@snackowska hahaha - indeed! Colombia sometimes takes away the dubious symmetrical prize of having the highest happiness index, which can only denote "not giving a shit about anything", where we are kings

@maeseangulo oh no. Canadians already have huge egos on this front and this will make them grow to gigantic proportions!
(also... who are all these people who supposedly love Germany?!?)

@maariaris That position is much more subtle, unlike the unending supply of drones the Iran regime provided Russia in the first years of the war.

Weird that all those people who’ve been loudly protesting Ukraine’s sovereignty have nothing to say about the violation of Iran’s sovereignty. Indeed many with Ukraine’s flag in their bios are defending the invasion of Iran. Weird that.

I know a guy who was born in the US to immigrant parents. He went on to have a busy career in musical theater.
One of those "encore babies"!

tried lasagna "al freddo", that is, not cooking the meat sauce first: it works, the meat cooks fine, the sauce has still some depth. It doesn't save thyme, tho

After Trump got reelected and began disappearing people off the street I told my family I wouldn't return to the US until regime change (haha).
I'm expected at a wedding later this year, and I can't say no. I'll surely be in another list, but I fear far beyond that.

@binarybits the same thing can be said more precisely of the right. what the left seeks is to build a sense, or rather many senses of community. AI destroys several of them: shared trust, shared meaning in and beyond education, human interaction. taboos, as you know, are not all encompassing
English
I think some currents of contemporary left-wing thought are best understood as secular people craving the shared sense of moral purity we traditionally got from religion. Most recent example: taboos against AI use.

I've been hearing "straits" of Hormuz lately, and can't pin point the reason (dire straits?). and now "stone ages" has made an appearance, which is correct in a sense if you compare chronologies, but still very weird
oh yeah, and fuck the war criminals

"The imperialist occupation of the world is disrupted from within;" if this is not a call to immediate action, to rein in those who see freedom as dominion over others, I don't know what is - nor what to do if it is... but good to have a blessing, nonetheless
Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex
The cross is part of the mission. The imperialist occupation of the world is disrupted from within; the violence that until now has been the law is unmasked. The poor, imprisoned, and rejected Messiah descends into the darkness of death, yet in so doing He brings a new creation to light. #HolyThursday

@katherineveritt the church has learned somewhat from its sins; the temporal power is so sinful today that we need that voice

I know there are several reasons for why farmers all over the world dress so similarly (adjusting for climate), I'm just saying some are more mysterious than others.
