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."

No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, this argument should be chilling. Trying to limit freedom of the press under the guise of national security is what tinpot dictators do. That’s not how a functioning democracy works.

First eyewitness accounts from this afternoon’s ICE shooting in Austin is here, from freelance reporter Emiliano Tahui Gómez.

Combined tweets, cutting tags and other such

Here in North Austin, where ICE agents appear to have shot an individual in his car. I spoke to two of the only witnesses.

Nedevia Bolaños and her husband, Carlos, own a business just off the intersection where the shooting happened. Shortly before 1 pm they says they heard what sounded like two gunshots. Carlos ran out first. A blue Toyota sedan and a black Escalade were stopped under the highway.Combined tweets, cutting tags and other such
 
He said he saw an olive-skinned man, seemingly in his 30s, leaning backwards against his seat. A masked agent was standing outside the car. The agent refused to answer questions. Within a few minutes as many as 10 other ICE agents arrived.

Carlos asked the victim if he was ok. "Yes," the man said in Spanish, but he looked exhausted. Carlos asked why they had shot him. "Because I didn't stop."Combined tweets, cutting tags and other such. 

Bolaños ran up next. She said she continously asked the ICE agents about why they'd shot him and if they were going to render aid. They didn't answer her. It was an APD officer who later arrived and cut open the young mans shirt, revealing a deep hole between his shoulder blades. The ambulance arrived about 10 minutes after and carried him off. "I've never seen all this. Thank God I'm a citizen," Bolaños said in Spanish. "Or I'd be living like this. In a dream of terror."

Trump announced revoking press credentials on a Friday afternoon to program the corporate media for the weekend. And it worked. Instead of talking record breaking diesel prices, hid failed Iran war, Trump's corruption, etc the corporate media is focused on press passes.

We were supposed to be in session all of September. We worked 2.5 days. Now Johnson is sending us home. Why? He’s terrified of votes on Hegseth impeachment articles and another Epstein discharge petition. Meanwhile, Trump is only focused on destroying the Kennedy Center and ranting like a maniac.

Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump after Jan 6. Republican SCOTUS appointees gave him immunity. Republicans in Congress today stand idly by as he unleashes death and destruction across the globe. We are now at the whims of a mad king because GOP leaders have refused to constrain him.

A SLAP IN THE FACE. Trump wasn’t concerned about sailors aboard the USS Lincoln being pushed to the breaking point. He denied their suffering. Now the Navy might replace Black war hero Doris “Dorie” Miller’s name on a carrier with Trump’s. Trump wants the honor without honoring those who serve.

The most remarkable thing about Trump's statements was this: they reflect deep knowledge of North Korean propaganda and acceptance of all North Korean claims, but no knowledge even of the rudiments of the US security relationship with the Republic of Korea. Who, exactly, is briefing Trump?

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln have no fresh food. The Secretary of Defense spent millions on Lobsters. Ordinary Americans are struggling to pay for food, gas, and rent. The Trump family has made BILLIONS from insider trading and graft. This regime doesn’t care about us—only themselves.

US inflation is the highest in the G7.
Line chart titled "The United States currently has the highest inflation in the G7" showing year-ended consumer price inflation rates across G7 countries. The United States leads at 3.5%, followed by Canada at 3.2% and Italy at 3.1%, while Japan has the lowest rate at 1.5%. The 2.0 percentage point gap between the highest and lowest rates reveals divergent price pressures among major advanced economies, with the US experiencing notably stronger inflation than its peers.
