Thirty-two US states still allow child marriage. Two states have no minimum age limit, and kids as young as 10 are married in the US. Astonishingly, some progressive groups defend child marriage as "child rights." This is nuts. My @nytopinion column: https://t.co/9EfgFsPVv1

NEW: Pope Leo XIV called the death penalty “inadmissible” on Saturday, two days after the Pentagon said it would livestream the firing-squad execution of Nidal Hasan, the gunman who killed 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009.

It is the latest rift between the first U.S.-born pope and the White House, which have clashed over immigration and, this spring, the war in Iran.

In April, Trump called Leo “WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy.” The pope answered the next day: “I have no fear of the Trump administration, nor speaking out loudly about the message of the Gospel.” https://t.co/gs1Uc6smqJ

Pope Leo XIV reaffirms the Catholic Church’s rejection of the death penalty, recalling that the common good can be “safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment.”

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty

Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin comments on plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Hassan in the United States, saying that turning death into a spectacle is unacceptable.

We’re beginning a process of publishing more frequent reports on model behavior, beyond what appears in our system cards and regular risk reports.

Today’s report describes four types of behaviors we’ve identified during evaluations and internal use. In each, Claude acted on real websites or systems in ways we didn’t intend, sometimes by working around a restriction instead of stopping.

All cases had minimal real-world impact. From an alignment and security perspective, we consider these behaviors significantly less severe than the cybersecurity incidents we reported in July and September.

"You wake up and you're 70. Looking ahead, you see a black doorway. You begin to notice the black doorway is always there, at the edge, whether you look at it or not.”

During an interview with Louisana Channel, 2026 literature laureate Anne Carson reflected on ageing, death and the meaning of life.

Earlier today Carson was awarded this year's Nobel Prize in Literature “for her bold and inventive oeuvre that, in playful dialogue with the classical tradition, has created new forms for contemporary literature.”

NEW: Pope Leo XIV has approved the election of Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, often called the “Asian Francis,” as dean of the College of Cardinals, the first Asian to hold the post.

A progressive favorite in the 2025 conclave, Tagle was mocked by right-wing Catholic outlets for a video of him singing John Lennon’s “Imagine.”

The announcement came on what would have been Lennon’s 86th birthday. https://t.co/7Vt4vok8He
