As I always say: tradition has a liberal bias 😎

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 1d

As Pope Leo begins to reveal some of his views on divisive issues, some conservative critics of his predecessor are rejecting the possible rise of another “liberal pope.”

As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’

Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.

I’m not gonna get ahead of myself but I feel like the Kimmel thing really was the turn of the tide

ktb ⧉ @kevinbaker.bsky.social · 1d

pretty sure this is part of how they blew it, and thank god.

Can't help but thing they absolutely fucking whiffed it by making this about Jimmy Kimmel. The media was already circling the wagons around Charlie Kirk, who they were treating as an industry martyr, and then they went and made it about media censorship.

I’m old enough to remember when this kind of rhetoric was the norm in both parties. There’s a lesson in that

I’ve been a CharliXCX loyalist for some time, but the events of the last week have radicalized me even further

This entire presidency is essentially a sock puppet show enacted for the approval of Ian Miles Cheong

jack 🌹 @kyriakos.bsky.social · 2d

This is the key to understanding everything about this entire administration

I might be wrong, but I think their X bubbles have led them to overestimate their own popularity and how much power over the public they've actually consolidated

Considering the possibility of offering subscription based online courses independently in the near future. Would anyone be interested in this? And if so, what kind of course would you be interested in taking?
