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."

Oh wow I got an automatic (AI?) english dub on that video.

English is broken ever since the great vowel shift anyway.

But here the word use two conventions that make it seem like "bad spelling", but I'd argue that it's actually not.

X for a "sh"-like sound seem to be pretty common.

tl for the expelled breath t at the end is probably also a convention

Mer at jeg hørte mye engelsk mens jeg var bitteliten og fremdeles holdt på å lære språk...?

Nok @slitennok.bsky.social · 10d

Tja, jeg lærte engelsk av tegnefilmer og leste på engelsk i 2. klasse hvis ikke tidligere, men vi startet ikke med engelsk på skolen før 4. De starter jo tidligere nå

Jeg synes Norgespris er elendig praktisk, men er likevel glad den er her.

Kraftkablene er fantastiske for AS Norge, nå får vi både beholde dem *og* fordelt overskuddet til befolkningen.

I dag har jeg skrevet om innestemmens paradoks, om hvordan media mangler evnen til å gjenkjenne autoritære og ekstreme strømninger når den er kledd i dress og opptrer «dannet».

Om hvordan verdiene våre brukes mot oss.

Innestemmens paradoks

Vi må gjenkjenne det autoritære, selv om – eller særlig når – det kler seg i dress.

TAKK.
Tråd: Jeg har kanskje ikke snakket om dette nok, siden jeg er så bizzi med å snakke om alt mulig, men dette er jækla viktig.
Jeg var liten på 80-tallet, og er fra ei bygd der de fleste menn var "breadwinners" og reiste ute til sjøs mens kvinner var husmødre og alene det meste av tiden.

Nils Henrik @nilshenrik.bsky.social · 15d

Men det provoserande med «tradwife»-greia er jo ikkje at nokon likar å passe barn eller lage cupcakes, men at godt betalte influenserar agiterer for at andre kvinner skal gjere seg økonomisk avhengige av menn. Det er ikkje berre gamaldags og sullikaktig. Det er ondskap.

TikTok will be co-owned by China and Trump allies, Paramount was sold to a pro-Trump billionaire who's also set to buy Warner Bros, X is owned by an apartheid-bred fascist, WaPo and Meta are owned by Trump-cowering billionaires, and Murdoch owns the Fox empire. Here's why media has a liberal bias.

Conservatives are no fans of Trump, but they still wanted to govern with Progress and the Christian People's Party who *are* huge Trump fans.

Conservatives and Liberals (Venstre) deservedly crashed and burn because they wanted power even if it meant a coalition with the "nationalist conservatives"

this is the thing, from top to bottom. we had maybe the best deal any country has had in history. our decline is a series of people voting to throw that away because they cannot understand that it is a good deal

I will go to my deathbed, which god willing will be in like seven decades, absolutely hating these people for their sheer hubris and decadence. We had the world, and they are risking it all because they can't see past the bridge of their nose shoved up their ass

Reconstructionist @unavaleable.bsky.social · 24d

The thing that's astounding is they don't seem to understand how what they're exactly playing at, their cowardice actually increases their personal risk! Their entire being is predicted on the stability and order that they are choosing to compromise!
