Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.

Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.

Why the artist must take sides @saulwilliams.bsky.social

“Some artists believe they have no place discussing politics, or, at least, politics beyond their scope.

Yet a live-streamed genocide should bring everything into question. A question that becomes: What role can you play? What is within your power to help bring it to an end?”
Saul Williams, Songs My Mother Taught Me: Why The Artist Must Take Sides

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica.
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica.
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

Ha ha I hate it here

From the New York Times:

It is a chaotic scene on the National Mall.
Several hundred people have refused to leave despite an order to evacuate because of severe inclement weather that is approaching. Some are even arguing with Secret Service agents. At one point, a crowd of people began running back toward the stage. An officer is sternly repeating the order over a bullhorn and the crowd is booing. Many have begun chanting "U.S.A., U.S.A." A federal law enforcement officer is trying to assure people that the event has not been canceled. Many are not convinced.
One man walking by blamed the situation on "liberals in the weather service," adding,
"I think this is baloney."

Arguably the best photo I’ve ever taken of an ominous stranger on horseback approaching lazy cattle on a chalk hilltop beneath an irascible sky.

I took this photo of this mysterious rider on Hod Hill in north Dorset, the July before last. I'd been to a party the night before, sustained what is still only my second proper hangover this decade, and climbing big mystic hills proved to be the best of all cures. However the specifics of my mental state did make the approach of this dark figure seem particularly ominous, until she greeted me with a cheery hello and moved on her way towards the village of Fifehead Magdalen.

OH MY GOD GUYS okay so priests who want back in have to find a bishop willing to vouch for them, swear fealty to Vatican II and then HAND-WRITE THE POPE AN APOLOGY LETTER (I gues so he knows they didn’t use AI? 😂) and are on probation for 1-3 years this is ten times spicier than I even thought

Reconciliation for priests
The procedure set out by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, beginning on July 1, 2026, provides that a priest who has decided to leave the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X - and who is willing to accept the Second Vatican Council and the legitimacy of the Novus Ordo Missae, while remaining attached to the ancient rite - must "find an Ordinary - a diocesan Bishop, a Major Superior of clerical religious institutes of pontifical right or of clerical societies of apostolic life of pontifical right, etc. - willing to receive him ad experimentum."

The priest must then "write by hand a letter to the Holy Father in which he presents himself and asks for the remission of the censures incurred because of the ordination he received from an excommunicated or irregular Bishop, or because, having been validly and legitimately ordained, he subsequently became a member of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X."

but instead, not only was there a big public announcement which scoops up 300,000 people instead of 6 people, it was framed as a warning to the rest of the church not to fraternize with these people. that's a shot across the bow to scare potential SSPX sympathizers and other right-wing Catholics
