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.

So I bought Balatro. It was on sale.
I am seriously getting the same systemic puzzle vibes off of it that I get from Tetris. It’s marvelous, and it is going to devour me. A Galadriel level game.

Been in a terrible mood for a few days so of course I’m returning to old classics like Singin in the Rain, White Christmas, and The Music Man.
I dunno why old Hollywood is my happy place, but it is.

It might seem trivial in this weighty & vexed time, but I do feel the need to comment on the Pantone 2025 Color of the Year: Mocha Mousse. www.pantone.com/color-of-the-year/2025
Mocha is a port city on Yemen's Red Sea coast that sat at the center of maritime trade networks in the 17th & 18th C.

The continued insistence by Gamefreak to release the same Pokemon game with a slightly adjusted roster over and over for the past 30 years is infuriating. There is so much unused design space in the Pokemon world that has all kinds of potential, and it’s just sitting there, wasted.
