Pope Leo Will Spend July 4 Visiting Migrant Crossing Island Pope Leo has spoken out against the treatment of migrants in the United States several times over the last year.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

I JUST READ ABOUT THIS!!!!
From Wikipedia: โ€œThe haunted house aesthetic was based on a treatment [video director] Kahn envisioned for rapper Ice Cube a few months prior and was inspired by the music video for Michael Jackson's "Thriller."โ€

Itโ€™s so hard to have a reasonable conversation about AI, because people refuse to see the massive upsides of job elimination, higher electrical bills, hard drive shortages, poisoning black people in Memphis, and an economy where a handful of pedos with bad hair control your life

HELLO I WAS A QUEER TEEN IN THE 1990s AND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SOCIAL TRANSITION NOW ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST "LETTING" US BE (at the time, for me) GAY OR LESBIAN THEN.

They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

We are at an airport restaurant. A robot just drove up to us with our food, said, "Hi! Here I am!" and then drove away with our food.

The painting โ€œWoman with Plantsโ€ by Grant Wood (1929).  A painting of an elderly white woman with grey hair pulled back from her lined face.  She wears a long-sleeved black dress with a blue pointed collar, a cameo brooch at the neck, and a light blue sleeveless apron with rickrack at the neck and sleeve openings.  She holds a snake plant in a pot at her right side, it grows as high as her hairline.  The background is a rural scene with trees, a red house, and rolling hills.

Happy Grant Woodโ€™s birthday to all who celebrate!

As a person in the converson process, I can tell you that conversion requires learning about and practicing the Jewish religion and being part of a Jewish community, but โ€œfaithโ€ is not emphasized in the way it is for Christians.

Put immediately in mind of:

โ€œCheery was aware that Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.โ€

The only hope of uniting this country is in our shared hatred of health insurance companies. We should lean into that.
