It shouldn’t be a surprise. This is most likely directly related to today’s readings, which includes this verse from the Gospel of Mark, chapter 9 [NRSV]:
^42 “If any of you put a stumbling block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea."
I’d argue it doesn’t accurately show the relative value at a cursory glance. The chart shows the area under the curve having decreased over 90%, but when looking at the y-axis, you can see that initial assessment was misled.
In a speculative industry like finance, shouldn’t we try our best to make charts less… alarmist?
It’s street drug, otherwise known to chemists as 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine. Some white trust fund billionaire got stoned and decided it would be funny to hear the media say a politician said something “on twitter,” so he decided to buy a website and name it that.

Well, it’s not exactly in charge anymore.
And it’s not so much “made” as “funded”, and that was the one of the issues with Galileo. Galileo turned his anger towards the individual signing his cheques, when it was a layman who was rallying clergy against him. A good analogue would be the lay-led organization “The Catholic League” in the United States of America.
There’s so much that’s facinating about the Galileo affair, and that’s only the most recent thing I’ve learned: it was a secular opponent, Lodovico delle Colombe, who started adopting the appeal to authority fallacy by using religion as a defence against the theses behind Galileo’s studies.
If you mean humanity is filled with hypocrites, then definitely. I’m a hypocrite, too. Not that kind, but the “I want to raise my child to be at least not worse than I am” kind. Yes, the scandals are shameful. That’s why they’re called scandals, and it’s absolutely idiotic that the bishops (the administrative heads of particular churches) repeatedly thought covering things up was the right choice. Administrative ability should be a job requirement. Government transparency is a new thing, though, just in the past couple of generations, and business financial transparency more recently, so I imagine ecclestiastic administrative transparency will get will become an expectation in a few more. Give it 100 years or so, at least. Like I said: Slow.
As for the priceless artwork, would you rather the grubby little hands of the public and researchers have access to it, or keep it in a private collection? I suppose both have their pro’s and con’s.
There’s a subtle difference between backwards and slow. Slow moves forwards, but… slowly. It turns out “giving away the bride” was introduced by protestants, I’m guessing recognizing pagan practice at the time as a result of no longer treating matrimony as a sacrament.
Wow, even the Catholic Church is ahead of the game on this one.
This story is more uplifting:

Squeezebox has been through several names through the years. It’s now called the “Lyrion Music Server.”
E-mail, too. You could have all the latest security features to confirm you’re legitimate, but based on the simple fact that your message volume is low (ironically enough), messages you send with your server will often get filed under junk by default.
I wonder what it’s like being one of the businesses next to them.
…hospitals sell your information, too.
I feel so sorry for those of you living in places with for-profit healthcare.

Are they the same ones that claim “we are all sinners”?
They’re different, but not opposite. It’s like comparing height and colour.
Ditto. She always called it “poor circulation” and explained it’s genetic. Didn’t know it warranted a name.
I always blamed these particular genetics for my cold induced urticaria.
Too bad Hindi isn’t listed. I’ve found many a “Hearing Impaired” subtitle stream listed as such.
