This is why I don’t spend much time on Meta’s Threads.

So beyond repulsive.

Never tell a bug reporter that their vulnerability can not be exploited. That only serves to guarantee that there will be an exploit built for your vulnerability.

Try "Thank you, we'll patch that" and see how that works out for you.

Woke Pope

Tweet by Joey Mannarino:

"So the new Pope has recently attacked JD Vance, shown solidarity with Kilmar Abrego-Garcia and begged Trump to open the borders like Biden had them. This guy is worse than Francis."

Tweet by Mike Cernovich:

"Sorry, Catholics. This new Pope is an open borders globalist. He will be pushing for abortion soon. This isn’t a guess. You can scroll his X account and see what he’s been up to."

Tweet by Ada Lluch:

"The new pope suffers from the woke mind virus. Very sad news. This virus didn’t escape anyone!"

Jesus was flipping tables in the temple when injustice called for it.

"Civility above all else" is a siren call from those comfortable with the status quo.
