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! www.npr.org/2025/05/09/g...

This is the right approach — speak to them as you would an especially stupid child, spell out their crimes and your contempt clearly.

When my parents got married, their marriage was illegal in seven states. That’s how recent this shift is: my (still living) parents could not visit some states for the first four years of their marriage.

Vance going to meet the pope, the pope -immediately- dying, and the conclave then -immediately- electing a new pope who’s pretty unknown except for tweets about how much he dislikes Vance, is some Shakespearean revenge drama and I am here for it

If you're going to read two Kosmos 482 stories, I'd selfishly like one of them to be my writeup for Forbes. But if you're only going to read one, you should definitely make it this excellent piece by @drspacejunk.bsky.social.

When I said that genAI is inherently fascist, this is what I meant -- not just that only fascists are making use of genAI, but that genAI has a specific aesthetic that is now inseparable from modern fascism. Both genAI and fascists are anti-art, and as such they are ideologically aligned.

Since Trump took office, his family has made $2.9 billion in crypto. Again, this is a level of corruption so cartoonish, so obvious & on the surface, that it seems to have stunned everyone to silence.

The promise of AI efficiency should always be followed up with “efficient for whom?” Considering that illustrators are more efficient than ever and yet wages have not increased in 80 years.

BREAKING: Judge Richard Myers rules that the N.C. Supreme Court's handling of the state supreme court election violated the U.S. Constitution. The win for Justice Riggs, a Democrat, is to be certified. Today's ruling stayed for 7 days for Judge Griffin, a Republican, to appeal "if he so chooses."

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races. And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards. I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.

Now that Trump has scrapped the de minimis exception for goods under $800, if you’re ordering from our store in the USA you’ll be charged a tariff by customs. As we’re in Northern Ireland I’ve no idea if it’s 10% or 20%. Either way our stuff is still pretty keenly priced. thelifeofsharks.com

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

BONE! This is so dope. Looney Tunes get thrown out of the cartoon world and into high fantasy? Incredible premise. Sharp writing, super expressive art. Very funny, very human. No notes. I think I needed this right now. @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social I'm just a bit late to the party, but huge props!

I was laid off today from my day job of almost eight years. I helped guide the company from a scrappy startup to part of Bristol Myers Squibb, and we saved some lives by doing crazy science fiction shit. If you’re an editor who needs a comics writer, now’s a good time to give me a call.

Magical thinking, that if a “good mom” tries really REALLY hard, she’ll be able to personally know the right steps to make her child safe. And prosperity gospel, where if she “fails” by the child experiencing hardship, they deserve it bc she didn’t try hard enough.

Canada has a tough choice to make today. We have to vote between our current prime minister who is well respected and already helping our country through a very difficult period -or- a weirdly damp guy who wants to take away our rights and sell our country to another country.
