this is what we could have

Notes from Underground:

#Warsaw has opened a #Metroteka in its subway, in an effort to get commuters off their cell phones.

16,000 books, board games, an underground garden, 24/7 returns.

Public libraries and public transport, a winning combination.

The thing about these grindset lifestyle posts is that they're all fake. None of it is real.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei

If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

Second "No Kings Day" protests likely the largest single-day political demonstration since 1970, with 4.2-7.6 million participants

Here are the initial results from our crowdsourced crowd-counting estimates

Kashing them in their lies.

A tweet from Liam Nissan says: “You sure about that?” It includes a photo of a lavish bathroom with marble counters and a chandelier, filled with stacks of boxes labeled as documents. Below, a tweet from “FBI Director Kash Patel” reads: “Anyone who threatens our national security will be held accountable,” alongside a screenshot of a news article about John Bolton being indicted for mishandling classified documents.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

The inflatable costume thing with the protesters is really good because it renders the body armor/CoD weaponry aesthetic of the ICE Nazis even more ridiculous than it already was. Suiting up like Rambo to face down a dancing frog. No coming back from that
