hilary Mantel live to hear “the pope is weak on crime”

You’re right!

due to a rift in the space-time continuum, you can send exactly five words to 2016 CHICAGO POPE NETFLIX HAS ADS

“i’m not mad” damn right you’re not

this is practically a day’s work 🫨

lmao god damn it

Another cool thing about parliamentary systems, none of this 2-3 month transition nonsense. You lost, get out

This is the culmination of SIXTEEN YEARS of dogged work by everyday Hungarians. You think that felt hopeless sometimes? I'm sure it did. 👏 Don't 👏 give 👏 up 👏

ahahahahahahaahhahaahahahahahahahaahahahahhaha

ok NOW i bet Zelenskyy will thank JD Vance

A disconsolate Rod Dreher ordering one exorcism after another at his local in Budapest. A manager discreetly tells him that he's cut off and Dreher howls "just gimme the fucking rites" at the barback.

Incredible work buddy

I think another reason many Americans Feel Bad About the Economy: There is a constant barrage of information indicating to the casual observer that people who run scams and lie and refuse to play by the rules aren't just going unpunished, they're *making way more money than you are* as a result.

Can never get over how tawdry the modern Right's view of Western Civilization is; nothing to build, nothing to aspire to, nothing even really to destroy or wage war against, just sullen resentment of their own children and seething hatred of the cities whose economics subsidies their regimes.

Now send JD Vance to run the publicity team for the new Harry Potter series.

Female Greater Sandhill Crane airing our her bustle in the breeze just after getting off the nest. #birds #SandhillCrane

This is repost of joy. I heard on another platform that this Blue Crane, Periwinkle, at ICF has successfully produced an egg this year. This picture is from a few years ago. I am so thrilled for her and her mate Harold. They reside at the ICF (Intl Crane Foundation) in Baraboo, WI. #birds #BlueCrane

Come to the event and learn new techniques like the Gish Gallop! Behold masters of gaslighting practice their craft! Gaze in wonder as they consign millions to painful deaths from cheaply preventable diseases!

The last time I tried to engage with Jay Bhattacharya in dialogue I ended up on administrative leave. 🤷‍♀️

one of many reasons i will never accept abandoning my trans siblings or the broader queer community for the purposes of "a bigger tent"

Fun fact follow up: Turns out (after many, many back n forth emails with eBird and an Advanced Review) - this is in fact NOT a Black-chinned - but the Black-chinned X Anna's from the previous day. 😂 At least I was 1/2 right & they hybrid part was right. Refraction is tricky y'all! #birds

honestly "Hungarian nationalism" and "subservience to Russia" were a very bizarre mix to begin with.

asymmetrics! what incredible terminology, too and then the followback farmers would complain about low engagement and man I dunno how to explain to you that if everyone in your network is following 30K people nobody is going to see your posts

fascinated by the mind that thinks that soros could buy the election in hungary when elon, with vastly more money, couldn't buy a wisconsin supreme court election

the Soros conspiracy coming from Elon in particular is just embarrassing. you’re worth like 80x what Soros is buddy, if you thought he was buying elections you could snap your fingers and fix it.

Found some common buckeye caterpillars (Junonia ceonia) on our snake herb this afternoon.

Earlier today she reposted an obviously hacked account so her followers could donate to it and that doesn’t give you even a little pause? Here are screen shots showering her repost of the hacked account and then the real account owner after they got it back

This is what your money is paying for if you donate to one of the "Verified by Molly Shah" spam campaigns. You're paying for this guy to buy hacked accounts.

Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.

Sure hope the ADL is feeling good about going out of their way to defend this guy against charges of antisemitism.

The Guardian has been doing a great job covering positive bird news

Okay but seeing snapshots of the broken look on his sour leathery face during his concession speech produces a schadenfreude so potent and euphoric that it could be sold by the microgram.

Happy that my knowledge of French was *just* good enough to understand this new review (although the five stars were a clue)! Anyway, if you live in France, or pretty much anywhere, and like dinosaurs, you might enjoy this: dragonsofwales.etsy.com/listing/4381...
