Not sure why on every new Papacy we end up running through this phase of shock on discovering thst the Pope is, actually, a Catholic.
New Pope Leo blasts non-religious people, saying (quite shockingly) that 'lack of faith' comes from 'the loss of meaning in life, the neglect of mercy, appalling violations of human dignity'
We'll remain composed in the face of such abject nastiness, but it's untrue to say the least
We'll remain composed in the face of such abject nastiness, but it's untrue to say the least
A hateful thing to say. People whose approach to life is not faith-based have done enormous good, majority non-religious societies have been some of the strongest proponents of human dignity and solidarity. Why is the BBC just printed this unchallenged? If it's "news", it should be balanced.

trying to imagine how loud the calls for my firing would be if i didn’t know who FDR was
a good example of how the world is getting dumber. the new politico playbook writer didn't know who FDR was until a reader told him about that whole "new deal" thing. this newsletter is read by every important person in DC.

“hole in the ozone layer” levels of erasure. my mom was a project manager who busted her ass for years to make sure IBM was ready for Y2K and completely succeeded, only for it to get turned into a late night joke. funny how the stories of mass collective action to avoid disaster rarely get told
DAMMIT NPR.
I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded.
Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.

I think I used about 80% of my jokes…didn’t get to this one: “Dan, Joe Burrow is tremendous. He’s amazing. I’m running out of synonyms…oh no I’m losing my perscipacity!”
Mina shares that she bought a pretty sick Simpsons book months in advance and kept a Notes app going to jot down references
She then bucketed those into potential scenarios that may come up during the game. The end result was several printed pages of material that may or may not be used
