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."

a-Kirby-a-Day: Day 5!

Yo-yo Kirby! I love the sheer creativity of Kirby Super Star abilities.

Hammer Drop (alongside Rocket Dive from Jet) have got to be some of my favorite command grabs of all time.

Its strange how it still feels like a melee weapon even tho it has so much more range than its peers. Its lower dmg balances it out, but Hammer Drop exists as a high dmg close ranged option. I love how its attacks r all trick-based, gives it a really unique flair

Even though its damage is not that high, I can't help but love it too!

Daily bunny no.3100 is just a branch away

A bunny sits on the branch of a tree at night, sipping tea and looking at the full moon. On the moon, another small bunny is visible, also drinking tea while looking back at the bunny on the tree branch

Initially, Scorbunny as a design to me was kinda whatever, but Goh's Scorbunny in the anime definitely elevated my interest. Really expressive and precious.

Still not too fond of Cinderace, but all good tho! I am def biased towards earlier gen pokemon designs.

a-Kirby-a-Day: Day 4!

The classic Arena Killer, Hammer Kirby (yes, there are usually better abilities but its iconic!)

The eyes just happened to be a bit bigger and wider, and I kinda like it! I may go with that style going forward.

it is indeed, which just goes to show how crazy the other abilities can get. Its still really good in Super Star Ultra, Return to Dreamland, Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot in particular, so I think it deserves its iconic status

Sleep Kirby! I used to lay out my arms like this on desks at school; they can be so comfortable. I wonder if that did any long term damage to my body...surely not!
