Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Disproportionate majority is an insane way to describe a ratio of bloodshed which is, generously to the Israeli numbers, something like a 100:1 ratio

larry @larrrrrry.bsky.social · 1d

also I get it the Palestinian side has seen the disproportionate majority of the bloodshed and suffering at this point but if you didn't shed the same tears for innocent Israeli civilians I think you at best have an agenda and at worst are an unrepentant antisemite but that's a whole can o worms

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

a crude drawing of a trash bin with a large human face sticking out of the top of it, surrounded by trash, with the caption "early testing for the public trash bins with human faces that beg to be fed garbage indicated that most found them too unsettling to use. However, the small number of participants, including some investors, who said they found the bins deeply erotic, and attempted to form romantic relationships with the bins was considered promising enough to continue funding the project."

its interesting that the matrix sequels, wherein everything the main characters believe is shown without a doubt to be verifiably, world-endingly false, have far more sympathy for the believers than the skeptics, who are all shitty mass effect council guys or army guys trying to cuck you

The problem with Mastodon is that it makes you feel stupid for not knowing how it works.
That was the real hurdle Facebook and everything that came after cleared, you could just join, it didn't take any debugging or jargon. It just, worked. For a while.

Credit where credit is due. The Democrats' message that the GOP shut down the government because they want to throw millions of people off healthcare has broken through. Two of my cousins who are NOT AT ALL tuned into national politics told me that this is why the government is shut down.

I wrote about the Bari Weiss take over of CBS News as part of a broader trend away from the pretense of liberal institutionalism into a genuinely post-reality tabloidism, marked by AI slop, unsophisticated Trumpian-Likudite propaganda and consolidation of traditional and social media.
