One more thing on this. Given my connection to Bluesky, every week multiple people ping me with some variation of "I can't believe Bluesky doesn't have this feature that it absolutely needs and you guys are so stupid that you haven't built it yet."

@jcm444.bsky.social in the early 70s my brother had these bumper stickers made up with this Camus quote, "I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice." He was a City Court Judge...his slogan was...justice has no party labels. He was 15 years my senior. He taught me justice.

A new pope has been chosen. An American. Very significant given the threats from Washington. The first Pope Leo negotiated with Attila the Hun and turned him back from sacking Rome. I hope Pope Leo has the same fortitude for the bandit leaders today. Prayers and hope in a dark time.
