On Pentecost, Vatican delegates and Peruvian clergy knelt before farmers in Peru asking for forgiveness, following years of petitions from the indigenous community asking for “reparation” in response to abuses suffered at the hands of members of the "Sodalitium Christianae Vitae," an ecclesial organization dissolved in 2025. vaticannews.va/en/church/news…

Pope Leo XIV’s address in English at the publication of his Encyclical Letter Magnifica humanitas, on safeguarding the human person in the age of Artificial Intelligence. Do listen to all of it. It is very good.

棺を担いだ人達が演奏に合わせて踊っているペルーの葬儀。こうした葬儀はペルー西部で10年前に始まったものですが、死を悲しみだけで終わらせず故人の人生を祝福して前向きに見送る死生観はアンデス文化の伝統であるため、ペルーの他の地域にも広まったようです 📹itsnari.s

Trump crumbles in the presence of the authoritarian figures he admires and envies. And despite fancying himself as a master negotiator, he's easily manipulated and bought off. He'll likely come away parroting some of Beijing's language on Taiwan. And as for raising Jimmy Lai, Trump doesn't air concern for human rights in public, and I'm sure he won't privately. Nor will China budge on the issue.

The Nobel Prize@NobelPrize

We're celebrating the 165th anniversary of the birth of a true great: Rabindranath Tagore, who was born #onthisday 7 May, in 1861 in Calcutta, India. The first non-European literature laureate, he was awarded the #NobelPrize "because of his profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse, by which, with consummate skill, he has made his poetic thought, expressed in his own English words, a part of the literature of the West."

According to a witness interviewed by Qilu Evening News (齐鲁晚报), who had been waiting in line behind Liu, visitors paid 398 yuan (US$58) for a combined attraction package including the sky ladder and the drop. After the accident occurred, those still waiting in line were sent back via the sky ladder. This video shows that the sky ladder itself is already quite an intense experience... and likely not something you’d want to do again after just watching someone fall to their death. The witness said visitors asked for refunds, but were only refunded for the swing and not for the sky ladder, which is frankly bizarre after witnessing a fatal accident and realizing they could just as easily have been the victim. For now, the attraction area has been closed, and it seems unlikely that Chongqing Adventure Camp will ever reopen.

What exactly happened when a 16-year-old girl named Liu fell to her death at the cliff swing attraction at the Maliuyan Adventure Park in Huaying, Sichuan? This incident has been widely shared on social media since it happened on May 3rd, and various explanations have circulated, such as the rope snapping, her not being fastened tightly enough, or the flag she carried being somehow related, or that the girl herself said before falling: "没绑紧!" "Not fastened tightly!"). But a lot about that is not true, so here are a few more details (thread🧵👇).

Australia and the UK have renewed calls for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s immediate and unconditional release, after the junta claimed to have moved the 80‑year‑old democracy leader from prison to a "designated residence" to serve her sentence. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
