I share all of this here because I think Bluesky is a lot of people sharing their feelings and not a lot of people sharing this information. It’s also a lot of transportation nerds (like me) who are more likely to be traveling outside of a vehicle making it easier to stop if we’re passing by

You should also be saving PIRC’s hotline to your phone contacts to report ICE activity.

PIRC hotline. 1-888-622-1510. CLEAR reporting acronym. Count how many officers, vehicles, people involved. Location. Equipment including uniforms. Activity. Report time.

With increased ICE activity in Oregon, it’s more important than ever that we’re prepared to keep our neighbors safe. The Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition has upcoming trainings including one tonight: linktr.ee/pirc_pdx

what's interesting here is that in this case I don't think he's Leo from Chicago as much as he is Leo from Peru

Opus Dei's fuckery in Argentina is what precipitated Francis finally cracking down on them in 2022. they were doing full-on human rights violations with no oversight

And the Pope from Chicago has effectively hamstrung them.

wasn't the selling point of ai that it would allow you to be good at something without having to put in all the effort and practice? but now the defense of ai is that you need to put in effort and practice to get good at it... if you gotta work at it either way why not just learn the original skill?

bro idk how to tell you this but pascal’s wager is only compelling to believers

There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.
2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational.

Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

One of the great pleasures of True Grit is the faces everyone makes as they realize nobody has ever verbally destroyed them before like 14-year old Mattie Ross.

Grey-haired clerk seated at desk getting his ass absolutely handed to him by Hailee Steinfeld's character, who is glimpsed from the back seated opposite him.

Matt Damon's pompous Texas Ranger getting cut right down to size by Mattie Ross

Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn getting fully rinsed by Mattie Ross.

Barry Pepper as Lucky Ned Pepper (lol only realizing as I type this the surname connection) somewhat amused at getting wrecked by Mattie Ross.

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.
