I note how Christian Nationalists, who think the public execution of Jesus was the most horrific thing humans ever did, are giddy at the prospect of getting to watch a public execution on live streaming—being so “pro-life” and all . . .

US measles cases hit their highest level since 1991 • 2025: 2,289 cases • 2026: 3,887 cases (Oct 1) • Under 5s: 26% • Ages 5–19: 44% • Ages 20+: 29% • 95% unvaccinated or vaccination status unknown Major outbreaks reported in Texas, Utah, South Carolina and Pennsylvania.
An Associated Press infographic titled "Measles cases are surging across the United States" shows a colour-coded map of confirmed measles cases by state as of Oct. 1, 2026.
A legend on the right outlines six colour tiers:
•	0 cases: White
•	1-9: Pale pink
•	10-49: Light red
•	50-99: Medium red
•	100-499: Darker red
•	500+: Bright solid red
The map shows cases across most of the US. Utah is shaded dark red (100-499), while Texas, Florida, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and California are in the 50-99 tier. A handful of states, like Nevada, are white (0).
The map credits the CDC as its source. At the bottom, bylines credit Jonathan Poet and Phil Holm, published at 3:31 AM GMT+11, October 8, 2026.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."
