I have some Gematria relating to the death of Pope Francis.

He died 122 weeks after his home country, Argentina won the world cup.

* Pope Francis = 122 (Ordinal)

He also died 159 days before the forming of the Society of Jesus or The Jesuit Order.

* Jesus Christ = 159 (Latin Ordinal)
* The Catholic Church = 159 (Latin Ordinal)

He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina as Jorge Mario Bergoglio, and he dies on 111th day of the year. It's 65 days before Messi's next birthday.

* Jorge Mario Bergoglio = 111 (Reduction)
* Messi = 65 (Ordinal)

He was with US Vice President JD Vance just hours before his death.

* JD Vance = 59 (Ordinal)
* Pope Francis = 59 (Reduction)

Our favorite tech-sperg just dropped a new blogpost calling for tech workers to unionize, but not for better pay or anything like that, but because of "muh Musk, muh DOGE, technofascism".

Like, I'm no Musk fan or a MAGAtard, but this is just him sperging about Big Tech not pretending to be on his side anymore.

I've been reading about the Aztecs and Pre-Colombian Mexico lately. Something I found pretty interesting is that the Spanish Crown allowed many of the indigenous noble families to maintain their ancient titles and land holdings in exchange for their fealty. Some of those families are still around today. In some cases entire groups such as the Tlaxcallans were granted noble status for their role in helping overthrow the Aztecs. From what I gather they're still fairly influential even today. For example the Mexican ambassador to the US is a direct descendant of Montezuma II.

With Civ VII going woke, I wonder if we will ever see another Sid Meier's Colonization game again.

I've never played any of the Colonization games, but from what I've heard they have always been extremely controversial just from their premise alone.

🚨 Oklahoma Senate committee advances 2 bills to expand gold & silver as legal tender - and create a 100% metal-backed transactional currency.

A direct challenge to the Fed’s monopoly.

HB1197 & HB1199 now move to Senate Appropriations ⬇️

@mangeurdenuage It is an issue, because it shows he's a hypocrite. If Mr Secretly-a-pervert can't prevent himself from making claims that someone else is a pervert (and should be kicked out of the FOSS movement for it), he should be publicly shamed for his perversions as well as kicked out of the FOSS movement.

People should be telling projects to move off of sourcehut or be excluded, simply because being on sr.ht supports Drew DeVault.

BREAKING! I’m excited to announce that New Hampshire is joining 14 other states in the effort to make Ivermectin more accessible to patients! Amendment SB 119-FN (2025-1498h), titled 'An Act Relative to Medicaid Pharmaceutical Services and Standing Orders for Ivermectin,' filed by Representative Yury Polozov (Merrimack-10), will have a public hearing on Wednesday, April 16, 2025. Ivermectin, a Nobel Prize-winning medication is safer than Tylenol, so it should be over the counter (OTC) everywhere as it is in most of the World. #NHPolitics

Well it looks like 8chan.moe is also down, possibly due to 4chan anons seeking refuge. I haven't seen the full details of the 4chan leaks, but it makes me wonder if it's bad enough that 8chan will make a comeback, even though not in it's original form.

Sadly some of the art got damaged though mostly a smudge in the top-right corner. I could get a replacement jewel but I don't want to spend another $32 and wait a week.

I luckily had some really strong double sided adhesive I used for the rubber feet for an OG a few years back that's still really good. I used it for the jewel to adhere it to the plastic instead and it's holding on there nice and tight. I do wish it was mechanically secured but I didn't want to spend another $30 for a jewel but it looks nice.

The issue was totally my fault though because I didn't know there was a plastic retainer in the shell that was blocking the abilty to plug in the jewel but it looks nice and it's sticking to the console
