Lots of folks here are pointing out that the White House is dancing with Aryanism but I think forgetting that the Immaculate Conception is mostly about Mary and secondarily about Jesus...
ok it’s legitimately funny that they can’t even throw red meat to Catholics without falling into heresy

you're telling me a right-wing catholic convert is just a protestant in disguise? shocked
In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

Yes…it’s definitely the illegals buying up the houses and definitely not shady investors
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

This has everything: zoning issues, city lawsuits, and billionaires ruining everything as usual
Incredible reporting from @carolinehaskins.bsky.social about a school Mark Zuckerberg opened on his Palo Alto compound and operated for years with no permits, permissions, anything at all
Mark Zuckerberg Opened an Illegal School at His Palo Alto Compound. His Neighbors Revolted
Neighbors complained about noise, security guards, and hordes of traffic. An unlicensed school named after the Zuckerbergs’ pet chicken tipped them over the edge.

They’re stopping it to pocket it. To cause civil unrest. To divide the nation. To bankrupt the farmers so they can take their lands. To weed out the poor, sick and elderly. And to control the population.
And they’ll still take the healthcare and raise the prices regardless of it all.

I’m not sure what to take from some of the comments from city council. These are all in audited numbers reviewed and posted each March.
Do they just want to privatize this or do they just not understand the financial relationship Electric and the City?

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

This is a photo of Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri at the turn of the 20th century. The walls were painted by a surgeon who wanted to give patients something to look at while they waited for their anesthesia. A beautiful merging of art and medicine.

This is something like the ninth ped/bike death in the #STL area in a week. Where are all the leaders and self-described advocates around this issue? Why the deafening silence and appalling lack of real action to hold increasingly violent and reckless drivers accountable?

What an easy way to support areas affected by the tornado.
If you’ve never been to Delmar Maker District, it’s a perfect for dinner before Shakespeare in the Park/Muny or lunch before the Zoo
Heck, it’s even a 10 minute drive from Busch Stadium, great stop before or after a Cards game this summer.

Talked with a team working with businesses recovering from the tornado that have reopened - they are reporting their businesses are 1/10 what they used to be now they've reopened. Worried that we reopen on 6/17 only to close both locations by fall.
