Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

Ode to skinny whiteness at that. I know some fat white people that smell bad and what's read as intentional with some is read as slovenly in others

Have you ever seen Bruce Springsteen or Bob Dylan sitting under a bush eating cake with their bare hands? No you fucking haven't.

Johnny Cash sitting cross-legged under a bush with a whole cake in one hand, a fistful of cake in the other hand, icing smeared across his face, and a pleased expression.

One of my best/worst habits in school was to set up an outline a week in advance, know *everything* about the subject backwards and forwards, cherry pick the quotes I wanted, and then just wake up at 2am the day of and drop absolutely fantastic papers for 8am deadlines all throughout grad school.

Pope Leo is spitting.

www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows
"exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation,"
with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty."

Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down."

The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote.

Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

Just constantly bring up how ICE shoots unarmed priests. Have press conferences asking Trump if he supports shooting priests. Ask Vance where "thou shalt shoot priests" is written in the Bible. Hammer them with that constantly
