"Magnifica Humanitas": Pope Leo XIV's Document on A.I. (Thoughts: Part 1...?)
I'm halfway through Leo's encyclical and I have a couple thoughts so far. First, there's some bangers in there. Like his predecessors' encyclicals post-Leo XIII, what you'll find in these documents a...

Who needs Barnes & Noble? The City that Reads is stocked with local bookstores
Barnes & Noble’s Charles Village closure leaves the city without a big-box book retailer, but about two dozen independent bookstores remain.

Too many but one was the first time i saw them. It was Purple Door in like 03. I was there for Blindside basically. But it started storming and Blindside got rained out. A couple bands before them mwY played and I was at first amused then in awe then in love.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

This shouldn’t be controversial but I’m against a police state abducting and deporting men they claim are bad dudes not because I can find a few I don’t know much about who I can claim are actually good dudes. I don’t care what kind of dude. My problem is with police state abductions.

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.

We have just undergone this process in Baltimore and, while maybe necessary, a lot of the consolidation has been without much consideration of parish charisma. I also suspect Lori (our milquetoast archbishop) is trying to kill the remaining progressive parishes.

I'm sorry, I didn't intend for you to do that. It was an interesting article. Maybe just post with a comment about the headline?

Lee M. Krempel @kremp.bsky.social · 30/03/2025
Don't love the phrasing of the headline. Makes it seem like Germany's embrace of the synodal church resulting in the decline.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but fascism often begins with the slow erosion of civil liberties and the rise of authoritarianism under the guise of ‘security measures’.

Sanders: I’m going to be going with my good friend Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who, as everybody knows, has been an inspiration to young people all over this country. She’s a real fighter, she’s doing a great job in the House, and it’s an honor to be hitting the road with her.

I'm not HATING it, but I realize it isn't great. Every Russo Bros movie feels so calculated. So plotted. So beated out. They feel like studio notes come to life. You can feel the film yelling STAKES! ACT TWO! etc

The Dems are the party of governance. Which is good. "Splitting the baby in two" and all that. But the people want to see some f*cking FIRE coming from the party. Do something dramatic, loud, disruptive. We need to see you fighting!

Generally speaking I dont support shutdowns. The Dems are the only party that believes in governance. But....it is past time for DRAMATIC shit stirring. The Dems need new leadership.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

I'd actually like to add that I'm deeply mournful about this topic because I believe very much in fairness. And I want, desperately, for cis and trans athletes to be treated fairly. And I can't figure out how that works. And that makes me sad.
