Mitch McConnell was in Congress during the Terri Schiavo case, so in a way it does feel like an act of delayed karmic justice if it turns out that it is in fact his turn to have the GOP puppet his corpse around to score political points rather than allowing him a peaceful exit with some dignity

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.

I feel like portraying it as a fringe theological dispute between catholic sects over the 2nd vatican council and finger pointing over who's a heretic, rather than as a conflict with a fringe far right sect that says Jews are going to hell and Muslims are rapists hides the general interest aspect.

You Holiness Pope Leo XIV, I have a proposition for you: if you excommunicate JD Vance I will come out of spiritual retirement and re-Catholicize. That way your numbers stay they are. I don’t want to put a clock on it, but I’d prefer sooner rather than later

important to note that, while Benedict was the one who un-excommunicated them (because he sucked), the much-more-liberal Francis ALSO made concessions with SSPX. he tried to give them a few things they wanted in the hopes that they would then offer compromises from their end, but these guys never do

64 live hang buyers and 111 recorded, that’s $7,575 for voting rights to hear me scream about JD Vance (in October! maybe he will be excommunicated by then! don’t you want to hang out with me to talk about it?) if we break $10k (combined) I’ll add another half hour to the Q&A

I think we're all indebted to Bishop Johnson for clearly stating what needed to be said. I'm particularly glad that these lovely laity were here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic liturgical gibberish, it expressed a sophisty little seen in this day and age. /not sorry

This is what happens when someone does not get proper approvals as required by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. This is part of the Lincoln Memorial. It needed multiple approvals, but Trump bombastically went ahead without them, and he has now damaged it.

“We may have created a society of universal, inescapable, unpredictable violence but we do not live in it with you. You are trapped in it. We hover above it.” From @edburmila.bsky.social

This was from when Charlie Kirk was shot and we were supposed to pretend gun violence was newly shocking because it affected someone who was supposed to be exempt from it. Some of our Elite Journalists are doing the same routine now.

This, we are told by everyone including prominent liberals who didn't say a word publicly when a Minnesota state legislator was murdered by a man who explicitly stated that his intention was to swing partisan control of the legislature, is different. This is too much. This is bad. This must stop. This must be a moment of national conversation and reckoning. You people don't understand; this guy invited me on his podcast. I met this guy at Bari Weiss's book release party and he was pretty nice. I did talk shows with this guy. This guy was off limits, as 1 am off limits. The deal is unambiguous: have all the guns you care to own and shoot them at whoever makes you mad but never point them at us. That is the agreement. That is the social contract.
Go ahead and kill each other. We accept that. We expect that. Some of us even demand that.
Just leave us out of it to swan around through life laughing and back-slapping and rubbing elbows and signing book deals and retiring to Spend More Time With Our Families who always look suspiciously like lobbyists. We may have created a society of universal, inescapable, unpredictable violence but we do not live in it with you. You are trapped in it. We hover above it.

COVID is the main driver in the increase of unemployment.

I was 21, starting my career in aerospace engineering, when I was infected by COVID-19 - that ended immediately.

I am now 25 and still unable to work a normal job. I am 1 in millions with this exact story.

applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.
 
it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

really hard to articulate just through words alone how intentionally obfuscated it feels – it's not a simple dropdown, it has you jumping multiple times right across a page that's stuffed with options, and opening menus inside menus inside menus
the path to turn off windows copilot AI, which almost feels like it's been intentionally designed to be as hard to find as possible

Veronica from the film Heather's, played by Wynona Rider. In this image she has shoulder length black hair, black top, a denim ruffle skirt, and black leggings/tights. She is standing in the wood smiling and looking relaxed and carefree.Veronica the End of Heather's.

She is not looking cute or put together. Her hair is a soot stained tangled mess. Her face is covered with ash and blood. She is smoking a cigarette and holding it to her lips with a hand as filthy as her face. She looks like she just survived a knock down drag out fight that ended with getting caught in an explosion.
