Colleague: You ready for performance review season?
Me:
Pope Leo: “We live in a performance-driven culture that constantly compares and ranks people, sometimes ruthlessly” and a “misguided understanding of meritocracy ultimately fails to respect people.” vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/…

Giving Idaho an 8.5/10 in "medical freedom" is the most laughable thing I've ever heard. Freedom to die in childbirth, I guess.

well this is beautiful
Intelligence must draw on memory. The mind must not simply compile data — as an algorithm now does more quickly than we can — but recall lived experiences, which contain depths of meaning that only the human soul can recognize, and connect more deeply with the goodness of these experiences. Everything that is good begins “with the Spirit” and thus possesses a breath, a dynamism and a sense of communion that, once experienced, are engraved upon the heart. vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

I hope she throws the fucking book at U.S. Attorney's Office
A federal judge is scheduled to hear arguments today in the “Broadview Six” case that has put a national spotlight on Chicago’s U.S. attorney’s office.
Will she order further inquiry into allegations of vindictive prosecution and grand jury misconduct?

Maybe not devastating an entire generation of unionized ATCs by firing them would have set us up better for this moment...
.@FAA_Bryan on difficulties staffing ATC in New York: "That is these most difficult place in the national aviation system to staff. I'm not sure why... I can't make people go work in New York." (Bedford has not yet been to New York ATC)

"The average age of Democratic ranking members in Congress is nearly 70"
"With Trump receding into the past, Democrats have an opportunity to be much bigger than the party that struggled in his shadow — but only if they are willing to let the party become a vehicle to take back power for people who feel they have none." nytimes.com/2026/09/08/opini…

Corporations are absolutely the bad guys.
"In the past year, residents of rural Allegany County have opened their bills to find $400, $700, even $1,000 monthly water charges. Single-shower weeks have become commonplace." @adampwillis on the rising trend of privately-owned utilities in rural U.S.: thebanner.com/community/clim…

This is one of the most upsetting stories I've read this week, and I am on the media team at my job. I read a lot of news.
“Max, Can REDACTED please have her bunny back? She’s had it since birth… Please don’t punish REDACTED if you’re upset with me,” Emily Moreno wrote to Rep. Max Miller in a March 2025 email. motherjones.com/politics/202…

Not safe for the daughter and granddaughter of Ohio's senator, but cool to rep a whole district in Congress. They love power more than their own families.

My kids call these things "the funky bus," and it's hilarious.
NEW: Say goodbye to the people movers at Dulles airport.
President Trump is set to unveil a $22.5 billion renovation of Dulles as soon as tomorrow that will scrap the mobile lounges, arguably the most unpopular part of the airport, and significantly expand the airports capacity.
