@USNavy @USNavyCNO Gents, do you think this might be AI? If not, that fine young serviceman has a real issue with his head, boxed in like that!

@USNavy @USNavyCNO What is happening here ? Why would you use bad AI like this? I have no idea what the deal is with the food but I didn’t believe there was anything to the story till I saw fucking AI propaganda about the meal service like we are North Korea. WTAF people.

Good example of how AI screws things up. Maybe only one out of four of the photos is AI slop, but by including even just one it calls into question the credibility of the entire post

She brought tears to my eyes. The postcolonial future is already here; its language is being written, and spoken. The healing is happening, even as the disease has not been extinguished yet. This speech, by Claudia Sheinbaum, is historic. Whoever wrote this, has my admiration. Thank you

Really fascinating historical research by @hillaryvipond: “Technological Unemployment in Victorian Britain - Young Workers and the Collapse of Entry” Analysis of the bootmaking industry of Victorian England shows that the impact of mechanization was not so much to displace incumbent workers. Instead, the shock primarily affected a changing set of opportunities available to young people.

How come we didn't get any of these news the last time they talked

I hope President Trump reads Matthew 7:15-20. It's the perfect Bible passage to sum up his Presidency👇 "Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions."

Very interesting and timely book. I particularly enjoyed the description of how Idi Amin went from brave freedom fighter to - after breaking with Britain and Israel - a monster worse than Hitler, even fond of human flesh. We have seen this play out many times haven’t we

SHOCKING CLASH: Donald Trump CALLS POPE LEO XIV “AN INSULT TO JESUS” — THE POPE’S RESPONSE STUNS THE WORLD Donald Trump believed he could score easy political points by calling Pope Leo XIV “an insult to Jesus,” after the spiritual leader once again spoke out in defense of peace, compassion, and human dignity. However, he was challenging a voice rooted not in politics, but in moral authority. Standing before a solemn gathering at the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV did not respond with anger. Instead, he delivered a powerful and deeply moving message grounded in faith, responsibility, and truth. “The President of the United States has said that I insult Jesus,” Pope Leo XIV began, his voice calm yet firm. “But let us reflect honestly — what truly insults the teachings of Christ?” Then, with quiet intensity, he answered: “You want to know what truly insults Jesus? It is when we turn away from those who suffer, when we close our hearts to the poor, and when we choose power over compassion while others cry out for mercy.” He continued: “You know what insults Jesus? It is forgetting the dignity of every human being, ignoring the pain of families in crisis, and refusing to hear the voices of the most vulnerable among us.” His message then deepened, becoming not just a response, but a moral call that reached far beyond the moment: “You know what insults Jesus? It is creating division where there should be unity, spreading fear where there should be hope, and turning away from justice when we have the responsibility to uphold it.” This was not merely a political rebuttal — it was something far more profound. Pope Leo XIV, known for his humility and steadfast commitment to peace, transformed the confrontation into a reflection on conscience rather than conflict. Instead of escalating tensions, he elevated the conversation to a universal moral level. “I do not claim to be perfect,” he admitted. “But I strive each day to walk the path of compassion — to serve, to listen, and to love as we are all called to do.” Then came the line that resonated far beyond the walls of the Vatican: “If we truly believe in a world shaped by peace and mercy… then why do we not work harder to bring that reality into our lives — here and now, for one another?” That was his response. Not with anger. Not with division. But with conviction — and grace. Trump sought to challenge him. Instead, Pope Leo XIV delivered a message now echoing across millions, reminding the world that true strength is found not in power alone, but in conscience, humility, and love.

WOW! CNN announces that there is no longer a divide within the Democratic party on Israel - the party base (not its leadership) is overwhelmingly opposed to Israel! No age divide or divide between Liberals and non-Liberals. A majority of all demographics oppose Israel.
