Louis Prevost, brother of Pope Leo XIV, clarified that while the new pope is more liberal than himself, he will not pursue radical changes and intends to maintain the reforms initiated by Pope Francis.
Prevost emphasized that Pope Leo XIV will not overturn the changes made by Pope Francis and is unlikely to endorse major doctrinal shifts such as the ordination of women or the approval of same-sex marriage, aligning with the Church's traditional views.
Prevost predicted potential tensions but no significant conflict between Pope Leo XIV and President Trump, comparing their relationship to Trump's interactions with other leaders. He highlighted the pope's potential role as a mediator and peacemaker, suggesting a balanced and pragmatic approach to international relations.
Prevost defended his controversial social media post about Nancy Pelosi but acknowledged the need to "tone it down" to avoid creating challenges for his brother. He indicated a shift in his approach to avoid provocative comments that could impact the pope's reputation.
The interview suggests that Pope Leo XIV will adopt a centrist approach, balancing tradition with modernity. His commitment to continuity and pragmatic leadership is expected to provide stability and direction for the Church during uncertain times.
Tesla now accepts Cybertruck trade-ins, and the official resale loss is $35k over just 6,000 miles. I repeat: according to Tesla itself a Cybertruck loses $5.60 cents per mile, not counting the cost of electricity, tires, etc. Unprecedented levels of flop! www.torquenews.com/11826/tesla-...
Tesla has reversed its policy barring Cybertruck trade-ins. A Cybertruck owner says Tesla offered him $65,400 for his $100,00 truck with 6,200 miles. This means, according to Tesla, a Cybertruck loses $5.6 for every mile driven.
This guy is still mad at me because I said "likely illegal" in discussing Trump's sketchy (and likely illegal) plane deal. The difference is that over on X I'd be yelled at for using the word "illegal". Here I'm yelled at for "likely".
That made me chuckle. Well, it would be funny if the subject wasn't so serious. Wanting to yell seems to be very part of the human condition though I'd still prefer if people were a little less... yell-y... Ah well.
Serves to make me realise that I'm tremendously glad that I'm no longer on the hellsite.
I did find it funny how he called it an "extremely obvious crime" and when you countered with the various unknowns in the case he accused _you_ of oversimplifying the situation.

Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

#France / French female Rabbi faces death threats after criticizing Israel's Gaza policy
French Rabbi Delphine Horvilleur faces threats from within her own community after publishing an article criticizing #Israel's blockade of humanitarian aid to #Gaza.
Horvilleur, who wrote that "without a future for the Palestinian people, there can be no future for the Israeli people," has been met with calls for "din rodef" (religious permission to kill someone deemed dangerous) and a barrage of misogynistic attacks. 90% of messages she's received attack her appearance or claim women shouldn't hold religious authority.
[âŠ] Like many other Jews, I want to say that my love for this country is not based on a messianic promise, a property deed, or a sanctification of the land. It is a dream of survival for a people that no one knew how or wanted to protect, and it is the absolute refusal to annihilate another people to achieve it. It is the conviction, already expressed by its founders, that this State must live up to its ancestral history and, according to the terms of its Declaration of Independence, "extend a hand" to all neighboring countries and their peoples.ââââââââââââââââ
Despite the backlash, Horvilleur, who describes herself as "too Zionist for some, not Zionist enough for others," maintains she speaks out of love for Israel, quoting Isaiah: "For Zion's sake I will not be silent."
Her social media accounts are now under police surveillance as she continues to advocate that criticizing Israeli policy isn't betrayal but a moral obligation.

