crazy stuff to be coming from the CEO of the world's first international corporation

Lucius Fox In The Box @carnegro.bsky.social · 2d

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."

maybe they're just decentralizing the bone pile as a means of creating greater autonomy in the ritual

sat for thirty minutes at a bus stop today (waiting for a bus that's supposed to run every 15 minutes) next to a parked black van that had emblazoned on its hood in bright white all-caps the sentence I CAN DO IT ALL IN THIS LIFETIME. i mean, maybe if the bus ever gets here!!! get lost jenny holzer

Genuinely curious for engagement on this because I used to have easy answers but they’ve all been undermined. What country would you leave America to move to and why?

🚨Last chance on Lyndale Ave. Help raise a ruckus so Hennepin County doesn't screw this up. Street reconstructions are basically once in a lifetime chances. Let's get it right.

Join the Livable Lyndale team this Saturday Oct. 4 at 2pm (meet at Painter Park) to Stroll & Roll for a Livable Lyndale! Let's show Hennepin County that a shared use path is NOT the solution for Lyndale Avenue South!

Stroll and Roll for a Livable Lyndale!
Saturday, October 4, 2-4 PM
Meet at Painter Park tennis courts (620 W 34th St, MPLS)
Let’s show Hennepin County that a shared use path is NOT the solution for Lyndale Avenue South!
Despite clear demands from community, Hennepin County has released a final design for the road reconstruction that compromises the safety and comfort of people biking, walking, and taking transit. Join the Livable Lyndale campaign on Saturday from 2-4 PM to walk, roll, or push our bikes along the sidewalk to demonstrate how crowded, unsafe, and uncomfortable it will be if all users are together in one space!

Helping with this volunteer-run bookstore has made me lifelong friendships, connected me with multiple intersecting communities within and without the Twin Cities, and scored reporting tips.

We're always on the lookout for new volunteers. Email us at volunteering at boneshakerbooks dot com!

personally i want to know how strong the correlation is between people who think they are in a relationship with a chatbot and people who complete online surveys

This bookstore is fucking awesome! Donate if you've got the money! (Also, postcard for only $5!)

Boneshaker Books @boneshakerbooks.bsky.social · 10d

The rumors are true: Boneshaker is headed to a new location! We need your help to dig up our bones and move on over to 26th and Lyndale. We're hoping to raise $15,000 total, $6k of that by 10/17. Learn more at bit.ly/boneshakermove and thank you for helping Boneshaker thrive!

Why move? While we love a lot about our current location, we’ve struggled with dwindling foot traffic, low sales, and expensive maintenance issues.

We believe our new space will offer resources that will allow us to exist more sustainably as a community organization for the long haul.

How can I help? Our goal is to raise $15,000 total to fund the move, make some improvements to the new space, and build out our inventory.

Ultimately, we need at least $6,000 by October 17th so we can reopen in our new space at 708 W 26th St. by around November 1st.

Donate and find out more about the move (and the cool perks you can get for donating!) via the QR code or URL below.
Thank you for helping Boneshaker thrive!
