I’m sorry - the Pentagon threatened the Catholic Church, currently led by the first American pope??
Anne Applebaum@anneapplebaum
The Trump administration gave a Vatican envoy "a bitter lecture warning that the United States has the military power to do whatever it wants—and that the Church had better take its side"

Not if it’s the only verified platform offering that like we are with Netverse. Sometimes a problem has to become so existential for people to truly seek out a safer alternative. Our patented app-less, hardware verified, one-user-one-device technology may have been too early years ago but the way things are escalating fast it looks to be at an inflection point.

Director James Cameron on why Big Tech owning AGI is scarier than any science fiction he's ever made:
"AGI will not emerge from a government funded program. It will emerge from one of the tech giants currently funding this multi-billion dollar research."
And when that happens, he warns, you won't get a vote on it:
"So then you'll be living in a world that you didn't agree to, didn't vote for, that you are co-inhabiting with a super intelligent alien species that answers to the goals and rules of a corporation."
A corporation that already knows everything about you:
"An entity which has access to the comms, beliefs, everything you ever said, and the whereabouts of every person in the country via your personal data."
From there, the slide toward something far darker is shorter than most people think:
"Surveillance capitalism can toggle pretty quickly into digital totalitarianism."
And even the best-case outcome isn't reassuring. Tech giants becoming the self-appointed arbiters of human good is, as he puts it, the fox guarding the hen house.
He's not buying the idea that these companies would stay benevolent with that kind of power:
"They would never ever think of using that power against us and strip mining us for our last drop of cash."
The sarcasm is the point.
Cameron has spent four decades imagining worst-case futures on screen. His verdict on this one:
"That's a scarier scenario than what I presented in the Terminator 40 years ago, if for no other reason than it's no longer science fiction."

@ButtercupPB @ChristopherHale @janecoaston Evangelicals prefer Jews over Catholics. Useful idiots for zionism.

@ChristopherHale @janecoaston Wow, this administration is truly off its hinges!
The pope bows to no politician. He is the leader of the Church, and he will state the position of the Church based on the teachings of the faith, without any concern as to whether it offends a politician.

It’s wild.
“In January, behind closed doors at the Pentagon, Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre — Pope Leo XIV’s then-ambassador to the United States — and delivered a lecture.
“America, Colby and his colleagues told the cardinal, has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.
“As tempers rose, one U.S. official reached for a fourteenth-century weapon and invoked the Avignon Papacy, the period when the French Crown used military force to bend the bishop of Rome to its will.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-pentagon…

MAGA has become tribal, hive-minded, at war with itself.
I said it plainly at @CPAC- and people felt it.
I laid it all out—about Tucker, Mark Levin, Marjorie Taylor Greene—and how insane the mob mentality on the right has become.
People are tired of being lied to at political conferences. Tired of the spin. Tired of being told everything is “great” when it’s not.
They want honesty. They’re hungry for truth.
And if we can’t confront our differences openly—without personal attacks and character assassinations—we won’t survive this moment.
Watch my full remarks from CPAC. This was one of the most important speeches I’ve given in years.

John Kent Tarwater, a professor at a Christian college who built his career policing other people’s sexuality, is now accused of... TAKE A WILD GUESS.
At what point do we admit this pattern isn’t a coincidence?
