You won’t believe what degrading practice the Pope just condemned

Communication must be freed from clickbait and misguided thinking, head of Catholic church tells journalists The Pope has condemned clickbait as a “degrading” part of journalism, at a private audience with global newswires. Australian media representatives were among those to hear directly from Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican on Thursday with about 150 members of newswire alliance MINDS International. Continue reading...

it's honestly so funny that the democratic party are dicking around with paying consultants that have been wrong for a decade and spending money on sending me text messages i hate and the republicans are like "i will simply buy all of the media and a voting machine company"

i don’t think we “have” to immiserate people. but the idea that voters must be protected from the consequences of their actions is not only incredibly, decadently precious but also fundamentally antidemocratic.

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

"When the doctor put his hands in front of his face he didn't even have to move them away and say peekaboo. I knew he was still there the whole time. He told me he's never seen someone realise he didn't disappear as fast as I did. Not the easiest test."

Trump: "I also did a cognitive exam. Which is always very risky because if I didn't do well, you'd be the first to be blaring it and I had a perfect score. And one of the doctors said he's almost never seen a perfect score. I had a perfect score. That made me well good ... not the easiest test."

A few years ago I asked what's the most American thing you can think of it and I guess this has taken its place. The secret police performatively praying over fast food hamburgers before a hard day's work disappearing immigrants. They'd call you a hack for making a joke like that. I feel like one just noticing it having happened in real life.

Maybe beginning to feel news coverage that either ignores this sort of blather or balances it with a polite “Some experts disagree with the assessment that Portland is a burned-out hellscape under the rule of Antifa warlords” doesn’t really cut it.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Agreed. The entire point of bike lanes and paths is to separate smaller, slower moving things from larger, faster moving things. Anything other than pedal-assist bicycles or other speed limited mobility devices should not be in these spaces.

David Zipper @davidzipper.bsky.social · 1d

My unpopular urbanist opinion is that big, hyperfast two-wheelers are a menace and should be banned from bike lanes/paths (with enforcement).

These things endanger everyone riding a bike or legal e-bike. Worse, they deter some from even trying.

E-bikes have evolved into e-motorcycles. Law enforcement is lagging behind.

Serious injuries are on the rise in emergency rooms around the country, as electric cycles become bigger and faster. Lawmakers and police departments are scrambling to address the problem.
