A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

Dear MAGA dumbfucks:

NEW: The music distribution platform SoundCloud updated its terms of service to allow it to use artists' uploaded music to train AI. The change quietly went into effect last year. It looks like a lot of SoundCloud users were caught off guard. futurism.com/soundcloud-a...

It takes a village to stone a man to death based on a lottery of mysterious provenance.

I cannot more enthusiastically encourage Stephen Miller and Ben Shapiro to give this a shot

Conclusion to a detailed thread about Öztürk's hearing today.

🚨 Disturbing footage shows the brutal arrest of a terrified 16-year-old girl—sobbing, screaming as “ICE agents” abducted her mom without a warrant or ID. At least 4 grown men slammed her face into the pavement. This is child abuse. This is state terror. Worcester police are complicit.

I have only seen a Golden-winged Warbler three other times in my life, and this was by far the best views I have had of one. A delightful little warbler 💛

Right?

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

marx rotating in his grave like a rotisserie chicken upon the utterance of the phrase "marxist pope"

How about this? Anyone who believes trans people shouldn't be allowed to serve in the military should have to serve in the military.

Maybe to the letter of the law that's true, but when you drink with a Jesuit you might remember they burned witches.

I can't believe we have a Pope from Illinois. People from Chicago usually hate the Cardinals.

American conservatives calling the pope woke and Marxist is a great indicator for people who don’t realize just how unhinged American conservatives have gotten

Last week, our team was in rural Maine, talking to counselors and students at Mill Stream Elementary about the value of mental health services in schools. Then, last Wednesday night, as we were on the road home the Trump administration announced cuts... www.npr.org/2025/05/07/n...

Why did they call it bacon fat and not oinkment omg I'm so sorry

a breakfast burrito is the most important burrito of the day

everyone younger than you is cooler than you and you're cooler than everyone who's older than you

the youth don't like me as much as they objectively should, further proof for my "things changing is bad and should be prevented" hypothesis

Just once I'd like to pass out on a tiny raft and be lost in an indifferent sea, only awaken to a wizard nursing me to health on an unspoiled natural island

Black smoke means the new pope is the smoke monster from LOST

ok false alarm the sistine chapel diesel generator kicked on

i hope the orcas learn to fly the f-18s

2 pope 2 virtuous: up in smoke

you're laughing? F/A-18 super hornets make a slide whistle noise when they fall off aircraft carriers and you're laughing??

i changed the dog’s diaper and let the baby outside to go to the bathroom and oh no what have i done

English language really cooked with “notwithstanding”

Three things birds can do better than me 1. Fly 2. Find worms 3. Get up early

hey siri why don’t you ever initiate

Hilarious statement from the inventor of presidential immunity

Weird how Biden only started to cause problems after he left office. Also, good luck blaming the failures on the literal Rhodes Scholar who used to run the department and not the Real World/Fox News alumnus you swapped in for him.

"Israel killed nearly two-thirds of the 124 journalists who died around the world in 2024" - you would imagine this would cause a commotion in the world of news journalism, wouldn't you.

Big news today: Bill Gates will wind down the Gates Foundation in 2045, earlier than previously planned, with accelerated giving over the next 20 years. “There are too many urgent problems to solve for me to hold onto resources that could be used to help people." www.statnews.com/2025/05/08/b...

In response, Musk will call him "a pedo" before the day is out.

Green horsefly lass getting a little sugar before the salt 👀

Floaty fuz-bum 🤍

Got to watch this fierce young Tutelina lass on the hunt yesterday, waiting for just the right ant. A large sandhill carpenter ant managed to evade her, but judging by the population density of these spiders on site, there are a lot of successful hunts (they prey on ants almost exclusively)!

Gull-billed tern yesterday at the Salton Sea. She was yelling at her mate, who was flying back and forth above a canal, trying to find her something to eat. I know I'm projecting, but I swear he looked more and more frustrated as his hunt continued. I didn't stay to see if he got lucky. 🪶

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

in the end, the thing that bit most about reality was what a disappointment genx turned out to be

The DOGE Dipshits really are overachievers. Most kids reach their mid-20s without having killed a single person, much less generated a global wave of death and suffering.

got fired from my job as an usher at Carnegie Hall because every time someone asked how to get to the bathroom I just yelled PRACTICE in their face and punched them

Like a 17 year cicada, I spend most of my life underground emerging only to grow wings, scream my ass off, and get busy

pretty cool how the inventor of chips and dip was like, "but i want to eat the spoon"
