I’ll give the last word to a Michigan football board friend: It is both infuriating and painful to hear people talk in retrospect about Covid, its impact, and its management. Here’s the experience in my house: First, my mother-in-law acquired covid and was dead 4 days later. Her husband of 50 years was not permitted to see her body and there was a closed casket burial. Then, my wife, who is a Pediatric ICU nurse, and who suffers from asthma, was pulled from her unit to spend several months taking care of Covid patients. These were mainly elderly adults who were dying. Their families were not permitted to visit, the attending physicians would not enter the rooms, and the residents stayed away as much as possible. She had to double gown and triple mask. She would come home and literally undress outside to not expose any of us, and then go immediately in a shower, and cry. She had been an ICU nurse for 30+ years, had “seen it all,” including the AIDS epidemic, and nothing was nearly as impactful. She continues to experience PTSD, including nightmares, as a result of that experience. So, FUCK people who feel like they were a little inconvenienced by sincere efforts to mitigate an unknown risk.

Patti Smith sat down across the desk from Pope Leo XIV in the Apostolic Palace on Friday morning and said, softly, “Hi.” Leo said it back to her, and then he laughed. The greeting carried freight. Smith closed her 1979 album Wave with a title track built around an imagined conversation with Pope John Paul I, the pope of thirty-three days, and the recording opens with her voice saying “Hi. Hi.” Leo knew the song, the AP reported. “That was marvelous,” he told her.
In the first days of my deployment, I had a meeting with a local village chief interested in establishing good relations with my base and also curious why we were so far from home. I told him we were there to hunt Al-Qaida because of what they did in New York on 9/11. The chief looked at me with a blank stare. Then he spoke to my translator. He inquired what 9/11 and New York were. He knew what was happening on the other side of the mountain from his village, but beyond that, nothing. I thought about it for a minute, and then I answered: Many months ago, some of the Arabs that lived in Afghanistan traveled to my territory and massacred thousands from my tribe, including women and children. The chief looked horrified upon hearing this news. He showed an interest in helping us get our revenge, and he asked what rewards he could expect from us. I told him that if he could help us find the chief of the Arabs of Afghanistan, Usama bin Laden, we would give him 25 million dollars, which was the reward on bin Laden’s head at the time. Once again, the chief offered a blank stare and he asked my translator what 25 million dollars was. Once again, I needed to think how to translate 25 million dollars into Afghan village parlance. I told him if he helped us find bin Laden, we would give him a thousand goats. The chief was greatly impressed by our generosity and he agreed to help us.

On May 7, the Department of Justice filed a condemnation lawsuit against the Roman Catholic Diocese of Las Cruces, which owns most of the mountain. The government wants 14.259 acres at its base — a strip roughly 190 feet wide along the border, where contractors are building 1.3 miles of 30-foot steel bollard wall under a $95 million contract. For the land, the government deposited $183,071 with the federal court in New Mexico. Its own appraisers valued a neighboring 7.3-acre parcel belonging to the state at $798,500 — half the acreage at more than four times the price. The machinery moved long before the lawsuit did. Then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem waived more than 20 federal laws at the site in June 2025, including the National Historic Preservation Act.
In the 2024 election cycle, he donated $291 million to President Trump and Republican candidates, according to Open Secrets. As Michael Mechanic wrote in Mother Jones, “Musk expended 0.1 percent of his wealth in the process and got far more in return.” Mechanic notes “The Trump administration promptly shelved dozens of investigations into Musk’s companies.” Musk was rewarded with a rogue government agency — the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), named for a crypto meme coin Musk invested in — to advance a self-interested data grab and chainsawing away at government capacity. Public Citizen found that 70 percent of the agencies that were targeted by DOGE had conflicts of interest for Musk’s businesses. For example, Musk directed DOGE to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which would have overseen X’s move to become a payment processor.

thatringboy Reblogged sevenoffeathers approaching-the-scrungularity-d I think I may never be sad ever again. There is a statue entitled "Farewell to Orpheus" on my college campus. It's been there since 1968, created by a Prof. Frederic Littman that use to work at the university. It sits in the middle of a fountain, and the fountain is often full of litter. I have taken it upon myself to clean the litter out when I see it (the skimmers only come by once a week at max). But because of my style of dress, this means that bystanders see a twenty-something on their hands and knees at the edge of the fountain, sleeves rolled up, trying not to splash dirty water on their slacks while their briefcase and suit coat sit nearby. This is fine, usually. But today was Saturday Market, which means the twenty or so people in the area suddenly became hundreds. So, obviously, somebody stopped to ask what I was doing. "This," I gestured at the statue, "is Eurydice. She was the wife of Orpheus, the greatest storyteller in Greece. And this litter is disrespectful." Then, on a whim, I squinted up at them. "Do you know the story of Orpheus and Eurydice?" "No," they replied, shifting slightly to sit. "Would you like to?" "Sure!"

Andrew Tate [01/12/1986] previously had charges against him for 10 counts including three counts of rape, four counts of actual bodily harm, two counts of human trafficking and one count of controlling prostitution for gain. The previous charges relate to three victims. The new charges relate to a further four victims.

16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?” 17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.” 18 “Which ones?” he inquired. Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, 19 honor your father and mother,’[c] and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’[d]” 20 “All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?” 21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” 22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.

The place itself argues his case. The Borgo Laudato Si’, the ecology project Francis planted in the pontifical gardens and Leo has carried forward, trains migrants, refugees, former prisoners, and women who survived abuse to work the land and run a farm-to-table kitchen there. The ground that grows the food is tended by the same people the world discards. At the Borgo, caring for creation and caring for the poor are the same job.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa There’s no doubt that Putin fears the return of his army home. That is why he is so afraid of the war ending without victory. And there will be no victory. He is physically afraid of his own army. That is why, if there is no ceasefire backed by specific security guarantees, he will return to war. And this time, others may be the ones under attack. Today, Ukraine is de facto the second army of NATO – one that is not inferior to the second army in the world. And that is why NATO needs us – specifically us – de jure. This is already a fact recognized by all leaders. Putin will remain in the Kremlin until his death, and he has one goal: the restoration of the Soviet Union. Without Ukraine, this is impossible, and that is why things are so difficult for us.

If everyone in the United States weren't living downstream from its consequences, it would be a pretty good tragic flaw that Donald Trump wants more than anything to be seen as a brilliant man who has always been right about everything when he is transparently a butterfingered dunce whose professional expertise more or less begins and ends at making cutting remarks from a safe distance and directing other people to file nuisance lawsuits on his behalf.

But it underscores the conservative legal movement’s present cursus dishonorum. Allegations of racism? No problem! Prestigious federal circuit clerkships await! Paucity of practical legal experience? It’s all good! Happy to put associates on the federal bench! Willingness to throw out basic legal principles for partisan gain? Even Aileen Cannon gets a lifetime job! Generate publicity for comparing immigrants to toilet people, earn Judge Ho’s stamp of approval, practice law for less than two years and presto! Solicitor general gig! When that’s a realistic outcome, nothing is going to turn down the trolling.
