Alolan Raichu fact: it’s evolution is caused by its love of pancakes

Photo of Alolan Raichu and its Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee Pokédex entry reading “It loves pancakes prepared with a secret Alolan recipe. Some wonder whether that recipe holds the key to this Pokémon’s evolution.”

Oh — new reporting on Pope Leo from El Paso Matters, citing footage they have of yesterday's meeting.

Sounds like the pope was even *more* forceful in urging U.S. bishops to speak out about immigration than first reported.

I mean, that's…not subtle. elpasomatters.org/2025/10/08/e...

“I was struck at the beginning (of the video), it talks about the feeling of powerlessness, which I think is so much. I think it’s so important that we as a church give a message of hope in the midst of these horrible struggles, what’s going on in so many cities in the United States right now. At least the church cannot be silent,” the pope told the El Pasoans, according to a video of the meeting provided to El Paso Matters by Hope Border Institute.

Seitz responded: “You’ve spoken very strongly. We’re trying to do the same in our country and yet not get into the political fray the best that we can.”

Pope Leo told Seitz that he’d like to see the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops become more vocal on immigration issues.

“I mean, even within the conference, there are challenges. That’s one place they should be … I wish they were stronger in their own voice,” Leo said, adding that Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the president of the conference, should speak out more on immigration.

“There’s been some good movement in that sense, but I certainly intend to continue to encourage” U.S. bishops to address immigration, Leo said.

I have little faith either the US or Israel will be faithful to this deal (just look at Lebanon’s ceasefire). But the ‘I’m powerless’ play was nonsense when US spent 31$ bn supporting/assisting Israel’s war across the region across 2 admins. Some care more about Biden’s rep than our lives

how anyone can see this as anything but a perfect example as to why billionaires & corporations should be taxed is bonkers to me. when you suffer, the rich strive. while you bleed, they benefit. that’s how the entire system is devised.

37 states have passed legislation specifically granting sales tax exemptions for data centers.

Among the beneficiaries of these exemptions are Amazon, Meta and Google, all companies worth over $1 trillion.

Oh shit, ANTIFA is suiting up

From the sound of music. Seven children stand in a line inside a grand house, wearing identical light blue sailor-style uniforms with dark collars, neckties, and knee socks. They are arranged from tallest to shortest, standing at attention on a patterned rug with a staircase and ornate wall paneling behind them.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

If Democrats want to stop fascism, they have to stop their cops from beating & arresting anti-fascism protesters in their own cities

Why is that a thing I have to say out loud

13 arrested, 4 police officers injured during pro-Palestinian protest in Boston

Thirteen people were arrested, and four police officers were injured during a pro-Palestinian rally in Boston Tuesday night.

Remember the claim that we couldn't force a rush to renewables too soon, because it just wouldn't be fair to "developing nations" (i.e. the global majority world)? Welp, turns out they're willing and eager to get in on renewables, and are doing really, really well with them. So.
