Pope Leo XIV drew 800,000 people to the Champs-Élysées, eighty-two years after his father landed at Normandy. “I grew up with the ideas of Liberation and unification,” he said in Metz. Washington left the job of leading the free world open, and Leo took it.

Pope Leo XIV Is the Leader of the Free World
Eighty-two years after his father landed at Normandy, the American pope drew 800,000 people to the Champs-Élysées and asked Europe to hold together. Washington left the job open, and Leo took it.

Not sure if the point of Angela Paxton’s video was to cause people to search Angela Paxton’s name only to find out that she helped facilitate Ken Paxton’s corruption for many years before ultimately filing to divorce him on “biblical grounds”, but that’s what happened.

Since this summer, ICE has been arresting asylum applicants at airports. Many came legally, then applied for asylum. They have been here for years just stuck in a massive line, working and paying taxes while they wait. No prior admin would have arrested them. Their “overstay” is due to DHS delay.

If Prop 40 passes it likely gets tied up in Court for multiple reasons for years. Very poorly drafted, expensive to implement and leaves out most of the very rich. What a mess.

Dude was mad that the pope wouldn’t say his imaginary friend had a soul. You can’t make this shit up.
Before he flew out, Olah received a copy of the encyclical the Pope was about to publish — and what he saw was a disaster in the making. One of the most influential people in the world full stop, and almost certainly its most visible faith leader, was completely dismissing even the possibility of AI consciousness. So indignant was Olah that he reportedly threatened to pull out of the event, though in the end he decided to show up.

According to the NYT, once the Anthropic delegation arrived at the Vatican, Olah and his team lobbied the pope’s advisers to take the possibility of AI consciousness seriously. Anthropic declined to discuss the details of the conversations when the NYT reached for comment.
