This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI — and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet

Men and boys, don’t rape or associate with rapists. And if you know of a rape, especially but not only while it’s currently going on, freaking call the police and tell your “friends “ you’ve done so. Silent revulsion helps not one single person. That’s the only message here

Kid moved to Minneapolis to follow their dreams (yay/sob) and of course took their dog Flash. He’s getting winter gear and we’re getting pictures. This is my favorite, which my son has dubbed “medieval serf.” The next is what my daughter names “My father paid to get me into Yale”

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

I wonder if i could play with resin. It requires a bit less precision. Obviously my copper blowtorch work is completely out, and anything very small scale will be impossible. Hmm. I may have more options than I’d thought. Thank you, coffee. I’ll ponder some more over this new cup

Up most of the night again. Slowly (so slowly) recovering from a central slip rupture. I badly want to paint again, which focuses me past the pain of the thrice-daily hand exercises. And they do hurt. We have a show at the end of this month and there is no way I’ll be able to make some new pieces

When a bishop takes office, he’s asked to make this promise before God and the entire Church: “Do you resolve, for the sake of the Lord’s name, to be welcoming and merciful to the poor, strangers, and to all who are in need?” It isn’t an adjunct of his ministry. It’s core to the entire sacrament.

thelettersfromleo.comLay Catholics Should Be Partisans. Bishops and Priests Should Not.In response to my Barron piece, two clerics I respect called me a partisan Democrat. Guilty. The Second Vatican Council makes it clear: lay people should do partisan politics. Prelates shouldn’t.

The plan should be jurisdiction stripping. Per Constitution A3S2, SCOTUS has original jurisdiction over "Disputes involving ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and cases where a U.S. state is a party" everything else derives from Congress. They want originalism, they get originalism.

NEW: Pope Leo told world leaders on Friday to stop entrusting human lives to AI: “One of the serious problems today is the fact that decisions concerning human life are being entrusted to machines.” He said algorithms impose “a form of domination” by deciding “who is seen and remains invisible.”

You can’t talk about debt without talking about how we got into a bad predicament, and there’s only one correct answer: tax cuts enacted this century
