He also tweeted a few hours ago that he's thinking of starting a new political party (for the 80%?). Imagine if he Ross-Perots the next election. Either that or he becomes so petty he starts primary-ing Trump supporters in the House. He has a lot of options. Though I don't expect much is gonna come out of it. Probably throw a few more shots to Trump to repair Tesla's image and take a break from politics.

Trump singlehandedly destroying American overconsumption.

I'm kinda surprised we haven't had more people ejected from this administration yet. 2016 had lots. Never knew who was 'getting voted out of the Whitehouse this week'.

That the FTC is still continuing its mission unabated is the most surprising thing of this administration.

I'm just going to ramble so sorry if it's a little incoherent.

One of the most progressive popes in recent memory. He continuously stayed in touch with the parishioners in Gaza and continously spoke out against the genocide, even on his deathbed he kept in touch with them, he encouraged Marxists and Catholics by becoming the first pope to outright acknowledge the similarities in Marxism and Christianity (doing so many times over the years), he replaced about 80% of the current cardinals with ones more progressive like he, hopefully solidifying his message and became the first ever pope to apologize and start to reconcile the relationships with the indengeious Canadians and what the church did to them with residential schools.

He encouraged unity between the Catholic and Orthodox churches, by working out and having both churches celebrate easter for the first time since the schism over 1000 years ago, helping to mend the churches possibly even more so than Ecumenism. He was one of the only public figures actually talking about the genocide in Darfur.

He was a proponent of LGBT peoples in the church. Definitely not on the same level as some progressive but he was the first pope to allow a LGBT+ advocacy group (Jonathan’s Tent) and give them spotlight, even giving them their own events in the calendar, also changing the direction of the church's opinion on the LGBT community.

He was quite often criticized by conservatives as a socialist and Marxist but really he was just following the doctrine. He also had views on refugees and migrants that I can't recall exactly right now. With regards to the sexual abuse scandals that rocked the church in the 90s (rip Sinead o' Connor), he toughened the canon law to further go after the priests responsible. I recall he either fired or excommunicated some priests involved in the scandal but I can't recall atm. Imo, he should have gone farther on it but it was as a start.

I think he should have railed a little harder against the American televangelists and the American tradcath movement but there are Christian groups doing that on their own (like the Trinity Foundation). He wasn't perfect by all means. There were homes demolished during his visit in Timor-Leste and people displaced and he excommunicated Carlo Maria Viganò but when comparing him against the previous popes he left behind a tremendous legacy.

He is also the only pope to release a prog rock album.

Let's hope he lasts as long as Truss did after that too.

Man I'm gonna miss him. Dude was a damn legend and the stuff he accomplished was nothing short if amazing.

Some just do it to make some extra money and save for convenience. Krita is free to download and install yourself. It's 10 bucks if you want to get it on Steam. It's perfectly within their right. Especially in KDE's instance.

A Turkish-American woman. This is gonna piss off Erdogan.

Again? I thought they already left and then there was a lawsuit cause of it.

If it's anything like the game I don't expect it'll standout much. Unless the devs have some sort of hail-mary-plan that the episode will be so good that it revives interest in the game.

Binance had such a solic reputation in the crypto world for not intervening. Way to throw it all away.
