WSJ: President Trump believed his Truth Social post demanding prosecutions of James Comey and other political foes was a private message to his attorney general, and "and was surprised to learn it was public."

all of life is screens, and all the screens are now haunted, and somehow we've got to somehow keep a society going on this set of facts.

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.

not a sure thing, even then. Though, up to like half a dozen popes have alleged ties to the deaths of their predecessors.

Finally, Carlos Santana’s dream has been realized

In an interview with Dan Rather, guitar god Carlos Santana revealed that he wishes there would be one global TV station showing beautiful things all day, like women giving birth, and that he does not want "Amazing Grace" to be played at his funeral, but rather Alice Coltrane's "Galaxy in Turiya."

We saw this when shopping recently. The dealers try very hard to move shoppers from even the fancy electrics. One more reason to break the back of the cartel

Car dealers make basically all their money on maintenance. The cars themselves are very low margin.

I remember when NYT (or WaPo?) had this live tracker of people endorsing Harris versus people calling for an open primary, and when the former column filled up with exactly one person in the latter column they changed it to Endorsed/Has Not Endorsed

I think some of it was that, some of it was people angry that they weren't able to replace Biden with a pro-crypto, pro-tech Trojan horse in a "blitz primary" which was part of the goal of pushing Biden out to begin with bsky.app/profile/lilb...

It's the same as 2024. Commentators never forgave Democrats for rallying around a woman of color, and robbing them of endless, "Democrats in disarray," narratives.

If you look at the sheer insanity of what government officials and agencies openly post on XShitter, it becomes abundantly obvious how much the press is complicit. If Dems did even a fraction of this poasting it would be saturated in news coverage.

Pope Stephen VI was imprisoned and strangled for the cadaver synod, but also isn't considered an anti-pope. So, I guess he's a Catholic in good standing?
