If Pope Leo is in fact successfully able to run the right-wing larping phenomenon out of Christianity he should be canonized immediately after death, no further questions asked
The Arizona Coyotes basically died because it’s impossible to get fans to drive 40+ minutes a night for a 41-game season the way fans will suck up driving for 8 NFL games.
Somewhat different situation, but moving this far — even within the market — is very risky
Listen, we are not going to leave the Earth. The Earth is life. Bezos & Musk are against Life, they are against the Earth. The quest to leave the Earth is an ego trap for men who are too dumb to grasp their own immortality as children of the Earth. That way lies nothing but Death
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
An important rule of thumb. If a revolt is a genuine revolt for the people, to increase the power of the people, global media will ignore and suppress it.
If a revolt is organised and funded by US imperialism to overthrow an inconvenient or opposing govt, it will be everywhere.
I have been saying for more than a year that everyone at the top of the US war machine is coked to the gills and also geeked up on modafinil and dex, but mainstream opinion is still basically unaware of this disturbing reality
Even more than in the past, it is clear today that the proliferation of armed conflicts is often driven by the exploitation of oil and mineral deposits, with no regard for international law or the self-determination of peoples.
Faith does not separate the spiritual from the social. It gives Christians the strength to interact with the world and to respond to the needs of others, especially the weakest. What is needed for the salvation of a community is a communal commitment, which integrates the spiritual and moral dimensions of the Gospel in the heart of local institutions and structures, making them instruments for the common good, not places of conflict, self-interest, or sterile struggles. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon
🇻🇦🇩🇿 To every Christian supporting Israel's "right" to colonize Palestinian land :
Today in Algeria, a nation that endured 132 years of French colonization and genocide, Pope Leo XIV said :
“Our presence here pays tribute to the spirit of a people who fought for their independence, dignity and sovereignty. […]
God desires peace for every nation : a peace that is not merely the absence of conflict, but an expression of justice and dignity.”
Colonization is a crime, whether in
Algeria yesterday or in Palestine today.
Peace without justice is hypocrisy.
What part of this don’t you understand?
