Schism? Schism today?
Wow, I didn't have "catholic schism" on my 2026 bingo card
Schism today
Actually, let me add some context
There are several groups of traditionalist Catholics that have been pissed since something called Vatican 2, which updated a bunch of practices and official positions, and one group of those is called The Society of Saint Pius X. Their leader was excommunicated in 1988 for making bishops (?) without permission.
Those bishops are now hella old, so they decided to make some more, and the pope said that was automatic excommunication. (excommunication matters both as a matter of theology (sacraments performed aren't valid) and economics (the church stops giving them money, can take back property, etc))
Pope said don't, and they did, and now: schism?????
Apparently they claim not to be sedevacantists ("pope's not valid"), but idek what else you would call this.
Article from the Vatican press office (calling them Lefebvrians is apparently itself a diss, as that is the name of the founder and emphasizes the cult of personality aspect)
Excellent bluesky thread liveblogging the consecration (must be logged in, I think? Screenshots are highlights)
Tl;dr, from the replies to that thread
once again i have to say that the letter from the vatican makes it very clear that this is a christian hate group. they explicitly reject vatican 2, a series of doctrines meant to update the church's relationship with its body and the rest of the world. When the letter says that SSSX is disagreeing with the church's "understanding of and relationship to judaism", they mean that SSSX believes the antisemitic myth that jews killed jesus and ought to be held responsible for it.
in my opinion, the catholic church does not get credit for this change in policy, as it was only made in 1962 after literal CENTURIES of jewish persecution and oppression. However this is not a "root for the underdog" situation- the schismers are an extremist conservatives and should be called as such.
They also believe that women belong pregnant in the home, and wearing trousers is "an assault upon woman's womanhood and so they represent a deep-lying revolt against the order willed by God." Also, they practice Holocaust denial, funding far right extremist political groups, and many higher order members have been taken to court for sexual abuse against multiple women and children. So yeah. Not the scrappy underdogs stickin' it to the boring old pope, as I've seen some people here trying to pass them off.
They want to Make Catholicism Great Again.
How do I explain to you people that interracial relationships are okay
Not every white person dating a POC is fetishizing. White people can be respectful and responsible when it comes to culture and relationships and not everyone has bad intentions.
Asian people can date Black people without you saying shit like “your kids will be so pretty” they’re not dating for pretty kids. They’re dating bc they like each other.
Someone can dress their partner in clothing from their culture if they want. Someone can take their partner to cultural events if they want.
People in relationships can share cultures, experiences and love without it being toxic or skin deep.
Their partner isn’t culturally appropriating. Their partner is being shown the ultimate form of love, bc their partner trusts them and loves them enough to share their history and heritage.
Yeah, dating someone from your culture is nice bc you automatically have similar experiences. But you’re not limited to dating people with the same experiences. Loving someone is sharing and growing and being together.
Interracial relationships aren’t always toxic, and some of y’all need to stop projecting onto other people.
👆 THIS 👆 👏👏👏
Calling ineterracial relationships toxic or fetishizing just seem like anti race mixing or racism with extra steps
This reminded me of this
You’re KIDDING

it’s time for demons to come out of the ground and for everyone to get special powers
Can they maybe not
you’re prejudiced against new ideas.
Everyone who plays around with Tarot cards long enough winds up with a “bad” card that they love. I just barely persuaded my husband not to get the Ten of Swords tattooed on his body; traditionally, it shows a corpse with ten swords stuck in their body and means “utter ruin,” but he thought that if it took ten swords to kill you, then you must have put up a pretty good fight.
honestly this is the most badass ten of swords interpretation i've ever heard. i'm stealing this
This is the best ad for Project Hail Mary I have ever seen. Like if I was on the fence about watching or reading it, this would convince me to do so.
hey...the failed trump assassination made me think about how I missed my shot with you and how I haven't been right in the head ever since. hope you're doing okay
this was for the ear one. I learned about the one today in April 2026 because the post started going around again

