We made some fancy charts. Check it out!

https://leavex.eu/posts/ranking-of-meps-still-on-x/

Christians continue to use a platform with a built-in tool for child abuse. A progressive alliance relies on a platform that undermines European democracy. Renew Europe amplifies a platform pushing a far-right agenda. Together, these groups account for around 67% of all active MEPs on X.

Data doesn't judge, but it does reveal contradictions.

Ranking of MEPs by country and EU group still on X

Despite repeated warnings about X’s growing moderation failures, disinformation risks, and instability, many Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) continue to rely on the platform for public communication. To better understand this landscape, we compiled a dataset of all current MEPs and checked whether they still maintain an active presence on X. The tables below show two rankings based on this data: (1) by country, highlighting where representatives remain most active on X, and (2) by EU political group, showing which groups still rely heavily on the platform.

"In January 1826, the state of #Maryland passed the so-called “ #Jew Bill.” The 200th anniversary of the bill being enacted into law was last week. The Maryland state legislature will hold an event in February, during the annual legislative session, to commemorate the 1826 #law.

Prior to 1826, only members of #Christian #religions were eligible to hold office in Maryland. In fact, there was a clause in the oath of office that elected officials were required to take that affirmed their belief in #Christianity.

The formal title of the bill was “An act to extend to the sect of people professing the #Jewish religion the same rights and privileges enjoyed by Christians.”

This bill was proposed and resisted for years before it was finally passed in 1826."

If you really want to protect children from pedophiles, don't waste your time blaming trans people. Focus instead on those who have been found, time after time, to be either abusing children or enabling/covering up abuse -- the "Christian" church.

It's not just a Catholic problem, it's happening in protestant churches, too.

@phistorians Striking similarity to later #Christian depictions of St George fighting the #dragon. Are any direct parallels known between these iconographies, or is this considered an independent development?

Cupich, who leads an archdiocese including about 2 million #Catholics, said the #Church's teachings about helping #immigrants cannot be disregarded.

"This is not some abstract value that people who say they are #Christian can easily ignore," said the cardinal. "No, this is the kind of moral imperative that is tested in the here and now."

… #PopeLeo, originally from the #Chicago area, …has been steadily increasing his criticisms of #Trump.

…Cardinal Michael Czerny, a close advisor to Leo, said the pope is "expressing the concerns that should be in the heart of every #Christian & of every citizen."

"The Golden Rule, in other words: Do unto others as you would wish them to do unto you," said Czerny.

"There's a deep reflection that needs to be made in terms of what's happening," the pontiff said on Tuesday, when asked about the condition of #immigrants detained at a federal facility in #Broadview, #Illinois, near #Chicago.

"I know how much it means to detainees & their families that #PopeLeo is paying close attention to the suffering of migrants & their families here," Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich told Reuters.

Regulating AI hastens the Antichrist, says Palantir’s Peter Thiel

> One of the world’s most powerful technology leaders has reportedly warned that regulating artificial intelligence risks hastening the coming of the Antichrist.

> Peter Thiel, the conservative billionaire who co-founded Palantir, the data analytics group, and PayPal, the payments operator, is said to have made the comments during a lecture delivered in San Francisco this week.

> Thiel, a former donor to #DonaldTrump and mentor to #JDVance, the vice-president, said that fearing or regulating promising technology and scientific progress, including in #AI, risked courting the devil, according to the Wall Street Journal, which cited people who attended the event.

> #Palantir said last week it would invest up to £1.5 billion in the #UK, creating up to 350 jobs, part of a package of announcements from US technology companies which coincided with Trump’s state visit.

> The Ministry of Defence is expected to spend up to £750 million on Palantir’s AI technology in return, which could help identify targets on the battlefield in any future war.

> The deal has prompted concerns that it could be at the expense of British companies and jobs.

> The Times has previously reported on Thiel’s devout #Christian views and their mingling with his business interests and how he is among several #SiliconValley figures who have been speaking more openly about their faith. https://archive.is/2025.09.25-151156/https://www.thetimes.com/business-money/technology/article/palantir-founder-peter-thiel-antichrist-lectures-religion-qzmpth35t #artificialintelligence #PeterThiel #conservative #billionaire #PayPal

In the Blue Room of the White House, once the cameras recording the Easter prayer service cut off, the conversation at #Trump’s dinner table turned to one of the biggest political goals for #conservative#Christian activists — eliminating a #law that banned #churches, & other #TaxExempt charitable groups, from endorsing #political candidates.

I often enough think about how amazing it must be to participate in the scientific endeavor – to join with your whole heart and mind a collective effort that is centuries old and stretches indefinitely into the future, to which your contribution is simultaneously tiny and important, that will never be finished, and which it is not your responsibility to do anything more than add to.