Alright, so this is really fucked up, but Alright, I was sleeping next to him But I was dreaming about the other dude And then, all of a sudden everything that he fucking did just made me cringe
And it was so hard to fall in, but so easy to just fall back right out again And this whole time, I could give to you and I could paint you pictures But I guess I could just never write a song and then Maybe I never fell out of love with him in the first place
I mean, I-I don't want to feel this feeling 'cause my energy's just so strong That I don't know if I'm creating this or if this is actually what is meant to be And you know they, they say that you gotta think what you want into existence
But you know what? I've never been too good at making decisions, so I have no idea what the fuck I want, I guess
You're giving me a feeling in my head Laying in my bed, just thinking Not really feeling like the one I want Takes everything in me not to call him
I really, really, really want you to I told all my friends I'm moving on
Your baby talk is creeping me out Fuck me so you'll stop baby talking
You know what, in the beginning, it was like We were fucking homies and shit and then All of a sudden you started with some fucking baby goo-goo tongue down my fucking throat I mean, even in front of your mom Dude, as if I'm not fucking awkward enough I mean, you put me in these fucking situations where I look like a dumbass bitch And I'm not a fucking dumbass bitch
You know, I-I hate all that fucking PDA I probably hate it more than your fucking friends do
You know, it's-, it's sweet And you couldn't be more opposite of my last dickhead but You know, it's just-, I don't know if I can get over the fucking goo?
You keep saying again, and again We're laying in my bed, just talking
And now I know I can't hold it back I'm feeling like I'm gonna vomit I don't really want an older you I heard I change my mind way too often Baby talk is creeping me out Fuck me so you'll stop baby talking
Alright so, I'm gonna be honest It's- it's the super cutey shit, that's the main issue here
I mean, I'm fucking what? Look, I like when you send me, you know the- the Queen emoji? But when I send back the monkey, you know the ones with the- the hands over the eyes?
That means that shit's just getting a little too weird for me And I mean, I don't know how to say it in person I just, like, you know, bury my head in your armpit which Weirdly smells good and your hair and your fucking teeth
Like, why the fuck would I wanna lick your teeth? But I do and then you remember there was that one time that I had like a 15 minute? Oh, that was kind of the best thing in the entire world (fuck me so you stop baby talking) So, you know, maybe I could just get past this shit and I could get used to someone, you know, giving a fuck? (Fuck me so you stop baby talking)
I'm sorry I called you a creep and that thing about the vomit (fuck me so you stop baby talking) I mean, look, I'm really starting to be in this whole thing But no matter what you do, homegirl can't handle the fucking goo (fuck me so you stop baby talking)
Fuck me so you stop baby talking Fuck me so you stop baby talking Fuck me so you stop baby talking Fuck me so you stop baby talking
I don't really want an older you I heard I change my mind way too often Baby talk is creeping me out Fuck me so you stop baby talking

I don't know about that. The era of making money directly from consumers is over. Now, the fake "pretend government" takes most of it through taxes, launders it through war, UN donations and schemes like FTX and then the shadow government at the World Economic Forum gives it to companies like Disney to produce agenda-driven media and hire their people. They still make money from us, just not through ticket sales.
Here's a fun bug I found... Our engine likes to crash if you delete objects too quickly. NOOO idea how as the physics ticks can never exceed the game logic rate and the deletion queue is run exactly once before each tick. So few objects in the game I doubt I missed anything in the destruction that would lead to this... but here you go, somehow I managed to break it anyway đ
I strongly disagree. I don't even understand how someone could believe this. Like, do y'all think that OpenWRT, Red Hat, Arch, Nyx, and Mint should all be merged into one distro? Linux is already such a mess, jamming all the mess into a single monolithic project would be a fucking disaster even if it was implemented perfectly.
I think it could be good, but I also know that so many distributions created by so many people is just further proof of FOSS, and why it's good and necessary. The crap will sink to the bottom and the quality stuff will rise to the top, just like in a free market.
I'm not a big fan of Linux because there's too many of them. Every time I want to install something it doesn't work because every guide is for a different distro.
Unfortunately the other alternative is windows, and windows is worse. So I'm sticking to Linux.
Instead we have dozens upon dozens of GNU distributions that work, because GNU is just that good that it can tank through proprietary incompetence and still deliver a good operating system.

Karl Marx: And so the Paris proletariat was confronted with an army, drawn from its own midst, of 24,000 young, strong, foolhardy men. it gave cheers for the Mobile Guard on its marches through Paris. It acknowledged it to be its foremost fighters on the barricades. It regarded it as the proletarian guard in contradistinction to the bourgeois National Guard. Its error was pardonable. Besides the Mobile Guard, the government decided to rally around itself an army of industrial workers. A hundred thousand workers, thrown on the streets by the crisis and the revolution, were enrolled by the Minister Marie in so-called national ateliers (workshops). Under this grandiose name was hidden nothing else than the employment of the workers on tedious, monotonous, unproductive earthworks at a wage of 23 sous. English workhouses in the open â that is what these national ateliers were. The Provisional Government believed that it had formed, in them, a second proletarian army against the workers themselves. This time the bourgeoisie was mistaken in the national ateliers, just as the workers were mistaken in the Mobile Guard. It had created an army for mutiny. wordsmith.social/protestation/âŠ
