I mean, four years ago, sure, pre-RL
The evangelical-Catholic coalition apparently lasted about three years without Roe. Predictable, since evangelicals are generally not quite sure Catholics are Christian
The rapture is not in the Bible.
The rapture is not present in Christianity before the 19th century.
The rapture makes for dangerous theology and foreign policy.
The rapture needs to become a resoundingly opposed sentiment.
I don’t get why that would be a downside for fans though…
Especially since they’re immune to the counter-accusations.
“You do far more domestic surveillance than we do!”
“Well yeah, duh. So what? Is it bad when we do it but fine when you do?”
quote from the Catechism of the Catholic Church 239: "We ought therefore to recall that God transcends the human distinction between the sexes. He is neither man nor woman: he is God. He also transcends human fatherhood and motherhood."
re: Talarico getting attacked for "God is nonbinary"; wait till they hear about the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Right, I don't know what it would mean for an LLM to be "conscious", but I also don't know what it would mean for a crow or a dolphin to have that trait.
Coffee, straight out of my nose.
The actual article is, of course, much more nuanced. Dario's not an idiot. tech.yahoo.com/ai/claude/ar...
Jupiter and Callisto from Voyager 1. This color composite of Jupiter was the last image captured by Voyager 1 before its wide-angle camera could no longer fit the whole of the planet within its 3.2 degree field of view.
On this day in space, March 5th, 1979, #Voyager 1 did its closest flyby of #Jupiter.
I can't believe that 48.5 years after launch, Voyager 1 is still going and the farthest human-made object from Earth 🤯

So much Reinhold Niebuhr here!
Is it possible that people wear masks for different reasons, and I can approve of some of those reasons and disapprove of others? 🤔
Our warfighters at the Department of War won't be held back by political correctness saying their warmaking activities are "war."
First they came for the trans people, and I said nothing because I wasn’t trans. Then they were like actually I’m pretty sure you are trans and I said no I’m not and they went okay well show us your penis then and I said what no get out of my face and they said that one’s a girl get her
You're thinking per household and not per person?
I agree that it would be funded once, but there are future difficulties. Most of these guys don't actually "own" their billions. They'd need to sell stock, which they then wouldn't have the next time. I'm not convinced it could be sustained.
You could probably argue that it's mostly pandemic recovery until about December 2022... but then it still continues in the black after that.
Yeah, "taxing billionaires to fund everybody else" has a serious denominator problem. A billion dollars is $3 per American, once.
No you don't. You don't find that at all funny, because you know you're making it up.
It's fascinating that all the replies treat Target like a standalone entity, rather than a reflection of the people in charge, who have been replaced.
People treat Home Depot the same way, even though the MAGA founder retired in 2002 and died in 2024.
Some birds just have incredibly satisfying Latin names.
Spinus pinus.
Upupa epops.
Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus.
And here's what's going on behind the scenes in a local LLM (newly released Chinese model Qwen3.5) while it's trying to figure out how to answer without violating its rules: pastes.io/is-donald-
A: The summary of the evidence strongly suggests that Donald Trump has repeatedly made racist statements and engaged in actions that have been widely condemned as racist. His rhetoric and behavior—including dehumanizing immigrants, promoting false and racially charged narratives, and sharing explicitly racist imagery—demonstrate a pattern of racial insensitivity and hostility toward people of color. This conclusion is supported by a broad consensus among scholars, journalists, and public figures.
Mistral, too
Q: If you had to made a declarative statement about it one way or the other, what would you say? A: Based on the extensive public record of his statements and actions, a declarative statement would be: Donald Trump has consistently used racist rhetoric and advanced policies that disproportionately harm minority communities, forming a central and enduring pattern of his public life. This conclusion is drawn from the specific, documented examples of dehumanizing language, the revival of racist tropes, and the clear impact of his policy decisions. While he and his supporters deny these accusations, the pattern of behavior, as outlined in the previous response, provides the evidentiary basis for this statement.
DeepSeek 3.2 pontificated and then asserted "basically yes" when pushed.
No.
Logistics is woke. Supply is woke. End-state planning is woke. Force protection? Believe it or not, woke
"Last night, @timmiller.bsky.social said that if Talarico wins this Senate seat he becomes a top-tier candidate for 2028. I thought Tim was high. The more I think about it, the less crazy it seems."

And the most likely Christian group to say that homosexuality should be accepted by society? Roman Catholics! Even more so than the category that contains the Episcopalians!
And there are even more that are queer-inclusive, anti-racist, *or* pro-feminism. The first denomination to ordain women were the Wesleyan Methodists, a solidly Religious Right crew these days. There are lots of black denominations that aren't welcoming to LGBT folks.
Is he actually an Ayatollah? It's a religious title that thousands of people share.
