The album is Garbage’s eighth and the first since 2021’s “No Gods No Masters.” The genesis came last August, when Manson aggravated an old hip injury, abruptly ending the band’s world tour.The other members of the group – Butch Vig, Duke Erikson and Steve Marker – retreated to the studio and began work on new music. Manson added lyrics that lament fatalism, ageism and sexism, acknowledge vulnerability and mortality, and seek to embrace joy, love and empowerment.

That’s a lot, which may be why there’s a song titled “Sisyphus.” The sonics are formidable, too. A mix that echoeshelps to leaven the occasional overripe lyric, such as, “There is no future that can’t be designed/With imagination and a beautiful mind,” in the title track.Most of the material is less New Age-y, and there’s a fascinating desperation in Manson’s positivity. “Chinese Fire Horse,” for example, becomes a punky,

age-defying fist-pumper.“But I’ve still got the power in my brain and my body/I’ll take no (expletive) from you,” she sings.

Manson sounds just as defiant singing about a love triangle on “Have We Met (The Void),” or mourning in America on “There’s No Future in Optimism.” The album peaks on the backside with the back-to-back cuts “Get Out My Face AKA Bad Kitty,” a battle cry in the gender war, and “R U Happy Now,” a ferocious post-election rant.

Hope and uplift can sound good loud.after Italian media quoted unnamed bishops saying he jokingly used the vulgar term “faggotness” while speaking in Italian during a meeting. He had used the term in reaffirming the Vatican’s ban on allowing gay men to enter seminaries and be ordained priests.

This week, DeBernardo looked back at Francis’ legacy mostly with appreciation, even while acknowledging disappointments.“Francis was not only the first pope to use the word ‘gay’ when speaking about LGBTQ+ people, he was the first pope to speak lovingly and tenderly to them,” DeBernardo wrote. “His kind words of welcome to this community, traditionally marginalized in the church, rang loudly around the globe.”

It became clear early in Francis’ papacy that he was going to articulate a gentler, more tolerant approach to LGBTQ+ people than any previous pope. The initial high-profile moment came in 2013 -– during the first airborne news conference of his pontificate — with his memorablecomment when he was asked about a purportedly gay priest.
