“Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon on Wednesday that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor & strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself.”

Obvious to any REAL Christian. #MerryChristmas
Pope Leo, on Christmas Eve, says denying help to poor is rejecting God
Leo has made care for immigrants and the poor key themes of his early papacy.

In Icelandic folklore Jólakötturinn, the Yule Cat, comes to eat those who do not wear their new clothes for Christmas. In this image, you can see somebody did not put on their new Christmas sweater. Or perhaps even more unfortunately, no one got them one!

Probably the same way we put men on the moon with 1960s technology. Or how we built the most dominating military in world history. Or how we created a postal system that can deliver a package to any address, anywhere in the country, no matter how remote, for just a few bucks.
I'm here willing to read anything someone puts together that details how we can get from here to there

I'm all for universal healthcare. Tell me how we get there.

I do think people can be needlessly rude but you can't have 6 billion dollars and act like universal health care is impossible and expect not to be told to suck a turd etc
No shock. This app has turned my mentions, and others, into mostly hate. But there are a few people worth connecting with

CRAZY how it's easier these days to have a real discussion on X, or threads, than on here.

Nothing like asking career AUSAs who have been under assault for the last year, watched their colleagues get fired for no reason, and their offices taken over by incompetent boobs to volunteer their time to perpetuate a cover up of their boss's involvement w/a sex predator 🙃

Very interesting! Alex explains in the thread, but the tl;dr is that many Japanese users are fleeing Twitter for bluesky because of the reported addition of the "edit" button that lets anyone modify any image you post with AI. So artists are understandably very upset.
UPDATE: We may see the first time English is displaced as the most popular language among Bluesky posters as soon as Americans head to sleep tonight.

Japanese users were close to achieving that feat at 7 am Eastern Time, and their activity is increasing at an exponential pace. This is remarkable.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

And 1 million Epstein files appeared from thin air

My good friend Howie Klein passed away today and I am bereft. He was a fierce progressive, music impressario, creative organizer, passionate world traveller and the mensch of all mensches.

Howie always fought the good fight and inspired many to do the same. I will miss him terribly.

Japanese users are blasting Elon's Generative AI "edit image" tool on X, which has led to what they describe as a "deterioration" of the platform. Many do wonder whether this exodus to Bluesky would last.

Devastated isn't strong enough. I just heard the news that my friend of over 30 years, Howie Klein, @downwithtyranny.bsky.social has died. He did a weekly segment on my show for probably 15 years, right until he went in for surgery months ago for pancreatic cancer. I reached out to him just days ago
