A tech billionaire mocked Pope Leo XIV’s call for ethical AI.

The post was deleted — but not before exposing Silicon Valley’s deeper discomfort: a pope they can’t buy or bully.

It also revealed something older: the Valley’s original sin — the desire to be God.
Tech Billionaire Mocks Pope Leo’s AI Warning — and Reveals Silicon Valley’s Original Sin
A billionaire tech guru openly mocked Leo's call for moral AI — and quickly backtracked after backlash. It’s a telling collision of Silicon Valley hubris with a pope they cannot buy, bully, or ignore.

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

Never let anyone use the abbreviation Antifa ever again without getting them to admit they are talking about antifascists.

“Antifascists are a dangerous terror organisation” is a statement and designation only a fascist government would make.

Make them say it.

Someone who says this shit is by definition a person who is racist, sexist, and yearning for the good ol' days when no uppity people of any kind could possibly call him out.

Stop with this bullshit that "this turned me fascist." You were already fascist and looking for fucking excuses.

Antifa is short for “anti fascist”

America once fought a war against fascism

Now Trump says this anti fascist spirit-the idea that we must oppose tyranny-is a terrorist notion

I’ve marched with people identifying as Antifa

They were always peaceful

Nobody attacked the Capitol

Unlike MAGA

This is exactly what Jimmy Kimmel said. Despite what the MAGA fascists say, he wasn't saying the Charlie Kirk killer was MAGA.

At 17, I joined the army after receiving a great Kentucky education. I served in the CIA and assisted President Obama in the White House Situation Room. And ran businesses that employed hundreds of people.

I lived the American dream, and I'm running for Senate so that you can live yours.

We’re seeing that corporate titans don’t care about authoritarianism. Look at the Big Tech overlords flocking to the White House. Conservatives use to celebrate the supposed link between capitalism and democracy. Not any more.

throws a lot of cold water on the bullshit peddled by the whole austin comedy scene, which has constructed an identity around the idea that the election freed up comics to say whatever they want without fear of cancellation
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

#ProudBlue This is Kimmel’s post re the death of Kirk.

On the show, he simply stated what we all know - the shooter is not some “radical leftist”. For speaking the truth, he’s been silenced.
Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Reality jolt ⚡️

Meet Caroline, a former TPUSA insider. She saw firsthand how Kirk’s world runs on cruelty, trolling, and blind obedience. It took years to admit the truth.

NOTE: recorded in July, before Charlie Kirk’s murder, which makes it hit even harder.
