This is wild. 93% of the renewable electricity generation added to the Irish grid over that last decade now powers data centers, rather than reducing fossil fuel use. Data centers have pretty much annihilated the health and climate benefits those renewables could have provided.

The grant for 2026/27 will now no longer support some subjects at all, including archaeology, geography, nursing, computing and history courses, in order that funding for the likes of medicine, chemistry and engineering is “protected”. Vandalism of the HE sector. Hugely damaging to the UK's future.

My former academic library has just been collected for New International Bookshop ahead of their Big Red Book Fair on 18 July at Trades Hall, 54 Victoria St Carlton. Go give my old books good homes 💜

I converted to Catholicism last week. Here‘s why Pope Leo was wrong to excommunicate the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X

Ad Rock: you can disagree with the current All: POPE MCA: but if you push his buttons then you’re a All: DOPE Mike D: ordain yourself a bishop and you’re All: SCHISMATIC Ad Rock: excommunication is All: AUTOMATIC

'The Christian Brothers – an order with one of the most shocking clergy abuse records of any arm of the Catholic church – on Thursday obtained a moratorium on all claims against it, halting them in their tracks.' www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

laughing my ass off at this interview of an average sspx layperson in the bbc. this woman thinks she is more catholic than the pope because she won't use her hands to eat the body of christ www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Vatican first ordered SSPX to disband in 1975

SOME MIGHT SAY

be careful about eating pistachios that haven’t fully opened. they were likely dead before roasting and could make you sick

get ready for Vatican II

OH MY GOD GUYS okay so priests who want back in have to find a bishop willing to vouch for them, swear fealty to Vatican II and then HAND-WRITE THE POPE AN APOLOGY LETTER (I gues so he knows they didn’t use AI? 😂) and are on probation for 1-3 years this is ten times spicier than I even thought

citing John Paul II is so delicious. any laity remaining will jump ship approx. five seconds after somebody says a word against John Paul II

I think a big part of the Dicastery repeatedly hammering on the name Lefebvre here and framing the whole order as "the Lefebvrists" is to remind people for whom that's a familiar name (esp in Europe) that they are in fact not nearly so innocuous as "The Society of St. Pius X" makes them sound

this is like Catholic Brexit. wait

BREAKING: The Vatican excommunicates bishops from a breakaway group of traditionalist Catholics that consecrated them without Pope Leo's consent.

this has been talked about extensively you’re just 38 www.vaticannews.va/en/vatican-c...

🚨🚨🚨MEMBERS OF THE ORDER WHO STAY IN THE ORDER ARE *ALL* EXCOMMUNICATED🚨🚨🚨

THE VATICAN IS CALLING IT A SCHISM I REPEAT HOUSTON, WE HAVE A SCHISM

OH SHIT DUDES THE VATICAN HAS WEIGHED IN AND THEY ARE BIG MAD 🔥🔥🔥
