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."

This isn’t true. His game wasn’t that big, didn’t even come out until the mid 90s. Nobody associated Griffey with Nintendo, in America at least.

Reports are that with tourney expansion comes a new opening round - revamping the first four to be 12 AQs and the final 12 at large teams.

Moving all these AQs to the opener ain’t it and is a key reason why tourney expansion harms the smaller schools.

It’s mostly going to big farm. The myth of the independent small farm is largely that.

That’s because we live in a society that mostly shames sexual predators. It’s a good thing. Mostly.

I keep seeing posts about why Bluesky isn't growing faster or why its not working and I just dont understand why people care.

I don't want everyone here. I just want to be on social media without getting yelled at by assholes. Isn't that why most of are here?

As far as I'm concerned, it's working
