So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires?

Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.
Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

There’s a term in psychology called habituation: the way we stop noticing things we see often. A painting on the wall. A familiar view. Even a person’s kindness.
The brain filters the predictable to save energy. But in doing so, it risks filtering out what makes life feel full.
Not everything that becomes familiar should be forgotten.
Sometimes, attention is an act of love.

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

What do they mean by "financial restitution"? Are they saying that the pope should send the diocese a check for $10 million?
This story gets all the different Pillar articles combined into one: financial scandal, liturgy, bishops being removed, synodality. Why did the average person out of those 50,000 show up? If it were really about the liturgy, it would not just be a matter of one diocese.
Financial scandal is the trigger.
In 2017-18, Vatican had it investigated by KPMG and another Syro-Malabar bishop, Mar Jacob Manathodath, and found grave issues. Two changes were made as a result.
1. Cardinal Mar George Alencherry, major archbishop of Ernakulam, was kept away from administrative duties of his archdiocese, but could retain the title. Mar Antony Kariyil was made in charge of the activities of archdiocese.
2. Vatican asked Syro-Malabar Cardinal and synod to make a plan for restituti…
So what is meant by restitution? The who would pay what to whom?
The sale of real estate properties of the archdiocese has reportedly caused a loss for the archdiocese. It is said that prime land was sold off without due process and evading some tax rules. Cardinal George Alencherry had full powers of archbishop when those deals were made. The scandal erupted into public (back in 2017) when news channels uncovered the documents in the deal, which had the Cardinal's signature.
The onus of restitution fell on the Cardinal and bishops synod, to make up the loss …
I am grateful for you sharing the information you know!
So the money is to go to the Archdiocese. I wonder where the money is supposed to come from. Does the Cardinal have $10 million dollars personally? Or is the money supposed to come from the other dioceses in India or the Indian Government? It is interesting that there is a plan. But the plan was rejected, so perhaps there is no one who actually has the money to pay.
The money cannot come from Indian government.
Ernakulam already has a large flow of money through her institutions, and it will not be justice to get money from other dioceses with much lower budgets.
The problem is at dead end because the Cardinal has little in personal wealth, and attempting a fund raising will only backfire at this stage. As far as I know, the restitution demand is to correct the wrong done. I don't think the diocese is financially strained because of the loss.
There are spe…
Just hit publish on something I've been thinking about obsessively: "The AGI Revolution in Marketing"
I've been watching the AGI space evolve for months, and I'm genuinely nervous (and excited!) about what's coming our way.
The piece digs into what this means for all of us in marketing. The late nights crafting campaigns? The entry-level…