Hey, Bandcamp users. You have probably already heard, but Bandcamp was bought by a music licensing firm, and laid off half its staff "as a cost cutting measure."
I will be downloading everything I purchased from Bandcamp and keeping an eye on it.
In a significant shift of ownership, Bandcamp, the renowned digital music marketplace, has officially transitioned from its previous owner,
used to live in a college town that was huge on sports. 80% of small talk was sportsball and so i developed an Evil Habit: whenever the conversation inevitably turned to the upcoming Big Game i would act excited and then confused. I would earnestly insist they had the details wrong. "the game next Saturday? don't you mean the Thursday after? playing against the [predator species]? no we're playing against the [other predator species]." And so on. i would draw this argument out for as long as feasibly possible, until eventually someone would pull out their phone to prove to me my wrongness. At which point I would squint exaggeratedly at the screen, slap my forehead in an eureka moment, and exclaim "oh you meant the MEN'S team!!! are they doing a game? that's nice."
i love mentioning whatever i'm making to people who don't make stuff bc i'll be like "yeah i'm making another bathmat" and they'll be like "omg you can do that???" yeah bud you can make anything you want. or even need. try it. join me. make stuff.
The rare two-punchline EWC comic (because both made me laugh)
I read that Dracula is the indisputable epitome of Victorian sexual repression all the time, but I keep thinking "clearly you haven't read Jane Eyre". Jane has shimmering passion within her for the byronic and the dangerous, but always with a gigantic pushback for it.
See, I do feel like there's something to be said for the interpretation that this is a manifestation of trauma from her abusive school
They constantly beat into her that she has to be humble to the point of extreme self denial, hyper religious, and so on. And this is the result – it's understandable why she ran from Mr. Rochester rather than living in technical bigamy with him, given the attitudes at the time, But the fact that she wouldn't let herself enjoy any of the benefits of being engaged to him while she was? The fact that she keeps putting herself down to the point of literally drawing a portrait of a woman she thinks is more beautiful, and a portrait of herself, and putting them side-by-side to remind herself that she didn't have a chance? To say nothing of the way Helen Burns talks about herself, as if she could help what to modern eyes very clearly read the symptoms of ADHD
It's sort of a "good if intentional" situation, in my opinion. Maybe Brontë meant to imply this sort of thing, but I don't know if we will ever know

So this morning I found out that the RPG Maker forums will be shutting down this year, and it’s really just another depressing thing to see.
If you read the link the company does of course say they’re replacing the existing forums with new ones, and I’m sure no one would say the old ones didn’t perhaps need a lil bit of a glow up, some tech debt fixing… but there’s a few key notes in there:
They are NOT carrying over any history, data messages etc. from the old forums
They are NOT archiving, retaining or in any way saving the existing forums in any way
They have NOT provided any reasoning past ‘as part of continued efforts to support developers’
As an offhand, moderate read, this sounds to me like a desire for some change in the forums but deciding nuking everything is less expensive than rebuilding and carrying over info.
If I’m cynical, and likely realistic? Probably to increase sales of their latest GameMaker software by making it inherently more difficult for someone getting the older software for cheap pushing it to its limits. The amount of institutional knowledge on those forums is absurd.
And even if it is a benign reason, it’s still terrible because what do you mean you’re doing this with no recourse or potential for change? You sell software that runs on community goodwill? In an era where people are pulling away to open source software?? Crazy.
There are yeeeaaars of answers, plugins, suggestion, community built up on those forums - I’ve used the em to learn and grow my own skillet!!! And soon it won’t exist.
At the very least, they gave a ‘heads up’ - the deletion occurs mid December, so archiving by the community is possible from now. It’s just absurd that it needs to happen in the first place.
It’s just reflective of how the industry is right now - and why it’s so important for communities to grow and build up knowledge together, knowledge that is NOT reliant on a company that can pull the plug at any time in the very name of the very customers, users and supporters they are screwing over.
The good news is that other people are already starting external archival. Here's a couple posted on the r/RPGMaker subreddit:

Rest in peace Akihiro Miwa (1935-2026)
I haven't seen anyone talking about this and just wanted to make a quick post on here.
