This had its origins in Search Tolkien but has been improved (like the ability to group by speaker) and those improvements will make it back to Search Tolkien soon!

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."

In retrospect, there was a big sign that something was wrong at Khazad-dûm #Tolkien #art

However, when Prunella sings, "Why can't a fellow ever once prefer a solid girl like me?" I felt that in my soul.

Watching the 1965 Cinderella with my 5-year-old daughter who is not very familiar with the Cinderella story and therefore in agony over whether Cinderella will go to the ball at all, and then terrified she won't leave by midnight.

Signing a message to a client with "lol" because I have to match his terrifying and maybe slightly schizophrenic vibe.

Sarah M 🫖 @lore.house · 21h

I thought this was what vibe coding was until like, last week

It’s good stuff! So easy and clean!

Love this! Though I will say my tribal work in my youth taught me that what a few tribes agree on, a few other tribes would rather die than put up with, so it could be challenging to choose one from among our original residents.

Has he turned into a monster through some sort of supernatural means, like a werewolf, or has he turned into a monster like an evil human like a narcissist?
