My favorite news today is that Riley Gaines lost in court, and there’s no fifth place in court.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

Whoa. 1st item on the list: "Larry Ellison first became a Wall Street darling by co-founding Oracle in 1977. But in 1990, the database software company nearly went bankrupt when it was revealed that its aggressive sales team booked more than $100 million in 'phantom revenue.'" It only gets worse!

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

11 million ppl voted in Florida in 2024. This means that instances of illegal voting—if all 20 of these cases are actually that (which, doubtful)—would have been .00018% of the total vote.

“At least six babies in Pennsylvania have been born infected with measles, with two so sick they had to be admitted to intensive care.” H/t @ameshaa.bsky.social
nbcnews.com
America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
