In Another Break With Trump, Pope Leo Skips U.S. 250th Celebration for Migrant Island As Trump builds his presidency around America’s 250th anniversary, the pope heads to Europe’s most symbolic migrant crossing — days after rejecting the president’s “Board of Peace.”

NEW: JD Vance flew to Rome to formally invite Pope Leo XIV to join America’s 250th anniversary celebration.

The first American pope has declined — days after rejecting President Trump’s “Board of Peace” invitation.

On July 4, he’ll be in Lampedusa, standing with migrants.

i'm breathing but barely

Just found signed Denise Levertov.

Govern yourself accordingly.

So I kind of figured it’d be amazing to watch but man this really is different. She’s so relaxed. She’s visibly having so much fun. She’s not fighting for a medal here. She’s just playing her favorite game

I'm going to keep watching figure skating after the Olympics because I like to watch it, but I think it's also because I came in at a great time.

I came in at a time when skaters like Alysa Liu are making the sport less rigid, less constrained.

Making it queerer, though it was always gay.

Alysa's free skate was so beautiful. Macarthur Park was a bonkers song choice.

i saw a post recently that said "americans weren't traumatized by death during covid, only by having their normal lives interrupted" and i can't stop thinking about what a disgusting and absurd idea that is. there were bodies stacked in the hospital parking lots

the downside of living in new york city is that it’s the only place in america that experiences snowstorms. the upside, and in fact the only reason i live here, is that it’s the only place where you can produce videos and upload them to youtube

YESSSSSS

we’re basically speed running the Iraq war but
-Iran is 2x the population
-Iran is 4x the geographical area
-zero allies on board
-UK potentially actively refusing to let us use their bases
-they’re not even bothering to try to manufacture consent this time

There's no such thing as a natural slave or a natural prisoner. No system or man can extinguish the inherent human desire and need for freedom, autonomy, dignity.

gimmie

There is a very clear path forward: compulsory vaccination.

windows pcs are generally for casual users who mostly use it for web browsing and maybe a little gaming. linux is nearly identical except there's no keyboard. macs are for hardcore experts and professionals who take on the toughest tasks, such as drawing three-dimensional rectangles and squares

An image of John Elwes who looks like, uh, he looks like a British person emerging from another British person is all I can describe it as

Cary Elwes is not just British but he’s so British he’s related to the guy who was the inspiration for Ebenezer Scrooge and I have to show you this likeness of him

posted abt korean politics and somebody replied to me saying they can't be bothered to care about international matters with everything going on here (don't go looking for that reply leave them alone) and it makes me think about how hard the US works to isolate us from developing global perspectives

To my mind, this is the single tweet that explains 95% of the energy behind the MAGA movement.

This reminds me of when I added a lot of the "attacked without aggroing" dialog to wikidot.

I went around punching a lot of NPCs, for science.

can’t stop thinking about this quote

my "corolla-sized vermin" google alert is going fucking apeshit this morning

can we also start thinking this about defense attorneys

I'm a chopped unc and I vote

Recipe for Normal Water
1 cups hot water

Pour ingredients in bowl and stir until well combined

look if a Democrat wants me to be really fired up about voting for them, they will promulgate the Crimes Against Humanity Reparations Act which gives US citizenship to everyone targeted by the Trump administration.

have struggled to come to terms with this lately and i think it’s because i would never in one million years do this. nor anything else like it. that’s not a brag or virtue signal. i literally cannot occupy the mindset of a person for whom calling the law on a kindergartner is an appealing choice

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

Vatican News No to homilies prepared with Artificial Intelligence The Pope therefore invited the priests to enter into real life and called for vigilance when confronted with artificial intelligence and internet use. He warned against "the temptation to prepare homilies with Artificial Intelligence". "Like all the muscles in the body, if we do not use them, if we do not move them, they die. The brain needs to be used, so our intelligence must also be exercised a little so as not to lose this capacity," he said. Moreover, "to give a true homily is to share faith," and Al "will never be able to share faith," he insisted. "If we can offer a service that is inculturated in the place, in the parish where we are working, people want to see your faith, your experience of having known and loved Christ." vaticannews.va

PAPA LEONE YES

teleology?! in MY followed feed?

Josh Gibson, Catcher, Homestead Grays

I’ve watched a lot of baseball and I’ve read a lot about baseball and in my opinion there’s a strong chance that Josh Gibson was the greatest baseball player that ever lived
