So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS.

Please read and share this thread.

Long thread contextualising a lot of stuff.
Pope Leo's first sermon and, uh, his using the phrase "be ever more fully a city set upon a hill" and cf'ing it to Rev 21:10 instead of any of the others before saying "many baptized Christians" are "living in a state of practical atheism" is. Well. Shots fired!

Read Pope Leo XIV's first homily as pope
During his homily, delivered in Italian, Leo XIV said that Christians must serve a world that is often hostile to their beliefs.

Elon Musk likes to say "“vox populi, vox dei" when he gets enough people on Twitter to yell for him. The phrase has a history that warns against the "tumult of the mob" and urges wise counsel and good stewardship. When people like Musk lead, destruction follows. /1

Elon Musk didn’t just misunderstand an iconic medieval quote. He’s missing a much bigger lesson from history
The voice of the people is important. But the iconic quote was part of a broader warning about the dangers of bad governance.

For years, former Black Panthers have feared that the FBI is still keeping tabs on them decades after its notorious COINTELPRO program.

Malik Rahim had never been able to prove he was targeted. Now, government docs show he was correct.
When the Feds Are Still Watching
Former Black Panthers fear the FBI is still keeping tabs on them decades after COINTELPRO. In at least one case, they were right.

Comic book editor: When we got the InDesign proof, there was a templating mismatch between the color TIFs and the letterer's Illustrator file, so the balloons detached from the panel border, and it was after 6pm on print day so we missed it
