everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"
We are looking at a painting of St Liphardus - a 6th-century lawyer, hermit and abbot in Meung-sur-Loire near Orléans, France. He is wearing bishops clothing including a surplus and mitre and is holding a crook. On a lead is a small knee high green and blue dragon.
We’re very sorry sir but you cannot bring your emotional support dragon in here.
"I did what anyone should do—I raised the alarm. Thomson Reuters’ response was to fire me.” www.404media.co/thomson-reut...
I suspect this is going to end with Christians begging for the reestablishment of separation of Church and State.
You’re telling me!
This show is ad free.
He’s basically saying that because folks are still buying food and stuff, and because CEOs are making bank by price gouging, that actually people feel really good about the economy.
And if that isn’t bad enough, he’s saying it while cosplaying the dude from Monopoly.
Good lord.
Looking at widespread anger and declaring that, deep down, people actually love you is some King Charles I nonsense.
As I'm learning from @thebhp.bsky.social , you used to have to wait months for this kind of shade to go back and forth between the Pope and a head of state. Thanks to modern technology we're getting a dose of it every day.
We’re going full 12th century up in here.
Up next: Miller, Hegseth, and Vance are going to tell Trump that actually (in secret) the Pope totally supports him.
Bartender: I’m cutting you off.
Drunk guy: Ahm cuttin YOU awf! Now gimme’nother!!
National review: Before we adjudicate this quarrel…
This was a very satisfying watch
The federal government – ICE, FBI, and more – is spying on you without a warrant.
This week, Congress will decide whether Kash Patel, Stephen Miller and Trump can keep spying on Americans. If that scares you (it should) this thread is for you.
Conan rules. Also that soundtrack slaps. And yeah, I think I would also have been fine if I saw it at seven or eight.
My answer is The Babadook.
Granted, I was 38 when I saw it, but I was still too young. Still am.
Sam Altman: Why do people hate AI companies so much?
AI company: Hi, we violated your site's permissions, scraped your show, and made an LLM based on you at Podrewind which we'll then charge you rent for. You're welcome!
Me:
Absolutely not. The show will remain free and independent. AI doesn't get to take that away from people.
However, these companies are a plague and I can't wait for the bubble to pop.
Hey gang, so AI continues to scrape my show with wild abandon.
I've updated some of the site protections to tell the LLMs and bots to knock it off but I'm always wary when I make changes like this.
So, if you have trouble getting to the site, or getting the episodes, please let me know.
The absence of influential nuns in his life is screamingly palpable.
People talking about JD being excommunicated have clearly forgotten about canon 1373:
"A person who publicly incites his or her subjects to hatred or animosity against the Apostolic See ... or who provokes the subjects to disobedience against them, is to be punished by interdict ..."
It's so funny to me that right-wingers love to pretend to love the Middle Ages and the Crusades and all that and then complain that the Pope shouldn't get involved in politics.
Disappointed, though not surprised, I began to describe various life- saving components of USAID’s global health portfolio, highlighting how we prepare for and respond to emerging pandemic threats; support the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV; and immunize millions of children from the deadliest childhood diseases. I spoke for about five minutes, focusing primarily on our infectious diseases work and hoping to keep the attention of people who seemed to have no experience—or interest—in global health. When I finished, the room was silent, the political appointees looking at one another in what appeared to be disbelief. The silence was broken by Ken Jackson, who chuckled softly and shook his head. “Wow, there really is so much that USAID does that we never knew,” he said. “This is the story that needs to get out there.” Joel, also smiling, chimed in next, echoing Jackson’s amazement. “I had no idea you did all this,” he said. “As a Republican, when I think of what USAID does in global health, I assumed it was just, you know, abortions.”
This is NUTS

US Joins Iran in Blockading the Strait of Hormuz
Vance achieved the unthinkable in just 12 hours of negotiations with Iran.
This surely will be the highlight of his diplomatic career.
You know you’re a huge nerd if you have to pause in the middle of a chore bc you’re laughing too hard at the choice of a musical sting in the latest episode of @thebhp.bsky.social 😂 ⛵️
Same. The wild thing about corporations forcing Ai into everything is that it’s making everyone learn exactly how bad these things are.
I had no idea that was an option! Yay!
Look at this question that I just got for the Q&A!
"If you could have any episode made a movie, where every character except one was played by muppets, which episode would it be and who would play the single human?"
Sheer genius. And Zee and I are already discussing our picks.
More of this, plz.
