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.

Le prix Nobel de la paix devra être attribué à Jean-Claude Fonblard, de Tourcoing, qui, quand il est bourré, reste chez lui et marmonne ses conneries tout seul dans son salon, sans FAIRE CHIER PERSONNE AVEC, ni sur les réseaux ni dans les médias.

I always think stuff like that must be either totally neutral, survival-wise, or somehow linked to something beneficial but not obvious.

Oh yeah, for sure. At most you should vague post about it lol (but maybe not if you're Keith Urvan)

And the thing is, it's okay for men to have a lower sex drive. I'm not loving everyone dunking on Keith Urban for apparently having a low libido. Just another stupid stereotype that hurts everyone.

This is not uncommon, imo, and men who think most or even all women have no sex drive should reflect on what being with an inexpert partner will do to your libido...

Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay says sexy
Winona Ryder wore him out with her non-stop demands for sex. The 35-year-old singer said, although he enjoyed his brief relationship with the Hollywood star, he was left shattered trying to keep up with her.
He confessed: "She has these enormous breasts - bigger than they look on film.
"She did have this habit of constantly wanting to play hide the sausage. It was exhausting."

Yes that's me, but tbh I'd like to find a way to share responsibility with someone who is here more reliably. I'm in and out. 📖

If one person starts yelling, it’s easy from there. Don’t be afraid to be the first person to start yelling at a Nazi

A guy ran into a classroom at the University of Washington threw up Nazi salutes, yelled a bunch of slurs, then roughly 30 students chased him down, got him arrested.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON STUDENTS DO NOT FUCK AROUND WITH NAZIS. THIS IS AN IMAGE OF A YOUNG WOMAN SPAYING PEPPER SPRAY ON A NAZI BOY. HE LOOKS VERY TERRIFIED.

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

The landlady would also be great. "So, you feared the man, your guest, Queequeg... was dead?"
"Yeah, it was so quiet."
"You thought he'd killed himself."
"I did, yes. Yeah. It was scary."
"Terrifying. And your first thought was the door."
"The door."
"I don't..."
"You know. Who would pay for it?"
