Opus DEI?

This is new and it's BS... if there's a positive thing that's manliness*, even in an aspirational understanding, it's stepping up to do what's needful, like our ancestors did or we wouldn't be here.

This new antisocial thing feels not only like a trap but a scam somehow, I'm just not sure

His face is wrong, just as a face.

1. What’s the old saying about the definition of crazy? Doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results, right? Well, that’s where we are with the president’s war against Iran. He’s clearly insane. The only question is when enough people figure it out.

This world is satire. You crossed over at some point and can never go back.

“It’s amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.”

The banality of evil, lade bare.

I ♥️ this!!

Iran is a country run by religious fanatics.

I don’t think we need a referendum. We just need a government with the courage to go ahead and act in the UK’s best interests, regardless of a minority of braying thugs.

"The only thing they have is history"

That's a quote for the ages. Just about sums the man up.

Abdulla is a prominent and well-respected voice with deep connections in the UAE whom I’ve followed for many years. His statement here is significant:

'How Not To Drown' Donald Trump is taking no part in leadership: he was always an absentee POTUS (his disastrous Executive Orders and goofy Resolute Desk ‘media time’ notwithstanding), but he seems to have lost any appe...

“Adderall is being used to make the Leader of the Free World feel in control of what I believe is a lifelong undiagnosed learning disability - of which of course, there is no shame, but I believe his family chose to hide it instead of dealing with it when he was a child.” open.substack.com/pub/noel

Kauna Malgwi, a former worker at Sama, said: “This issue is not confined to one company or contract. It shows how the global AI industry is shaped. Power sits with large technology companies. Risk flows downward, affecting outsourced workers, often in the global south, who have the least protection”

Listen guys. It’s been fun. But I’m going to head out to my local and do some research on becoming FBI Director.

Catch you.

Maybe Republicans are right. Has the pope even read the Bible? | Opinion Is it just me or does it seem like Pope Leo XIV won't stop talking about religion? But is the head of the global Catholic Church really an expert?
