We've got priests right now! Priests and pastors and imams and rabbis and vicars and unemployed guys named Gus who read a lot of Spinoza.
And ALL of them would love to talk to you about god. You don't even have to go to their thing, they're just happy to help!

This is far worse than anyone expected.
Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.
All as mass internment camps are being built.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.
SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.
Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.
People need & deserve assistance
Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich
Be mad about that

I’m still pissed - and gutted.
The donor list for Trump’s White House ballroom felt overwhelming — like how do we even begin to protest this?
So I broke it down into small, doable actions. If you’re upset too, here’s how you can push back — even in 5-10 min chunks.

As one who has called out bad poll questions in emails from my rep and senator, I will give Rep. Onder credit for a straight forward question in today's email. Rep. Onder may be a doctor but when he talks about issues of sex, gender, hormones, it is obvious there are things he doesn't understand.

Jewish law & Bible scholarship don't think the word in the 10 Commandments for "steal" is about, like, shoplifting.
Look at eg Genesis 40:15, Exodus 21:16 , Deuteronomy 24:7--
the commandment is not to steal people. Don't kidnap.
Though you shouldn't need the Bible to teach you that. #AbolishICE

If you are masking to protect yourself and others from covid, you are on the BLEEDING EDGE of public health science.
"COVID is airborne" marks a significant shift in science, and it's not the covid bit that's the revelation, it's the fact that DISEASE is airborne that's a revelation.

All of this is NEW to us! I know it doesn't seem that new to covid-aware people who have been masking for 5+ years, but the general public DOESN'T KNOW what airborne transmission means, or they just tune out because they don't know how to deal with it.

Pope Leo: the Catholic Church’s ‘preferential option for the poor’ … is non-negotiable and is the very essence of what it means to be Christian. He calls for a renewed commitment to fixing the structural causes of poverty, while providing unquestioning charity to those who need it. ⚓️
Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

....this makes sense.
sociologically, this trend has been prefigured for years by the social willingness to ask online groups of amateur strangers for advice as though they know what they're talking about.
LLMs are parasitic on that behavior both for training data and for social habit.
