The AI as God thing really separates the actual antitheists from the posers. I will assemble friends and kill that computer as a service to our dignity as a species.

In a sign of growing international cooperation in the restitution of looted artifacts, Portugal has returned three pre-Columbian objects to Mexico. This will be the first time Portugal has repatriated unlawfully acquired antiquities to that country.

in an era when carnivore diet influencers are in charge of the american nuclear arsenal we have to admit the "annoying vegan" stereotype barely ever actually existed and the "all meat diet guy" is real, increasingly omnipresent, and way more annoying and inconvenient to actually be around
If I didn't know and had to guess the three vegetables which have their own dedicated salts, I'd probably hit onion and garlic fairly quickly, but celery would honestly take me a while.

I learned everything I needed to about AI from watching βMrs. Davisβ (2023), and so my next step is clear: a Holy War against AI.
Calling all the PhDs I know to make monumental annoyances of themselves (and honestly, who better)
If your Robin Hood isn't a camp, clearly bisexual, polyamorous tart in bright green tights I'm not interested.

Reminder on this day of Advent:
If your Christianity isn't oriented around bringing down the powerful, liberating the oppressed, feeding the poor, and sending the rich away empty, the Theotokos says you are doing it wrong.

Not to vaguely scream into the void, but the onslaught of think pieces on folks βgamingβ accommodations really goads me.
βAccessibilityβ often is poorly thought out, limited in scope, and inconvenient (by design!) simply because parts of society donβt believe in any accommodations.

Among music fans, itβs considered rude to touch a cassette with your hands. When you need to handle a cassette, for example to remove it from the case or to change the side, itβs best to do so using small tongs, like the kind you would find with the cucumber slices at a reputable salad buffet.
just like "woke Marxist Pope", the phrase "gay hockey show" also works for Chappell Roan's hit song πΆPink Pony ClubπΆ
Itβs an uncomfortable feeling to have to explain yourself every time you speak about your religion. The association of a complex and nuanced spiritual experience with hate and violence feels awful.
So, Happy Advent. May we all hope for peace and love as we wait for the coming of the spring.

there is some controversy here, where other scientists insist that Neanderthals and early Humans were only roommates
There is something else intrinsically troubling about traditional femininity and cottagecore and the desire to homestead⦠because they require land. Ownership of land and homesteading slots uncomfortably into a neo-Manifest Destiny.
I like pretty dresses, but not the romanticization of land grabs.

Happy St Katherine's Day to all scholars, librarians, and Katherines. May you win an argument against an annoying man today, in the true spirit of Katherine herself.

Vance et al adore the notion of schism. They misapprehend, at core, the entire notion of the Church

All the thinkpieces about Bluesky don't account for the fact that it's occasionally 100% wall-to-wall baseball on here
I have been confronted with an ad for Advent calendars and so it is time for the annual PSA:
THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS BEGIN
ON
CHRISTMAS
THEY ARE NOT ANY OF THE DAYS LEADING UP TO CHRISTMAS
THAT IS ADVENT
WHICH BEGINS FOUR SUNDAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
I have been saving my sanity by buying 50Β’ abjectly wrecked Barbie dolls, repairing and repainting them and building a gothic dollhouse where they can all live in harmony. The number of doll limbs piled around my house may mean that I have in fact NOT saved my sanity.
The opposite in fact.
I truly believe having the two of them advise on the issue would make the joke truly perfect (to me.)
