Have you tried DuckDuckGo browser? That’s what I use if I need to view something on YouTube. There’s Enable Duck Player in Settings, mine is set up to open a new window (no ads).

EDIT: No sign up or phone number required. My VPN is always on.

Done. Had to figure out where to go to change my profile pic – didn’t take as long as the video, lol.

Perhaps our British friends should start wearing the Camera-Shy Hoodie?

In the more than 300-year history of the Brazilian city of Curitiba, no city councillor had ever been removed from office until 2022, when a promising young Black local politician was forced out.

Renato Freitas had been accused of “breaching parliamentary decorum” by leading an anti-racism protest that ended inside a Catholic church – ironically named Church of the Black Men and built by enslaved people in the 18th century.

The expulsion was eventually overturned by the supreme court, but it was far from the last case brought against the 41-year-old Freitas, a rising star in the leftist Workers’ party of president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

He [Freitas] got his ass beat and was left naked in a police station yet he is the one accused of “breaching decorum”.
His accusers need to come over to my family’s house on Superbowl Sunday so we can teach them what breach of decorum really means.

🙏

Ugh. I’ve been using Ente photos since I de-googled and gave myself until the end of summer to decide if I want to upgrade my subscription. All week I’ve been trying to figure out if how to migrate to Ente auth. Grrrr!

Thanks, OP!

That’s a very good question.

What possessed that conclave to come to that swift decision? What was the motivation?
The conclave states that they elected Pope Leo XIV because he is moderate, he has good administrative skills and the time he spent in the Americas will hopefully make him a unifying figure for the church.

Meanwhile, I still haven’t gotten over the fact that the cardinals elected an American for a pope. I didn’t think that would ever happen. Ever.

Let me be clear, I mean no disrespect to anyone (the church, it’s allies and enemies). Like it or not, that position yields power and there are approximately 1 billion Catholics in the world today.

Pardon the long rant. The short answer is: The pope serves the church.

Everyone must stand alone

No, it’s not Twilight - it’s Dracula (Bram Stoker read through by chapter). Enjoy.

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-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.

😂

TBH, I doubt that she would be allowed in…

🤦🏻‍♀️oh geeze! Thanks so much. Pardon my stupidity.

Leaving now.

Holy shhhh… Anchorage, AK is #2?!? I gotta stop binge watching NatGeo. Thanks for the list, sorry I got off topic.

Carry on.

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.
