Pope Leo XIV: ‘There Couldn’t Be A Better Time To Get The Fuck Out Of America Forever’

Genuinely has anyone *ever* been owned so badly as a man who converts to a new religion as an adult and sorta makes it his whole thing only to see the literal head of that religion rebuke his entire deal and then they choose the NEXT head of the religion specifically because he doesn't like you

so the Pope is with the Dalai Lama on a nondenominational world peace tour & they stop in Chicago. The pope takes the Lama to his favorite hot dog stand, says, you gotta try it, this guy's the best. the guy says "What can I getcha, Your Holiness?" & the Dalai Lama says "Make me one with everything."

Wow is this how I found out I didn't get the job? A fucking chimney?

“I asked ChatGPT” yeah well I made one of these and asked it, checkmate

Amusing ourselves to death by Neil Postman is depressing. Which means I’ll write like an almost 10k word essay based on how much this book has made me think.

I guarantee you’re a better writer than ChatGPT. Never butcher your own writing or relinquish your own voice to put your name on the dead-eyed, mechanical hallucinations of a bunch of 1s and 0s. People who know good writing and AI have no trouble recognizing AI-generated garbage.

some people go on vacations to sightsee and go on beautiful hikes but nancy mace flies around the country looking at bathrooms

BREAKING: Voters in Lincoln, Nebraska, have approved a measure to ban landlords from discriminating against prospective tenants based on the source of their income. This will help protect people who pay their rent via Section 8 vouchers, for instance.

Only 3 teams have come back from down 7+ in the last minute of a playoff game since 1997. Thunder on May 13, 2014 Pacers on April 29, 2025 (7 days ago) Pacers on May 6, 2025 (tonight)

Acerbi levels it again

Frattesi gives Inter the lead

This is terribly disappointing. The trans military ban (1) facially discriminates on the basis of sex and gender identity with only pretextual and in some cases afactual justifications; (2) deprives trans servicemembers of due process by separating them without individualized assessments;

we ask why won't they retire, but to them, congress IS their retirement home

new for @starledger.bsky.social, health reporter Jackie Roman and I spent a couple of months speaking with former and current inmates about what they called unsafe and “dirty” water quality at #NewJersey prisons. Activists, including @cleanwaternj.bsky.social, are calling for an investigation

This entire series has been the best example Houston will ever get for why they have to improve the offense this offseason. Timelines matter, but this team is already REALLY good. Go get an offensive player to boost you. Otherwise, you might get stuck at really good vs great.

That play is why the NBA needs a soccer style "advantage" judgement for officials.

Every Houston basket feels like a little miracle.

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

kuminga?

Oh man kuminga

wait what

idubbbz might be the first guy to be viciously cancelled by people for stopping being edgy and racist

Buddy has 2x more points than Steph and Jimmy combined Just as we all predicted

THEY'VE DONE IT! #SportingKC defeats the LA Galaxy 1-0 and becomes the first team in MLS history to win a game without registering a single shot. Unbelievable. But a win is a win!

WHAT? Lmao

if only someone had written about this years ago www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

I hope everyone working on LLMs has reckoned with their role in building a technology that, so far, has offered little to no benefit to humanity — while causing real harm by degrading art, undermining labor in creative industries, and straight up automating political propaganda

Pope Ronald preaching a crusade, enlisting Burger King and his knights to retake McDonaldland.

So many Democrats treat voters like they’re stupid, and voters pick up on that and respond. Always effective to communicate to voters that you think they know more than pols think they do and shepherd that reality into being / blossoming

All of this for some students watching a documentary on campus. Fucking ridiculous.
