I doubt Pope Leo XIV is going to grow a beard, but the lack of papal facial hair in recent centuries is something I’ve never considered until five minutes ago.
Holy Whiskers! That Curious Time Every Pope Wore a Beard
Confirmed: Pope Leo XIV is a White Sox fan as per this photo from the 2005 World Series. I'm thrilled, but no I'm not converting. I'm a White Sox fan for life.

Emma — thank you! I’m flattered and only slightly alarmed that my essay so perfectly captured your disgust. I try to aim for reasoned and thoughtful, but sometimes I just channel my inner cranky professor and hope the punctuation lands in the right place. Grateful it resonated with you — even if it came wrapped in the emotional equivalent of barbed wire and sarcasm. Kim

Im starting a Substack called The Rebellion. Im trying to hit on false gospel that is being spread everywhere and explain why its wrong because I want it to stop.
As a Christian teen writer just starting my writing journey, I would love some support to know people are hearing me.
I’m old enough to remember when the neocons were all in on executive power. Spend trillions of dollars to invade another country because we don’t like the guy in charge? CHECK!
Spend a fraction of that amount to release millions of Americans from indentured servitude to a predatory student loan system? TYRANNY!
This is my now almost weekly reminder that the one tide that is historically proven to lift all boats is education (not trickle-down economics, despite the GOP’s long-suffering devotion to that turd of a theory). The student loans people took out to get a college education were invested in local communities (restaurants, clothing stores, mechanic shops, etc.)… and the spillover effects of having more dentists, and doctors and even (gasp!) philosophy majors in a community are also well documented.
But, HEAVEN FORBID we try to do anything about the crushing debt these folks took on to give those benefits to their communities! SOCIALISM!!! Why, if we let these folks off the hook it might even incentivize more people to get educated! An educated populace? National disaster! I mean, just look at the dystopian wastelands of Canada, Sweden, Norway and every other country that provides a free university education to citizens. What would happen to us if we emulated their happier citizens and better healthcare systems?! Better the vagaries of the free market and for-profit lending in education, I say!
Gimme a break… Charlie, we agree on a lot, but you’re dead wrong on student loans. (And this is coming from a guy who gets no direct benefit out of the program.)
