Robert Barron, bishop of the Diocese of Winona–Rochester in Minnesota, was appointed less than a week ago by President Trump to the new White House Commission on Religious Liberty. This week, however, he was at the Vatican with hundreds of other prelates as the cardinal electors gather for the conclave to choose a new pontiff.

…

“Cardinal George of Chicago, of happy memory, was one of my great mentors, and he said: 'Look, until America goes into political decline, there won’t be an American pope.’ And his point was, if America is kind of running the world politically, culturally, economically, they don’t want America running the world religiously. So, I think there’s some truth to that, that we’re such a superpower and so dominant, they don’t wanna give us, also, control over the church.”

Chicago Pope proclaims he’s “on a mission from God”, looking to “get the band back together.”

The late 90’s to early 2000s were a terrible time on the internet in many ways and yet in may others it was the best of times.

Can we just pick up and move King’s Island and Cedar Point somewhere better?

Sadly I fully expect to hear that parroted from family soon.

An older acronym for the same thing, BSABSVR

Both Sides Are Bad So Vote Republican.

I’m incredibly sad about it too, it consumes a non-inconsequential amount of my family. But a large faction of the US have been trained since the civil rights era that it’s good to suffer hurt yourself as long as you are hurting the undesirables more.

Only significant pain will transform the US unfortunately. And it’ll either be economic or combative. Most MAGA voters are gone, but the “nothing will change” non-voters can be woken up from the delusion that nothing matters and helped to recognize that voting at its most basic is harm reduction.

As a border state that sees a bunch of Canadian tourists and shoppers it’ll suck, but the only way out is through.

Thankfully the US has a president who is deeply experienced in pandemic management and bringing society together in common cause so I should manage ok. 😭

To be fair, I don’t know that we don’t block coursera as well but the block I specifically saw was for a course hero. And some of the blocks that we have on are for security reasons over reliability reasons. We have to be hyper cautious about the students leaking any potentially PHI and some of the Google sign in setups are less secure than others.

That’s been my go to since they started. There is/was a challenge using them when we evaluated them a while back with forcing safe search reliability if I recall the reason.

We have a different person that manages our block list so I don’t know the reason for all the blocks. That said, we block https://www.coursehero.com/ not https://www.coursera.org/

Thanks for the tip

That is exactly what is happening. They type in the search query on their Chromebook (for example, “why do dry erase markers float”, the results page flashes for a second and then the “this page is blocked” screen comes up saying they were blocked from Reddit, et al. Without them clicking on any search results.

And 2 kids can do the exact same search at the same time and get blocked for different sites or only one will get blocked.

I work in an education setting and in the last month, Google started preloading the contents of other sites directly on the search page. It is wreaking havoc when combined with our blocking tools because kids will do a Google search for something innocuous and the page will immediately get blocked because it tried to load a result from Reddit or coursehero or something else we have blocked.

It’s incredibly frustrating.

Everyone loves Activision and what they’ve done for gaming. There no way this could go wrong.

Real rugged manly men go solo cave snorkeling though. Gotta prove how tough they are.

He should pick up a hobby like solo cave snorkeling.
