Thus says the LORD of hosts:

In those days ten people from nations of every language will take hold, yes, will take hold of the cloak of every Judahite and say, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Yes, but the European racism that necessarily excludes Italians is something else

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Also looks like he was real weasely with Benedict, and he tried to get out of the US job. His wiki gives conniving vizier

“Nuremberg Trials for ICE” is the moderate position

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Also, hilarious to spend your entire career in diplomacy for the Catholic Church, as an Italian citizen, only to end up horribly racist in an American way.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

He got Pope Francis to meet with that county clerk who refused to do gay weddings, which was like the conservative version of pachamama, 4 years before. Francis did not like being blind sided with a political thing like that

I think the seed was his career stalling out. He was on the ass end of vatileaks, he was made US nuncio, but never made a Cardinal. And when McCarrick broke, he jumped right ahead of the news to control the narrative and blame the pope. But demanding the pope resign is a Rubicon crossed.

He was ordained in 1968 and worked his whole life in the Vatican and the diplomatic corps. You cannot tell me he had a positive thought in his mind about the EF before 2018.

Imagine how demoralizing it must be to rock in as a fascist stormtrooper ready to crack some skulls only to be repulsed by a frog who shrugs off your pathetic fire and starts casting magic spells.

If I see you posting AI slop, it's an instant block. Even if you think it's cute or says a lot about society. If you are purporting that some AI slop is real news, I will report you for misinformation, and then block you. Sloppers should be marginalised.

Not to make this religious but it’s what I do.

The sustained assault on public empathy is bigger than genuine skepticism of performative empathy.

It’s a country where people’s anger for each other has become so intense that they gravitate toward that which will communicate hatred

utopia deferred @utopia-defer.red · 1d

anyone else notice that the west took a turn for the worse once the concept of signaling one’s own social virtue became derogatory, almost as if cynically deriding all displays of charity and good will is indicative of a deeply cynical and nihilistic society capable of collaborating in genocide

larry @larrrrrry.bsky.social · 1d

her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character

people online are constantly saying shit like "the average person is now post-literate and returning to medieval peasant mindset" while neglecting the corollary, namely that our elite aristos are once again scrying for angels, summoning demons, distilling elixirs of eternal life, etc.

So much of people resorting to using generative AI comes from a place of feeling insecure about one's own abilities to write, draw, create, think, etcetera.

And by using the AI for those purposes, those skills and abilities will only end up stunted, as you refrain from honing them.

If the superior is wrong, they will be judged for that. It is not for us to second guess a superior unless it is clearly contrary to the moral law. It's absurd to think "don't kill people" is contrary to the moral law.
