My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

It's a worthwhile mission to (re)introduce tech skepticism to folks who have become (inexplicably) enthralled to AI* platforms and technologies.
Technologies are not neutral--they bring with them the worldviews of their inventors.

Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Holy shit! Ser Davos, the smuggler Onion Knight, from Game of Thrones (aka Liam Cunningham) is part of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla! Now he’s “smuggling” food across Israel’s blockade to help starving children, just like he saved everyone during the Siege of Storm’s End. Greta Thunberg is also on board

How do you not absolutely die of embarrassment and/or seriously reconsider your choices if both the current and former popes have singled you out for Catholicking badly?
Looks like the new Holy Father isn't a fan of JD Vance.

The Chicago native is also a Peruvian citizen and lived for years in Peru, first as a missionary and then as an archbishop.
