Semi Professional Button Masher

[F1 Speed Indonesia @f1speed_indo]

🚨 FIA menerima permintaan klarifikasi dari Red Bull RBPT perihal hasil ADUO yang menempatkan mereka sebagai pabrikan dengan mesin terkuat.

FIA akan melakukan peninjauan ulang serta menjanjikan transparansi proses terhadap penentuan ranking alokasi ADUO.

Laurent Mekies: "dari apa yang kami lihat, yang jelas Mercedes jauh di atas kami."

Peninjauan ulang ini bukan berarti alokasi ADUO-nya akan berubah. Namun FIA hanya ingin memastikan bahwa metode yang mereka pakai dalam menentukan ranking power mesin itu benar atau ada kesalahan.

Walah, walah 😅😅😅

CARDINAL PIZZABALLA AT THE HOLY SEPULCHRE ON EASTER SUNDAY:

'No people, no language, no history is excluded from this hope. If death has been conquered, then no life is “too lost” to be sought. Easter is universal because it is born in a specific, concrete, real place—here—and for this very reason it can truly reach the whole world. 

This is not an abstract thought. We are standing in the place where the stone was rolled away, yet we know all too well that many stones remain sealed around us. Too many tombs have been dug again by hatred, violence, and retaliation. In this Holy Land, which is the mother of faith and has also become a land of constant conflict, the question resounds with dramatic force: “Where have you laid him?” For it seems that we place the Lord back in a tomb every time we believe that death has the final word over history, every time we resign ourselves to the logic of the enemy, every time we call an armed truce “peace” and the calculation of damage “justice.” 

But Easter tells us this: the Risen One is not confined within our strategies for survival. He is a prisoner neither of our reasoning nor of our fears. He has already gone forth, and he goes before us'

This is exactly why Paul writes that the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of men.

Sometimes I try to imagine how fatal a mistake it would have been if God had given Israel the warrior-king messiah they desperately wanted. That would have been the most amateur move in history. Jesus would have been one of many strong men, and strong men are the most perishable thing on earth.

Strength intrinsically depreciates. Every generation redefines it upward. Improved technology means faster and cheaper ways to kill more people, and there will always be someone more powerful coming behind you. The power model has a ceiling. It always has.

God chose differently. Jesus did not conquer by force. He was executed by the people with the force. And 2000 years later he is still being followed. His teachings still shape ethics, civilization, and the moral imagination of billions of us. He stands in a class of his own not in spite of the non-violence but precisely cos of it.

Juxtapose him against the most vicious warlord in recorded history and he stands out. Juxtapose him against the most peaceful statesman alive today and he still stands out. Nothing touches him on either end of the spectrum.

Durant who Bibi quotes was describing history, not eternity.

Jesus said the meek shall inherit the earth and in doing so he was revealing a logic that runs deeper than any military strategy. The cross looked like defeat and foolishness to everyone watching. But in reality it was the most decisive victory ever recorded. God is amazing in his wisdom!

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” (James 1:17)

If this is true, then every good thing we enjoy in this world; from the brilliance of the sun, to the quiet mercy of sleep, has descended from God.

You may choose to believe this or not.
But the Christian claim has never been that God reserves His goodness for those who acknowledge Him. The sun rises on the believer and the unbeliever alike. Relief, provision, beauty, friendship, breath itself, these gifts move freely through the world cos the One who gives them is generous by nature.

The heart of the gospel rests on exactly that generosity. The Bible says that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

God did not wait for belief before extending His mercy. He moved toward those who were still far from Him. If His faithfulness were reserved only for those who already believed, there would be no Christians at all, cos every believer first received His grace while standing outside it.

That is why the presence of good gifts in the lives of unbelievers does not embarrass the Christian claim, if anything it confirms it. The goodness scattered through this world was never meant to prove our righteousness. It is a reflection of His character.

Which is also why the most sobering idea in Christianity is not the imagery people typically attach to hell. The deeper horror is that if God is truly the source from which every good thing flows, then separation from Him is not merely punishment. It is the withdrawal of every gift we spent our whole lives receiving without knowing who sent them.

In this life, believer and unbeliever alike live surrounded by His generosity. The only question that remains is whether, when this life ends, we will still know the Giver.

«The misunderstanding»

[☩ 𝕁𝕄𝕋 ☩ @SecretFire79]

You know, it’s funny when people hear that Pope Leo XIV has a math degree, taught physics, and wrote a thesis on monastic leadership, they act like it's some wild plot twist. The Catholic Church has always been low-key obsessed with education. I mean, did you know nearly every pope since the Renaissance has had a PhD? Benedict XVI had five. Cardinals today basically need doctorate-level expertise to even get a seat at the table. Leo XIV isn't an outlier; he's following a 2,000-year-old playbook where faith and reason are BFFs. This is the same institution that gave us the Big Bang theory (thanks to a Jesuit priest, Georges Lemaître) and the guy who invented genetics (shoutout to Gregor Mendel, the pea-plant-obsessed Augustinian friar). Yet somehow, we still think of the Church as just incense and hymns.

The Church's duality; defending doctrinal tradition while pioneering intellectual frontiers, is its defining paradox. Consider the Vatican's astronomical observatory, which has operated since 1582, or the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, which has included members like Hawking and Einstein.

Let's break it down. Those monks and nuns you picture copying manuscripts in candlelit monasteries? They weren't just praying, they were preserving ancient Greek philosophy, advancing math, and basically saving Western civilisation during the Dark Ages. Fast-forward to today, and the Vatican still runs its own space telescope (yes, really, Jesuit brothers track asteroids). The Chúrch condemned Galileo, sure, but now it funds ethical stem-cell research and partners with IBM on AI ethics. It's like the ultimate comeback story: "Oops, we messed up on heliocentrism; here's a think tank on quantum physics."

And let's talk about those religious orders. Jesuits? They basically invented the modern university system. The Jesuits founded in 1540, by a chap called Ignatius Loyala, (half monk, half soldier) ran over 800 universities globally. Franciscans gave us Occam's Razor; you know, that "simplest explanation is best" rule you learned in science class? That came from a 14th-century friar who loved logic more than the Pope loved his fancy hat. The Dominicans had Thomas Aquinas, who merged Aristotle's philosophy with theology. Augustinians, Leo XIV's crew, were all about community and critical thinking, traits he took to Peru, where he spent 20 years teaching in slums while quietly holding dual citizenship. The guy's got more layers than a medieval manuscript.

But here's the upper-cut: the Church thrives on this weird paradox. It's conservative enough to make your grandma nod approvingly ("No women priests? Classic.") but progressive enough to have a Pope who trash-talks eco deniers and slams border politics. Leo XIV fits right in; he's a Republican primary voter who also called Trump's family separations "illicit," a social media critic who warns bishops not to be divisive online. It's like the Church says, "We'll debate evolution with Darwinians by day and chant Latin psalms by night and we'll look good doing both."

So next time someone acts shocked that a pope knows quantum physics or tweets about refugees, just smile. The Catholic Church has been playing 4D chess with knowledge for centuries. It's not a relic; it's a living library, where friars argue about black holes over breakfast and nuns run coding bootcamps. Leo XIV? He's just the latest chapter in a story where faith doesn't fear science…It fuels it.
