I just might need to become a Lakers fan again.
๐บ๐ธ Stephen A. Smith on the Lakers:
โI've never seen an NBA team with its top 3 players being white deliver a championship.
It's never happened, and I'm here to tell you, I don't think it's gonna happen this year.โ
Why is it permitted to speak this way about white people in the NBA??
Imagine someone saying the opposite...

A white woman was stabbed on punlic transportation in Charlotte by a black man the criminal justice system was protecting.
Yet we're supposed to pretend this matters.
We're not playing this game anymore.
A CBS Mornings Exclusive: The University of Mississippi freshmen who captured the viral video of two white students making monkey gestures and sounds outside their apartment door speak out for the first time. The students and one of their mothers tell @Jerickaduncan how they feel now that one of the students involved has voluntarily withdrawn from the school.
Ah I see.

As much as I love Father Nouwen's work, I have to disagree.
Recently, while gardening outside, I looked towards the sunset in the west. That view left me in awe. I've seen "prettier" sunsets than this one, but there was something about it that filled me with gratitude and hope.
I didn't ask for this moment. Rather, the moment enveloped me.
Joy does not simply happen to us.
We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.

Itโs so funny finding out that the principles that made movies like Iron Man, Avengers, and GOTG successful were Christian values
It explains why MCU went to shit when they started to focus on feminism and woke propaganda

I'm glad to see that when it comes to her position, she's standing up like a man.
I will vote YES to impeach Secretary Pete Hegseth. His rap sheet includes the illegal Iran war, illegal strikes in Yemen (where he mishandled classified information via Signal), and over 200 murders in boat strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific. Heโs dangerous and needs to go.

The man is a fucking fraud. I'm ashamed to think I used to respect him. The timing of this stunt is obvious. He's literally a tool of the globalists to pull libertarians away from the MAGA movement.
Iโve seen some of my colleagues say @SecWar Hegseth has been effective and they agree with the war, so theyโll vote not to impeach.
Thatโs not the question though. The question is whether he committed impeachable acts, and the answer is yes, eight times:

Nailed it.
This may be one of the best explanations of male depression that Iโve ever heard. This is explains why guys are suicidal and their friends, parents, and/or wives donโt even know it. This is also why a man can be married with kids, great job, etc. & feel lonely & depressed.

I needed this.
โThere are doors that you cannot open, but God can.โ
Pope Leo XIV spoke with remarkable tenderness yesterday to one of the quietest and most painful experiences of Catholic parenthood: watching children who were raised in the faith gradually abandon it.
Speaking at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Thirty-Three in Uruguay, he acknowledged the anguish of parents whose children no longer pray, attend Mass or seem interested in the faith they were given. For many Catholic families, this is not an abstract concern about secularisation or declining religious practice. It is an intensely personal sorrow, often accompanied by the fear that somewhere along the way they failed in their most important responsibility.
Yet Leo's response was neither condemnation nor a promise of some easy remedy. He urged parents to persevere in prayer, to continue loving and accompanying their children, and to resist the temptation to turn every encounter into an argument. There are limits to what even the most devoted parent can accomplish. Faith cannot simply be imposed, and love must learn to respect the freedom of those for whom it prays.
He also spoke directly to fathers, reminding them that children need to see what faith looks like when it is lived. A father who prays, receives the sacraments, honours his wife, acknowledges his mistakes and asks forgiveness communicates something that no amount of religious instruction can replace. Children learn not only from what we tell them about God, but from what our lives reveal about whether we truly believe in Him.
There is a profound lesson here about the transmission of faith. We sometimes imagine that if we provide sufficient catechesis, establish the right routines and answer every question correctly, our children will necessarily remain Catholic. All these things matter enormously, but faith is ultimately a free response to grace, not a result that parents can manufacture. Even exemplary parents cannot guarantee their children's choices, just as imperfect parents are not beyond God's capacity to work through them.
Perhaps the most difficult vocation of Catholic parenthood begins when our children become adults and we discover that we can no longer protect them from every mistake, persuade them of every truth or direct the course of their lives. We must learn to exchange a measure of control for trust in Providence, without ever surrendering our responsibility to love, pray and bear witness.
The Church has always understood that conversion is God's work, even when He chooses to accomplish it through the patient fidelity of ordinary people.
For parents carrying the sorrow of children who have drifted away from the Church, Leo's message is both a consolation and a challenge: do not abandon hope, do not allow disappointment to extinguish love, and do not underestimate the quiet power of a faithful life.
There are doors that we cannot open. But God can.

Anthropic's management is among the most liberal IT ninnies in AI. But the Dems have whipped up such a frenzy over the issue, they're willing to kill (or at least reduce) their golden goose.
Oh well, Dems. Less money for you.
If Democrats take control of both the house and senate in these midterms and Anthropic doesnโt manage to IPO before the end of the year, it might not be able to IPO for a long time and when that will eventually happen is going to be at a much much much lower valuation
