The pope has condemned clickbait as a “degrading” part of journalism, at a private audience with global newswires.

"I urge you: never sell out your authority"

News agencies deliver a service which “requires competence, courage and a sense of ethics”.

da pope! first affirming migrant rights and now this

(and yes the headline is clickbait-y by design)

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

In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life

WHAT A GOOD IDEA
LET’S TRY IT

I heard that 72.9% of antifa’s members are health care execs and if we instituted not-for-profit healthcare we’d drive antifa out of business

he also said that 80% of antifa's members are landlords and if you lower the cost of housing, you basically starve the network of its financing

In the 90's, there was one random Anne Rice or Dean Koontz within 3 meters of you, no matter where you were. They were what you had nearby to read, so you read em.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Because of woke.

I just got home from a dinner party where “the last movie I saw in a theater” came up as a topic of conversation, yet the vibe was definitely not to talk about Sinners, so I just sat very quietly and thought about how good Sinners was

This is a really good discussion by a couple of people who dealt with releasing a book through Unbound as it collapsed. @alicefraser.bsky.social and @chrisskinner.bsky.social are great, Alice's book is fantastic, and it's really unfair this happened to so many great people. youtu.be/8l73x6t27U4?...

I sometimes do work for publishing houses. This was a request that came to me the DAY that it was due and had NO assets for me to use: this is me taking a pdf of the book and making this from complete scratch! It would be good if you hired me actually! I can do stuff! This looks like a real ad!

"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!
