This is no different than a hypothetical American team flying a banner saying "Greenland is American" or a German team "Alsace is German". All are imperialistic aggressive, and nationalistic and importantly ignores the will of the people living there. Really hopes this team loses.

Have you considered that the building anger over material conditions could in part be due to the observation of increasing historically unique wealth capture by a tiny elite ? This knowledge increases anger because people see observe a system that is not working in their favour.

Interesting long read from @jburnmurdoch.ft.com making the case that declining birth rates are particularly tied up with the rise of smartphones and therefore fewer people in relationships, which in turn leads to fewer kids www.ft.com/content/fba3...
Could digital media be affecting birth rates?

I woke and couldn't get back to sleep and started wondering if Trump and Putin have a kind of backroom deal because I could see both of them doing that. But then if Trump cut off the Ukraine money what would Putin have given him in exchange (I know this is conspiratorial speculation thnx 4 reading)

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note
"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope."

Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war.

A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic.

Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope.
