It seems silly to quote a fantasy book but thereβs a Terry Pratchett quote where they have captured the main villain and are about to kill him, βit doesnβt matter what he is. It matters what we are.β Itβs stuck with me whenever the death penalty comes up.

Notable to me that every for-profit information hub is injecting AI into every corner of their services while the largest nonprofit information hub is fighting it off like their the Night's Watch

Crazy thing is this doesnβt make me hopeless. This is a meaningful moment. We have the privilege of being born into this world and with it we have the chance to be the ones who change history.

Hot take: baptism these days is way too difficult to achieve. Anyone wishing to be baptized should be able to get the sacrament ASAP, provided they are willing to recite the creed and respond affirmatively to the baptismal liturgy

We love a baptismal call β¨

Creating a separate opening and shape of the baptismal liturgy in BCP1979 and derivatives was a mistake, as it precludes spontaneous use of the baptismal liturgy in the course of the communion liturgy. Offers to baptize should go out at time of explaining how to come to the rail.

If you're interested in this history, Monica Miller's Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity is a great read.
Will try to do a thread at some point about zoot suits.
The theme for the 2025 Met Gala will be βSuperfine: Tailoring Black Styleβ β based on the style of Black men throughout history.
Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, Anna Wintour and LeBron James will be the co-chairs.

One thing about VTS is we get "read, mark, and inwardly digest" emails from our Defensive Coordinator / Acting Dean of Chapel re: football plays ποΈββοΈπ

One fun quirk about small residential grad school is going to tell your professor you're out with a cold only to discover an email saying they're out too

Ecologist speaking calmly: if you pump groundwater from a drinking water aquifer for cooling data center shit and it evaporates, becomes a cloud, drifts away, and rains into the sea, you have in effect USED UP WATER. Begging everyone to learn the water cycle taught in 7th grade.

Itβs never not funny that people think water gets used up. Like theyβre mining water.

Part of the problem with the "kids don't read books" discourse is that the concerned professors are self-selected to be nerds who genuinely enjoy reading academic material and have to use imagination to understand reading as a burden

I was assigned full books all throughout my schooling, and by the end of ~fancy~ ~rigorous~ college I was completely disenchanted. I went from kid who devours books to adult who dreads them, in large part because "reading" became sublimated into the "toil" category

Assigning full books is a good thing, I don't care very much about that discourse.
I do have a problem with people who look down their noses at those who dislike reading, especially those who espouse the exact pedagogy that slowly drained my own love for books.

what are your favorite words that vaguely sound like compliments but can be effectively deployed as insults? 'singular' and 'remarkable' are my two favorites but looking to add to the arsenal

Voting for Dems isn't a magic wand, and voting AGAINST Dems isn't a magic wand. Because voting isn't a magic wand.

The conversation about A.I. begins and ends with the Spongebob episode where King Neptune mass produces hundreds of disgusting Krabby Patties through magic and Spongebob handmakes one delicious Krabby Patty with love
