A sad update from the peace talks in Pakistan: after 21 hours of discussions with JD Vance, the Iranian delegation have killed themselves

Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope." Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war. A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic. Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope. https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib3-cann747-755_en.html"

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

hello 👋 i have developed a new tool called blüuümpíi. blüuümpíi will convert every file on your hard drive to a .wav file without asking you, maximize your system volume, and play them on every bluetooth speaker you have ever connected to. if you offer feedback on blüuümpíi i will take legal action

It’s the same reason abuse is so prevalent within the Catholic Church. Celibacy, shame, and secrecy create perfect storm for abuse and criminality.

The culture of repression and secrecy is a massive attractor for anti social personalities.

we're really approaching a perfect storm of factors designed to drive up the costs of everything right now while simultaneously undermining the spending power of the global consumer economy. i'm not saying that to doom, it's not like nothing can be done, but we're looking at years of ramifications.

See you can’t say we live in hell anymore either because then you just get a hoard mustachio’d 30 something former youth leaders going “I KNOW! This is “the bad place” lol.”

Nothing has meaning anymore. Dante’s Inferno was a roadmap to our future.

That’s fine too, pros and cons to both approaches but either would be a massive step in the right direction.

Step 1 is to just gather all the taxes we currently don’t right now. Just take all the money we gave to ice and give it to the IRS to hire an army of lawyers and accountants.

Any non-liquid untaxed asset used as collateral for a loan is automatically considered income and has to be taxed as such.

Calling this guy an engineer is seriously straining the capacity of that word’s definition.

Why the fuck did he spell shill with a c.

Can we all agree that this movie was great?

Why? What does that matter in the scope of american politics? its a nice tradition but I don't think those traditions hold any weight with voters. What will it matter that she didn't do those things the night of the race she lost, two years from now?

ah yes, a taste of the old country. like drinking crushed blarny stones i'm sure

104 in a house in SF is wild.

I love how people haven’t wrapped their mind around how cooked we are. 54% of the country reads a sixth grade level or worse. That’s why the right is so good at manipulating the narrative, that’s why we can’t fix anything in this country. The voters have the average intelligence of a 12 year old.

What does going or not going do? It would be like Nancy tearing up blank paper in the house. Meaningless performative politics

Guys he’s being sued for a penalty, not prison time. He’ll pay for the undercut he got on the $150 million of Twitter stock and that’s it. There’s no jail time coming for this.

I've seen a lot of posts about how shitty the bomb was and folks, if someone makes a bomb that blows up when they want it to blow up they are automatically in the top like, 1% of bomb-guys

Every podcast I don’t listen to is called “Achieving the Limit with Duff and Ween” and gets sold for 300 million dollars while every podcast I do listen to is called “The Movie Toilet” and begs me to buy a t shirt so they can eat food

In Arizona we solved this problem by sending our deeply disappointing NHL team to Utah. What would that be for you guys, Vermont?

So you’re going to blame Palestinian Americans who had to pick between the two people who would enable the genocide. Just one would do it and feel real bad about it and maybe wag a finger in Israel’s general direction?

I agree no one will know how to read or write in 20 years but unclear why millennials think that because of this they'll rule as philosopher kings. What about the trajectory of the world makes you think these skills will be valued. At best you'll have a Gen Alpha boss who keeps you as an amusing pet

What you want people to use condemnations of Hamas as punctuation in between saying that Israel shouldn’t kill 20,000 children to get a few military age males? Wtf is this take?

Would you mind informing the DNC, they seem cool with blaming trans people/allies, Palestinian genocide opposers, and illegal immigrants.
