- Reposted by BFSCRA historic moment as we witness the first American leading the Catholic Church. Hailing from Chicago, Pope Leo XIV ushers in a new chapter that I join those in our state welcoming in at a time when we need compassion, unity, and peace.
- The new pope is revealed as Robert Prevost of the US, the first American pontiff in history. He'll be known as Pope Leo XIV. Follow live updates: cnn.it/3RXX7QN
- Reposted by BFSCRThe new Pope didn't tweet once in 2024. In 2025, he's posted 5 times, in which he: - Criticized JD Vance's views on Catholicism and Jesus - Posted an article opposing Trump's immigration policies - Retweeted twice about the Pope's health - Retweeted a criticism of Trump & Bukele's laughter at KAG.

- Reposted by BFSCRI just want to point out that by constantly deleting the accounts of people crying out for help in a genocide you are also helping conceal war crimes- so, that’s your job.

- Reposted by BFSCRDon’t really understand why the editors didn’t come in with a picture of the actual picture of his tattoos at this point? Sixty Minutes is constantly interrupting interview footage with contextual spots.
- Reposted by BFSCRa good example of how bad the media is at handling Trump: he lies in a very clear, provable way and instead of focusing on it Terry Moran tries to move the interview along
- Reposted by BFSCRYoung men aren't being told they're bad. They're no LONGER being told that Boys Will Be Boys & everyone else (girls & women) just has to deal w/ it. I'd submit that the problem isn't 13 yos learning not to touch ppl w/o consent (eg)—it's dads seeing a lifetime of privilege shrink & having feelings.
- Reposted by BFSCRYes. A big part of why so many young men are turning to destructive, amoral, misogynistic, bigoted, selfish, self-absorbed, blame-everyone-else ideologies is because that's what their dads believe in.
- Reposted by BFSCRYup. It was a huge controversy when Obama simply stated the obvious when saying, "Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business, you didn't build that."
- Reposted by BFSCRIt's a scam, the male doomer industry convinces them they are under assault to sell them useless shit, then conservatives make those deranged fantasies of persecution respectable with plausible sounding intellectual justifications, rinse repeat

- Reposted by BFSCRBroken Record: You *cannot sustain* a functioning constitutional order if the general population is blasé about open violation of the Constitution. If voters don't care, your job is to make them care. This is not optional. If you don't, you lose even if you pick up seats in the next election.
- Reposted by BFSCRNEW ESSAY about Helen Lewis debating AI hallucinations of my work & Victoria Smith inventing vile lies about me. Why? Because that's what "gender critical" activists do: on Substack (no paywall) juliaserano.substack.com/p/why-do-hel... & Medium (friend link) juliaserano.medium.com/why-do-helen...
- Reposted by BFSCR#MorningVibe When you’re the oppressed, you don’t get the luxury of ignorance. You study the system, the people, the power structures. Not by choice, by necessity. Be honest about your own knowledge or lack of. We have a lot to offer each other if we just listen.
- Reposted by BFSCROnce again, the tech press is applying a clear eye and plain language to the administration that the establishment political press refuses to.
- Reposted by BFSCRJust like the exaggerated “young men are raised in a brutal environment” discourse, I think constructively engaging with any discussion of “anti-wokeness”discourse requires a) concrete examples; and b) not conceding the fascist rhetorical frame, otherwise it’s just agreeing with propaganda.
- Reposted by BFSCRAnyway, the corporate capture of higher education that has been de-evolving the process of learning to just job training for several decades is only going to get worse now that the government is withdrawing the vast majority of the financial support it once provided. Cool, cool.

- Reposted by BFSCRWe've warned for years that Netanyahu is the blockade to peace. Israeli media warned us. Netanyahu's generals warned us. The hostage families call him "Mr. Death." This week Netanyahu officially declared his plan to fully colonize Gaza—this is genocide. www.qasimrashid.com/p/netanyahu-...

- After watching the AI video of the deceased victim, the judge told the family, "I loved that AI, thank you for that. As angry as you are, as justifiably angry as the family is, I heard the forgiveness...I feel that that was genuine.” I am speechless. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
- Reposted by BFSCRThinking on this a bit, I don’t understand why no one thinks of this being turned into the police deep-faking a video where someone they murdered on a wrong address raid thanks them for enforcing the law. You can make a deepfaked video say literally anything. It’s extremely menacing!
- Reposted by BFSCRExcellent essay. I want to step carefully here as a white guy, but I think one part of Attiah's argument to note is that 𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴 rejects the institution of the church as a mechanism of white supremacy, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 Christ Himself, while celebrating African spirituality represented by Sammie & Annie.
- I wrote about Sinners. Watching so many Black folk call the film "demonic", I explain how its central horror -- and triumph is that the film casts Black/African spirituality as an effective challenge to Western Christianity. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
- Reposted by BFSCROpinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...
- Reposted by BFSCRI share this because organizing is often mystified as a process. And people don't know what it takes [which is not their fault]. It often COSTS you to organize. The image in the public of organizers who are grifters or living large in some way is FALSE [the exceptions to this are MINISCULE].
- Reposted by BFSCRNo one has been returned from CECOT even as we learn more and more about the arbitrary and illegal nature of this operation. The Republicans continue to stonewall the courts. Don’t let this story slip from view.

- I wonder how much fortune telling and divination is already being conducted via #chatgpt? Is it too late to lobby for Large Language Model Occultism (LLMO)? 🤔
- Reposted by BFSCRi think the biggest public relations coup AI boosters scored was calling it “AI.” people genuinely think it is an intelligence, and that when they query it, it is providing reasoned answers

- Reposted by BFSCRI.e. it's a very effective tool for getting "what would *sound* like an answer to my question." Sometimes that's a useful thing, but that's not what research tries to accomplish.
- Reposted by BFSCRit's jolting how little AI skepticism has reached the general public. i've had many acquaintances ask whether i use AI for research and seem shocked when i tell them it's completely useless for that purpose. my wife recently told her colleagues about hallucinations and it was news to all of them.
