This isn’t “lockstep with Pope Francis” it’s “lockstep with basic Catholic social teaching back to “Rerum novarum” (1891) and beyond.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

Whenever anyone says how much of the U.S. economy is tied to AI right now, I'm like...damn, what if a single rich person had any idea other than "try to zero out labor costs through theft."

That was probably the most fun I’ve had with Saints football since before the no call.

am i the only person who cares about housing prices? is this like a niche political interest or something?

Scott Greer tweets: "Some may say it's frivolous to care about Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl halftime entertainment, but it matters for three reasons.

1) The Super Bowl is America's premier culture event. It reflects where mainstream culture is.

2) It shows the NFL willing to broadcast a middle finger to Red America in the form of an anti-Trump, anti-ICE, Spanish-only singer

3) An entire halftime show in Spanish is the clearest sign of America's Latin Americanization and an affront to our traditional culture."

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

this is the kind of thing that will happen to the Broncos when they make the AFC Championship Game under Sean Payton, only the opponent will score the game-winning TD on that play and a ref will trip a Bronco who could have made a tackle

New Orleans has had the fewest murders this year since 1970. Carjackings are down 80% relative to 2022, vehicle burglaries are down 70%, shootings are down 63%. This is a wholly unnecessary stunt that will hurt local businesses.

the Saints will have to make the QB change at some point tho. It is almost impossible to win football games when your QB only gets 4 or 5 yards per attempt and Rattler has done that almost exclusively in every game he has played.

He’s not “the problem” but also he kinda is.

Noah Builds the Ark
"Story of Noah' series
Brussels-Brabant, 1563-1566
Tapestry; gold, silver, silk and wool
In 1556, Philip II acquired a set of tapestries that told the story of Noah. However, in 1559 the ship carrying them to Spain sank and only two hangings were saved, so the king ordered another set in 1562. It originally consisted of ten tapestries, only three of which are still extant: one shows God commanding Noah to build the ark, another depicts the disembarkation after the flood, and the third is this scene, where the biblical patriarch is giving his sons instructions on how to build the ark. For the borders, Philip II chose his coats of arms and a few animals alluding to the four elements silhouetted against a landscape in the background, whose painstaking details must have posed quite a technical challenge. This tapestry arrived in Madrid in 1566 and was displayed in emblematic settings like the Monastery of El Escorial.

I remember this garbage. Shitting all over a suffering city only to have the Texas evacuation death machine make the New Orleans one look orderly and efficient by comparison.

C Stuart Hardwick @cstuarthardwick.com · 17d

Hurricane Rita's botched evacuation turned freeways into parking lots, resulting in over 100 deaths. A week earlier, a NOAA spokesman giving a post-Katrina briefing on the regional evac plan condescendingly dismissed my question about contraflow, saying "this isn't New Orleans."
