  • Madonna calls on Pope Leo to visit Gaza 'before it's too late'

    Jump

  • Ugh, sorry. I wasn’t trying to crush your groove. FWIW, I do admire your sense of humor and bringing up the Knights Templar was romanticizing war…

    So you are saying Vatican doesn't have holy hand grenades, holy dove fighter jets, holy cherub bombers, holy drones dispersing holy water & holy napalm, etc?

    Seriously?!? I have so much holy water from the Vatican replenished each year that it may be enough to end the drought in Gaza. You want a holy machete? You got it! You want a holy cow? You got it! But not on Fridays. You want an aerial assault with holy water balloons? You got it.

    Better yet, I can send you some holy water to make your own holy 💩! Be warned: sprinkling your doors and windows each night with holy water will not stop vampires from entering your home! 😂

  • The Crusades were dark times especially with the Knights Templars at the Pope’s disposal. The height of their power and tragic end is incomparable to anything that I know of today.

    If the photogenic Swiss Guards are anything like the Swiss Army, they wouldn’t be capable of invading anyone except Lichtenstein, lol.

    Much love and No disrespect to the Swiss, their Army and the Swiss Guards

    EDIT: Clarified the difference between Swiss Guards and Swiss Army with links from Wikipedia and We Are The Mighty.

  • Russia creates 'catalogue' of Ukrainian children for adoption

    Jump

  • Russia-installed occupation authorities in Ukraine’s Luhansk region created an online “catalogue” of Ukrainian children, offering them for coerced “adoption” through the education department.

    The database includes 294 Ukrainian children, who are sorted and categorised so that the users can “filter” them by age, gender and physical traits, like eyes and hair colour.

    The children are advertised for their character traits, with some described as "obedient" or "calm".

    In numerous cases, the children are described as “polite and respectful towards the adults”, “disciplined” and “not conflictive” or “can be relied on to execute tasks”.

    This sounds horrible. There’s an inventory (catalog) of children. Goods/products are inventoried, not people.

  • Gone to the ER for a killer headache that turned out to be 'just' stress?

    Some doctors actually make stress a diagnosis for something they don’t have a clue. A family friend was diagnosed with stress, turned out to be cancer.

    But if the underlying causes were identified and treated and you're no longer struggling with your mental health, should that old diagnosis still prevent you from doing things that require a sound state of mind?

    As long as it’s identified and treated; some cases need ongoing care and attention.

    abortion is illegal - unless the mother's life is at risk

    Exactly, too vague.

    Any non-specificity in legal definitions for medical criteria should be rejected automatically. Give me ranges. Actual lab values. Vitals. Times. Put those in the fucking law - there should be zero ambiguity about this kind of shit.

    Physicians don’t want to do that IRL because of a probable malpractice suit let alone sit down with policy makers…ugh.

    Thanks for the long rant; I agree.

    Carry on.

  • Madonna calls on Pope Leo to visit Gaza 'before it's too late'

    Jump

  • Agreed.

    She also mentioned politics and there’s this:

    The previous leader of the Catholic Church, late Pope Francis, maintained daily contact with Gaza City's Holy Family Church before his death, the parish priest of the region's only Catholic church told ABC News after his death in April.

  • This is from USA Today

    Davis* did not release his name and said a motive wasn't immediately known. She said he does have a "rap sheet" with the department, but did not elaborate.

    *Austin PD Chief Lisa Davis

  • Three people fatally shot at a Target in Austin, TX

    Jump

  • ATM, this is all I could find. It’s from Newsweek.

    Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis identified the suspect as a man in his 30s with "a mental health history." Details about the shooting victims have not been released.

    According to Davis, the suspect initially fled the scene in a stolen car, crashed it, and then stole another vehicle from a dealership. He was captured about 20 miles away in south Austin, where officers took him into custody, Davis said at a news conference.

    Initial reports from APD indicated that a child may have been involved in the shooting, but during an afternoon press conference, neither Davis nor Luckritz offered any update on that detail.

  • TBH it's been frustrating to see how watered down the reporting has been this year.

    Agreed. Perhaps it’s because they were trying hard to deliver unbiased news (which is boring), whilst every other news station focuses on sensationalism or clickbait to get more viewers.

    Regardless, they lost their federal funding anyway simply because they did their job and did it well IMO. Sad.

  • Delhi given eight weeks to round up hundreds of thousands of stray dogs

    Jump

  • The court expressed concerns over rising "menace of dog bites leading to rabies" and gave an eight-week deadline to officials to finish the task.

    Delhi's stray dog population is estimated at one million, with suburban Noida, Ghaziabad, and Gurugram also seeing a rise, municipal sources say.

    Whew. For a moment there I thought they were being sent to the zoo in Denmark. 😰
