This is awesome.

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

BUT HER EMAILS.

TIL there was a Pope Lando.

JD Vance’s sister begs people to stop joking about his visit with the Pope

Come at me, you incompetent boob. You're a terrible President who is bad at his job and your policies are bad for the country and the world at large. The people you hired are talentless morons who have no idea what they are doing. Your administration runs on hate and benefits only the wealthy.

My brother reminded me that we were in Rome when Pope John XXIII was lying in state and our mother wouldn't let us go see him. I was 6.

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

"There is almost no proof that Vance is responsible for the death of Pope Francis. All we know is that the vice president met with the pope, and a few hours later, the pope was dead. To draw a line between those two facts would almost definitely be a little bit premature."

Start the clock

i hope this conclave is like the one in the movie conclave

if I had to meet jd vance I too would simply pass away

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

If I had done anything like this when I was a junior officer I would have been court martialed.

An excellent piece by Ryan Holiday. “Let’s educate ourselves if we are going to run a free government.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/o...
