Just like clockwork. The corporations that we VOTED to block from buying off politicians are suing to make sure...they can keep buying off politicians.

C.S. Lewis didn’t write Aslan in The Magician’s Nephew as a standard roaring fantasy king; he wrote a cosmic architect who literally sings a brand new universe into existence out of the void. Casting Meryl Streep for the origin story isn’t about gender-swapping a lion; it’s about choosing an actor who can command divine gravitas and maternal, mythic creation without sounding like a boom-mic booming over a church PA. Greta Gerwig treated Barbie like high art; she’s treating Narnia’s genesis like a rock-and-roll creation myth.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

I really love Hal in Lanterns. I think having a super hero with passive suicidal ideation continuously push through that with willpower, and have the courage to continue fighting and save people speaks wonders to me.

The world does not need an artificial intelligence that diminishes humanity; rather, it needs human intelligence enlightened by wisdom, political authority guided by conscience and technological innovation directed by charity. Only then will artificial intelligence become not a rival to humanity but a servant of the common good.

I renew my appeal for an end to the ongoing violence against the Palestinian civilian population in the West Bank, and I urgently call on the international community to work toward advancing the two-state solution, for a just and lasting peace.

Congrats to former #Bears RB Ian Wheeler on winning the UFL championship with the Louisville Kings! Wheeler was named United Bowl MVP for having 10 rushes for 81 yards and a TD. He definitely belongs back in the NFL

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

The rage bait lemmings in the comments are too stupid to know that Colbert knows more about Tolkien than most “professional” Tolkien scholars. Sounds like this is a movie with Tom Bombadil.

Packers WR Christian Watson was completely shocked watching Bears QB Caleb Williams make magic converting the 4th & 8 to Rome Odunze: “Bro, what?” Love to see it. 🔥 🎥: @nflfilms

Dear secretly affirming Christians (especially pastors), It’s way past time to stand up and speak out on behalf of your LGBTQ+ siblings. I know you have a lot to lose, I’ve been through it all, but it’s nothing compared to the queer lives being lost and marginalized by your silence.

If it's not him...it may be no one.
Ryan Poles has made some dumb decisions. But he deserves a lot of credit for convincing Caleb Williams to come to Chicago. According to Wickersham, Caleb met with Kevin O’Connell and wanted to go to the Vikings and even told his dad we have to figure something out. They considered going to the UFL and even mentioned it to the Bears to trade the pick. Ryan Poles refused and said just come meet with me before you make your decision. So the Bears had Caleb come to Halas Hall and after meeting with Ryan Poles he told his dad… "I can do it for this team. I'm going to go to the Bears."
