Seemingly under the impression that God can be glorified with frivolous Red Sox tweets and occasional Star Wars hot takes.

In his message for the 60th World Day of Social Communications, Pope Leo XIV highlights the importance of ensuring that technological innovation, particularly artificial intelligence, serves the human person rather than replacing or diminishing human dignity.

Please make this a reality, Yankees.

OK let’s say hypothetically you famously hit a walkoff extra inning home run off a non-reliever in another one of the most high-leverage postseason plate appearances in baseball history. Would that have changed your thinking about whether this was a good idea

Surely that would be for the *difference* in housework, right?
Yeah, husbands do less housework per week than wives, but the gap is only ~12 hours (and was about half that before last year).
Let's value that work at about $30/hr (4x federal minimum wage) and do some math:

12 hours more than husband per week
x52 weeks
x$30/hr
➗12 months
=$1,560/month
How much of that $1,560 per month should wives pay back for room and board?
Put another way, how much are you currently spending on rent & groceries?

apparently i need to add an addendum to this tweet. no i am not encouraging 'portraying sex as evil' this is hilarious bc this never even crossed my mind as i don't view the "dark" side of the force or sith as inherently evil. i want more moral ambiguity/greyness & nuance in SW

Incidentally, that nods to quotes:
"The Jedi Council want control of the Republic."
"All who gain power are afraid to lose it, even the Jedi."
"Good is a point of view, Anakin. The Sith and the Jedi are similar in almost every way, including their quest for greater power."

There can be multiple routes to arriving at a conclusion. So far you haven't addressed the non-Catholic way of arriving at the conclusion that we should at least try to avoid no-fault divorce. For the purposes of the discussion, it doesn't really matter.

Just like it wouldn't matter if I tried the opposite approach: "I'm Catholic therefore I have the truth and I'm right by default." That would also be invalid argumentation.

@secularprolife The CDC just released its provisional 2023 data on births by state (cdc.gov/nchs/data/vsrr/vsrr0…), the first full year post-Dobbs. I compared the numbers to 2022, and they look bad at first, but...

...they actually serve as evidence against the pro-choice claim that abortion bans don't decrease abortions. Feel free to DM me for the full analysis and reuse however you like!

The Conan Hot Ones episode was a unique generation-gap-bridging experience. He taught about comedy while being funny, working in nods to Chaucer and Letterman. It's like if old Buster Keaton hosted SNL, taught young Bill Murray about Shakespeare, and was the best guest host ever.

Update: after 10 seasons, Mookie Betts is now #6 in active bWAR. The weird question now is, with Mookie 21 WAR behind Mike Trout in 3 fewer seasons, will Trout's injury troubles make it possible for Mookie to catch him?

Greinke hasn't officially retired, but he isn't included in the ranking any more, meaning Mookie is now top-5. Happy opening day!

2,229 days elapsed after George RR Martin's A Dance with Dragons- enough time for the makers of Logan Lucky to film & release this classic scene in theaters. It has now been 2,229 days since the film & those inmates are still waiting on The Winds of Winter
